gvp Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hey Guys, A very silent reader here...I got my PR approved last week... I belong to one of the rarest professions that anyone would apply thro as a " Visual arts and crafts professional " and i work for the vfx industry here. Country : India (HR) I was on 457 visa working here for a year and my company sponsored me a 186 DE visa. Applied profession : Visual arts and crafts professional PR lodged on : 19th January 2018 I was pretty proactive in getting all police checks attached in May and getting my Health checked up at the same time. I was willing to update my police checks manually every 6 months and the latest PAYG without letting them them asking me for an updated one when they opened my application, although i never needed to do that too considering it got approved sooner than expected. I was happy to get the health checkups done again if requested. Nomination and PR approved on same day : 25th September 2018 My life was very rough in the last few months and I stressed as much as many people half way through but i learnt that there was no use stressing when im in the processing time limit as there is nothing that i can control, i only ended up losing peace at the moment. Once i stopped caring about anything and just letting the application go on the side while i live my life everyday being happy with what i had in Australia, i received a call from my MA and i was surprised. I would only suggest anyone not to get too stressed, we cant do anything inside the time limit and things are not under control. Just do your best by providing all docs correctly on time and let the application cook on the side. Good luck to you guys! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied at the same time and with the same occupation. Still just 'received'. My file is decision ready but doesnt seem to have made a difference. Hopefully get some news soon. Honestly been the most stressful, long process. Fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria8999 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Also a heads up as recently received urgent email from MA- pretty ridiculous, as if we need more stress. Obviously, immigration not taking into account at all how small businesses; or start-ups work We have recently received feedback of highly controversial outcomes from the Department who are starting to refuse 186 nomination applications on the basis that the business does not have the financial capacity to employ the nominee and pay the market rate salary for at least two years. Further to this where a case officer has concerns regarding the financial capability of the nominator, they are not required to request additional information and can make a decision on the application without warning. These decisions are being made by case officers who have limited to no understanding of how to read and interpret financial statements, and cannot comprehend standard industry accounting practices that may result in a business operating at a loss or only a small profit margin. These types of refusals do not align with current policy guidelines, however the decision remain valid. We are now entering into an era with the Australian Government where they see Migration as a revenue stream and do not care about the outcome. They see no downside to providing a negative decision because in most instances it leads to a second application to generate further income AS A MATTER OF URGENCY and to ENSURE that documentation submitted clearly meets Regulation 5.19 (5) (n) and we leave nothing to chance we recommend you provide: Updated financial documentation from the business including BAS statements from April 2017, profit and loss, and annual report for the most recent financial year. Updated letter of support from the company accountant to attest that the business “has the capacity to employ the identified person for at least 2 years and to pay the person at least the annual market salary rate for the occupation each year”. Reasons should be given by the accountant to support their statement. Please see attached partially completed template for completion. To add weight the letter should be signed by a professional accountant who holds recognised qualification or memberships such as CPA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still CO said documents didn't show genuine position. That’s only one of the reasons. I guess they can’t refuse you based on the employer can’t pay enough for the next 2 years so they assume your position is not genuine.
