However, my employer check with another agent and they insisted that employer do not have to pay for the training benchmark fee for that period even though the SAF levy wasn't implement yet and what they need to do is just pay the SAF when I lodge my 186 visa application and nomination. I really want to get everything right for my application but I am so confusing with that. Do my employer need to pay the training benchmark for the time that I on my 457 to avoid nomination refuse? Anyone have the same situation before? Please give me some advices. Thank you. Yes definitely he needs to pay thank you. mints nearly 3400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

there Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 BTW, I have a question. Why do others do not provide Heath Assessment result right after submitting the application? I was requested by my MA to have the health assessment as soon as he submitted my application. Is it something that is requested by CO or does it really come after app submission? Just curious.

So if you get medical straight away, it will expire. Better to wait until you think it's less than a year til visa grant. Now all 186 wait times are less than a year, it makes sense to get a medical straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cramtolum Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Hello everyone, i'm reading all of you everyday waiting for my PR but today is not with happiness i m writing to all of you. I need your help and your advice. I've been working really hard as a chef for the last 3 years for a company who shut down very recently. Never a sick day, never late, anyway I'am or I was with them on the 457 before april 2017. I applied for my 186 Transition pathway the 1 November 2019 and waiting for a decision. My question is : Do my bridging visa A from PR is kicking in because they stop/cancel my 457 (close the business)? And i have the right to work everywhere Or do i have to transfer my sponsorship? but in this way do i have to reapply for my PR as the nominated business will not be the same. I'm completely lost and very confuse. Scared to call the immigration as well, don't know what to do.... If anyone went through the same situation could you please answer. My lawyer is telling me to transfer my sponsor and i got 60 days to do so but need to pay again and find one of course. Any advice during this hard time is very appreciated. So close....

As your former company is the one who has nominated you for visa 186, there is no way CO will not be able to know that the company has closed already. One of the requirements for the nomination is for the company to prove their stability and income but in your case, the company has closed totally. I’m afraid your chance for 186 is very low due to the said closure and that the nomination will be rejected in the first place. Listen to your lawyer. He knows better. I agree that your visa needs to be transferred to any company who is willing to hire you or to nominate you for visa 186. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it mean i lost the money about the visa (186) and i need to start everything again? Better to withdrawal the application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withdrawal of the application is, I think, the best option now. Also, the result of your current application may possibly affect future applications. Again, you should consult your lawyer. Ask him about all legal options. All the best! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that ! if business close down already either you or company should inform department immediately " changes of circumstances " to avoid any legal actions by department. secondly brother, you have to do all over again or check some other options for PR.

Is it something that is requested by CO or does it really come after app submission? Just curious. @there This really is dependent on the applicant and the strength of the case. A few months ago, MA's were telling applicants to wait before getting medicals because a medical is only valid for 1 year and cases were taking longer than that. That meant lots of people were having to do more than one medical (typically on the request of the CO's due to expired medicals). Now really, I think (in most cases) you'd be OK do it sooner, especially if you're working with an accredited company / MA (these cases are taking ±3-4 months for approval). I have a friend who's in the process (with an accredited company) and was told do to the medical immediately on lodgement as they expect a CO to review the application within the month. - If they don't, the CO will request it and hence, cause additional delay (which is what everyone is trying to avoid). So really it comes down to the application and cost for the applicant. If you can afford a 2nd one (risk an expiry), then do it immediately, alternatively you could wait ±3 months before doing it (it's all guess work as to when the CO will open your case). When in doubt, follow the advise from your MA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So close.... @cramtolum I'm sorry to hear this - especially after 3 years of hard work. I'm afraid, as the others have mentioned, you'll need to withdrawn your application and either a) find a sponsor to take over your existing 457 or b) find a new sponsor for what would likely need to be a 482 visa. In saying that, you would also only have 60 days for doing this as your current visa is no longer active (from when the company closed officially). Sounds like a real tough situation and I wish you all the best. I think a long chat with a good MA / lawyer is needed! Keep us posted and let us know how you go.

Hoiz Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hi All, Joined in recently, got couple of question for DE application 1.Is there any field which would ask if the applicant inside or outside Australia? If yes 2.where is that (nomination / visa application )? 3. Would it impact timeline if the Applicant is outside Australia. 4. And what would be a better option when the application is submitted when outside Australia (filling in as outside Australia for above field) and coming to Australia after some time, would it be better to update to inside Australia in application? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average wait times are 5 to 6 months. They are usually pretty similar to the wait times for the Visa Application themselves as they are usually granted pretty quickly, one after the other. However, these are averages only and the processing time will depend on your individual circumstances.

I had previously been led to believe this was true also, but found out the hard way that's not how it works! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
