RecPom Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Unbearable situation here: - 482 visa granted back in Aug 2016 (the old 457 Visa) - Flew back to the UK March 2020 for a 3 week break. - Borders shut. Unable to get back. - 482 Visa expired Aug 2020. - 186 TRT applied for July 2020. - Still waiting for approval May 2021. - Been working for no salary since April 2020, Aussie hours from the UK. Not sure how long I can continue to do this before I break. Am I still worth applying for Travel exemptions in hopes that approval will trigger Visa approval? Any other avenues other than waiting indefinitely? Anyone else in this boat?? Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they will focus on onshore applicants. Not sure any chance for offshore applicants 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was stuck for 9 months as well but they allowed me to work remotely with salary. Later on, I was able to get an exemption. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have any update about my nomination so far. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KansasDreaming Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hi everyone Joining the chorus to see if there are any people in a similar boat with any good news? My timeline is below; Occupation: Marketing Manager Birth Country: US Stream: 186 TRS Offshore / Sydney Number of applicants: 1 Visa and Nomination applied: 1 July 2020 Nomination approved: 14th July 2020 Status: Received. I'm currently offshore and I'm keen to know if there have been any offshore applicants who applied in 2020 who've had PR approval. Like many people, seeing the timelines increase periodically and taking into consideration the news around prioritisation for onshore applicants has been hard. Getting back home ( AUS) has been an impossibility ( despite me trying), i'm desperate to be among the 75% who're processed within 13 months!

I am in a similar boat (applied earlier than you, April 2020). Well, according to the disclosure logs the Department publishes, there have been few offshore applicants that got their PR grants in 2020 and 2021 (and even earlier in this theme you could find a post from one of these lucky guys). This gives some hope although not really a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxh Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) Hi all, quick question for 457 ->186trt ICT business analyst If my visa and nomination applies offshore(still holding 457, working remotely and waiting for 186trt). Once the gate open, I back to Aus. Q1: What kind of applicant I will be? Offshore or onshore? Q2: Does it affect the processing time? Thanks Edited May 12, 2021 by dxh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks are you intending to travel to AUS prior to your visa being granted ( if so, how?). Eitherway, I'd imagine you'd still be an offshore applicant as this is determined at the moment of application ( from what i've seen online). On point 2, based on this sbs link: https://www.sbs.com.au/language/english/audio/budget-2021-22-update-on-australia-s-immigration-program-skilled-migrants-and-international-students onshore applicants are to be prioritised.

Do you think you're waiting longer due to the number of applicants on your application? To be honest, I would rather relate it to my Russian citizenship. However, it might be the case of the position that is not in PMSOL, the number of applicants, bad luck or something else; kind of guessing game. There are people here waiting since 2019...

Been waiting almost 11 months now. A guy I work with has exactly the same timeline as me but he had his visa granted in 4 months. Haven’t been seeing many carpenters have visas granted recently. Has anyone else? Timeline - ENS 186 Carpenter Onshore NSW Lodged 5th May 2020 Medical done s56 requested and answered. Except for an extension requested by my employer to give him time to gather financials for the company. All answered now Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and good luck Have you had any news? We are also applying under same occupation and finally got to lodge applications yesterday and had our medicals completed today! don’t see many trades on here.

Shashank2000 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I have a doubt on PCC. For some of those who already granted PR, Case officer asked for PCC again if it is expired but that was only new AFP? or all 10 years PCC again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
