Almost forgetting!! That's really too long for an ICT occupation. Can we know what are three S56 requests asked by immigration? Also, what is your immigration agent saying about this long waiting?

starfruit56 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Just thought I would introduce myself - we are in month 5 of the application being submitted and are waiting. We are all offshore so I know that everything is more complicated, but if anyone hears about progress moving forward for offshore/ non PMSOL occupations then I would love to know. All of us are a bit discouraged being offshore and hearing nothing but crickets for months on end.... Occupation: Veterinarian Location: Offshore (4 family members) Nomination: Established employed - used a MARA agent appointed by employer so unsure of date of approval but has been approved. Visa Application: 29/7/2020 Medicals submitted: 9/3/2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raza12345 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Hi, My employer wants to nominate me for 186 direct entry, however, he is not willing to do labor market testing. For 186 nomination, does it impact the nomination outcome if labor market testing is not done? Please guide, Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are not using a migration agent to handle the case, they are very foolish and it is unlikely to succeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooGoodToBeTrue Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Good to hear - someone threw out there that the department were in leave till middle of Jan so that’s not the case for NSW at least!

Thanks in advance. Yes, I applied through a registered migration agent. They choose one for me, just only a small firm one. I have one in my mind (that I want) as well but they did not allow me to choose so I needed to process with their chosen one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's legal. The employer usually uses an agent to do their side of the application, but they can't make you use the same agent.

DrunkBell Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 My company was working with an agent; they told me that I could use theirs or find my own agent or even do it by myself. I don't think any company will force to use their agent, but I think there might be certain advantages to use theirs like lower fees and more importantly most of the documentation already prepared if the workplace made other applications in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmoomtang Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Just wanna ask your guys about Medicare card if you guys have any clue on this? I have a physical blue "Interim" card since I applied for a PR. At this time, I got my PR and I checked my Medicare online account. The digital card changes from Interim card to Green one and valid till 2026. Will the new physical "green" Medicare card post to my home? Or do I need to walk-in to Centrelink to change from "blue" to "green"? Thanks very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much. @ohmoomtang I'm not sure if the rules have changed around this due to COVID, however, ~2 years ago, we were told that we had to physically go into a Centerlink to get this changed. - It was a real quick process and I think we were out of there in ±20-25min (for 4 of us) - we also ALL had to be present. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that, although we were able to get Medicare whilst waiting for PR, we were not able to claim any CCS (Child care subsidy - this we had to wait for PR). Hope that helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
