Is there anybody here that have gotten approval or rejection with a wage around 60K? If your salary was based on fair work agreement and the agreement is 60K or lower you should not be worried ---> https://www.fairwork.gov.au/awards-and-agreements/awards/list-of-awards However, If someone in your company has the same position as you, then you should get paid the same amount or higher than that person with the same position. In my case, my nomination was approved and my salary in a bit under 60K as it was calculated based on Fairwork. Cheers.

Based on what I see in this website, every salaries higher than 54K are acceptable, even for professional jobs and experienced persons, right? Honestly, I cannot find it for a chemical engineer who works in a oil analysis laboratory Edited May 20, 2019 by Anajmi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when the fun begins - i declared my caution from 2002 on my original 457 and my records where verified by immigration with ACRO prior to my visa grant in 2016 Now im in the process of gaining my 186 the subject access showed a court appearance with no penalty at all imposed so i never declared it - however my MA now says i have to prepare a notice of incorrect answer which seems odd as i wasn't convicted, fined or cautioned. Just though i would mention this as no doubt you will be in the same boat if anything else shows up on the subject access.. Thanks. Thanks for this, really helpful. We got the access report after 2 and a half weeks and submitted it with a statement on Friday 17th. Its out of our hands now...just sitting and waiting.

To be honest, this will not have too much of an affect as 160,000 was consistent with the intake over the past 12 months. Australia accepted 162,417 permanent migrants in the past year. The only other thing is who will be home minister and if they will bring up the changes to citizenship again (remember the 4 years of PR, instead of four years in Australia with one year pr), or deal with the terrible back log in citizenship applications (over two years at the moment). These will only affect us after we receive our grant though. Labor didn't support these policies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone, and good luck! @art that is excellent news, congratulations.... I am trusting that since you and I have very similar timelines, Lodgement and Nomination approval, that I would be not too far off from a visa grant...but then again, predicting an outcome with this process only creates anxiety, so I will just rely on my faith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is what it currently is. They tried to change it to 4 years PR last year but it was never passed. Pauline Hanson is trying to get it to 8 years PR and according to this article: https://www.sbs.com.au/yourlanguage/punjabi/en/article/2018/02/09/pauline-hanson-wants-migrants-wait-8-years-become-citizens a private member's Bill has been brought before the Federal Parliament that seeks to increase the waiting period for permanent residents to eight years before they can apply to be Australian citizens.

I believe that's the case. Two years ago they froze citizenship applications while Dutton tried to force that change through, adding an English language test and some other requirements. They couldn't get it passed but created a huge backlog by not accepting applications for a six month period and scaring anyone who was elligible for citizenship to appy all at once. I'm worried now that they have a better majority that it will come back and they could pass it now, which would be a kick in the teeth considering I've been here 5 1/2 years and only just got PR. Might not happen though, best case Dutton doesn't get the home affairs portfolio but imagine whoever they put in that role will have similar views to his.

We're in the exact same position. Declared a caution on our 457. Our MA sent our 186 application stupidly without the caution detail. So they requested a SAR. Theres other things on there but none are cautions...we called the UK to get these details. But we took the bull by the horns and provided a statement with everything along with strong character references followed by the SAR when it arrived. We hoped those would show utter transparency. Just waiting now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t understand why we should wait all that time I mean we already work hard for our visa we already show them our English level with ielts or pte we already provided our police check and everything I think that they just want to find extra excuses for have a second class people that pay taxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's likely your nomination has been approved BUT we have encountered a few cases on this forum recently whereby requests were made on the application, and nomination was still pending. Worth trying to track down someone in your MA agency for a definitive answer. Good luck Just a quick update, have heard back from the MA and the nomination was approved on 24 Apr as well (same day as further request for med check). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBO Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hi Guys, Ive got a letter from the immi requesting for a evidence as " no equivalent worker". I am nominated as an Accountant with 3 years of experience in an Accounting firm and offered a salary of $65K annually. I couldnt find the award or agreement in fairwork as the sponsor is not under banking or financial but a retailer and wholesale selling of computer or IT products so I was advised that it is a free award. I checked the salary surveys in the market and the min salary is $75K. Does anyone has similar situation? I'm thinking I am given that salary because of the length of my work experience. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
