One of my friend nomination got approved hairdresser trt 3 months ago but still received

[dschmidt]

Hi everyone,

I applied for DE, but I am still on the student visa until it expires (nov/2018).

Does anyone know if I can travel to another country for one week while I am on the student visa without affecting anything in my application?

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

Question:

In April it's going to be 2 years since we applied for 186 trt. Since when we applied we stated that we would have staied in the job position for other 2 years... does this means in april 2019 we can leave our job?

Our nomination has been approved in March 2018, and waiting since then for visa approval with docs requested twice!

What do you guys think?

I think yes. Just make sure you do not leave your job before you get the PR.

I meant... can I leave the job with only nomination approved if visa doesn't get approved by then?

You surely can. But then you will not be able to get the visa using the approved nomination.

You can leave but your visa won't be granted.

Question regarding the 2 year contract. I do have a contract which spans more then 2 years. However, soon it will be less then 2 years until my contract expires. As it is a requirement for us to have a 2 year contract, do we need to have one before the visa is approved (What I mean is that they will ask you to show that you have a 2 year visa before the final approval)? Or is it only a requirement when you apply for the visa?

It is a very good question, and I do not know the answer. Uni staff usually get three years contract at most. Given that the current timeline is more than one year, most of us would have less than two years left, at the time of possible visa approval. I assume (and hope) this should be still fine. Otherwise, universities will complain about this situation, as it was already the case when they removed Uni Lecturer from the MLTSSL list.

Yes I hope this is the case. The norm at my uni is one year contracts.

Does the contract have to indicate the 2 year employment or some extra document? I dont have it in my contract.

Hi , 

Same here. Usually , uni contract is for one year unless you have your own grants. I guess the 2 year contract rule are mostly to small business.

Employers have to express intention to sponsor for 2 years, but dont have to obligation to do that. What is CO expectation to see this intention? Does the employment contract have to be signed for a  definite period of 2 years?

My uni will not nominate you for the 186 visa unless you have a three-years contract.

I agree. I am not exactly sure however from this forum I learned that employer should provide assurance ( could be in document form) to the immigration that the position will remain for at least next two years after visa grant.

You are right. Most of the Uni (at least where I belong to) nominate someone for 186 visa if they have 3 year contract.  However, most Uni positions are opened for fixed term of 1 year unless you or your supervisor has grants for at least 3 years.

Did you do a skill assesment? Or left it as University lecturers are exempt?

Our migration agent has us provide a letter confirming we intend for the nominee's employment contract to extend at least two years after the visa is granted.
