Hello, My Student Visa expires on the 31st of January this year and I was stuck in some of the questions on the application form. In the part where the documents need to be submitted, it is asking me for Police check from the home country as well as the Australian Police check. I have successfully done the police check for Australia but I have no Police check information for my home country (India). I was not asked for the home country police check information on my former Student Visa application (500) and also my friend who completed his Visa (485) 6 months back was not asked for a home country police verification documents or check information. I am unaware of any updates on the application forms by the Australian Immigrations and I am only stuck with this document and rest all clear. This application is being lodged by myself and while I tried seeking help from the IDP Australia's team and the Australian Immigrations helpline which was not at all helpful and other agents were charging more than $100 for on call enquiry help. Please help me answer this query. Thank you for reading and helping

I have two questions. My partner is applying for the Australian 476 graduate visa and I am included as the dependent. Will I have the same working rights as my partner for a job or will I have any sort of disadvantage. We are both equally eligible for the 476 visa by the way, with same degree and qualification. But we decided to apply together under one visa. Do you think that is the right thing to do or should we apply individually?

Anyone on board, who have applied for Skilled—Recognised Graduate visa (subclass 476)

Hi All, Did anyone out there have applied through this "State nomination for international PhD graduates" scheme? In near future I will be finishing my Ph.D in civil engineering and I need to apply for this state nomination scheme. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you Best Regards

This video was shared with me over the weekend from my friend in Sydney which was interesting as I am trying to get my PR in much the same way as well. May be of interest to some of you but at least it looks real. I think its interesting to hear how difficult they made it for her just cause she's from Brazil. tez
