Hi everyone,
I just recently got the refusal nomination from DHA. The agent will lodge the AAT for me soon. Can anyone please let me any chance for me to get the positive outcome of the AAT if the reasons to get the refusal of nomination include:
- (i) whether the identified person would be paid at least the annual market salary rate for the occupation; --> this is because a salary in the range of $60,000 - $65,000pa was expected for candidates with 3 years’ experience and $70,000 to $75,000 pa for candidates with 5 years experience, but the nominated position required 3 years’ experience and offered $54,000pa which appears low in comparison.
- (ii) whether there is a genuine need for the identified person to be employed in the position, under the direct control of the nominator; --> this is because the employer advertised to sale the property that DHA defined it is the core of the business, but technically, the business and the property completely different. The property included a luxury hotel, and the main activity of business based on it. (Immigration agent explained me that the concepts of property and business are different)
- (iii) whether the position can be filled by an Australian citizen or an Australian permanent resident who is living in, or would move to, the local area concerned; --> the DHA commented that this is because the procedure of recruitment that lack of genuine rigour in searching the local labour market as about 20 applications received, no interviews conducted. And the employer haven't had the evidence of how I'm the best candidate to be chosen for the role.
My deadline is only about 2 weeks to lodge the AAT. Please with you guys experience, can anyone please tell me if any hope for the nomination outcome to PR.
Thanks so much and best of luck for everyone.
