Minch23 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Nomination for 187 approved since november 2013 and its been since 9 months since application made. No my company has decided to got franchise and is my store to be first. gona happen in 3 months. what will happen to my visa? or application? Ā Before my visa was granted, my sponsors leased out part of the business that I was working in, the new management decided to honor the sponsorship as it was already in the process, and they did not have to do a thing. However, once my visa was granted I was released from my contract by the new management, as my job role was no longer needed. I contacted immigration who told me unless a complaint is made against me, my case with them was closed. However, I have stayed in the same area, and have also remained in the same job role with another company for my own piece of mind, (I was also advised to show in-case any complaint was made against me to show that I have made all efforts to comply with the RSMS guidelines). My advice if your visa is not granted by the takeover is to ask them to honor your sponsorship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRJohnson4 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hi everyone I am new to the forum. Haven't yet submitted an application but we are about too. Ā The problem is the employer is only willing to sponsor if my husband can be working in a timely manner. Ideally with 5 weeks. Here's what we plan to do- Employer will submit there nomination this week to RCB. Hopefully they can have this all ready to then submit to DIAC within 2 weeks. My husband currently in the Uk will travel to Australia once the nomination is lodged with DIAC and have our 187 ready to be submitted within a couple of days of arrival. He will then submit the 187 which should grant him a bridging visa as he will only be on a tourist visa. As the bridging visa won't have work rights he will apply for a further bridging visa that will allow him to work due to the fact he will suffer from financial difficulty if he doesn't. I have read on another forum that these are usually granted within 48 hours. My husband can then commence working for the company whilst the visa process is taking place, and ideally all this will happen within 5-6 weeks. We mostly have our documents ready to go it'll just be a matter of submitting the 187 once he arrives there so he is onshore. Ā Has anybody got any experience with bridging visas or knows how likely is it that this plan can work? Ā Any my help will be greatly received as we are eager to make this work.

Ā The bridging visa will only kick in once the tourist visa expires. Your Husband should be granted a work permit with his bridging visa, but again this will only be valid once the tourist visa expires. Your husband won't have work rights for the 12 weeks that the tourist visa is valid for. Applying for a permanent visa, will not cancel out the tourist visa he will arrive on.

LRJohnson4 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Thanks for the response Minch23. Ā I was hoping there would be some way around that. He was going to apply for a working holiday visa but he held one 9 years ago so wouldn't be able to apply for another one. Back then if you left the country for 3 months you could reapply for one but I that's all changed by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I've been acknowledged by my company that due to my good repo they are willing to keep me in the company but might be a different role but yea I would like to remain in the same store as I know all ins and outs. will defo ask the new franchisee if he can keep me till the decision is made.

QSR Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 A question. What do you need to do after the fulfillment of your visa condition (of 2 yrs)? Do you contact immigration and tell them I've done my job? Do you get PR with condition written on it? Do you gota save all the payslips till the end?

DEEP2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hi, I have applied 187 on 2nd of march.

kayinperth Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) A question.What do you need to do after the fulfillment of your visa condition (of 2 yrs)? Do you contact immigration and tell them I've done my job? Do you get PR with condition written on it? Do you gota save all the payslips till the end? Regards Ā 1:Nothing you need to do. After two years (finish your contract with your employer), you decide what you do. You don't have to stay at the workplace, or even industry. Don't forget you need to get RRV after the first 5 years when you go out of Australia. Ā 2:I don't think you need to advice about your 2 years obligation. Ā 3:It may be different statements depending when you receive, but mine (2012) said about RRV. some other things are on the PR letter but nothing like "condition" things. Ā 4:if you are business owner, you are required to hold them 6-7 years (sorry not sure the exact period), but if you are just a employee, just for 1-2 years after a financial year. Ā others can explain more, but PR isn't much complicated on RSMS. Edited April 2, 2014 by kayinperth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The wording of each visa appears to be slightly different (who knows why, maybe different co's?). Mine does state that it is part of my visa conditions that I must stay with my employer for two years, visa can be cancelled bla bla bla. Mine also says I have to tell them about change of contact details etc too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was June 2012 Mine doesn't say 2 years rule at all, and change residential address, but if I change the circumstance of employment, I need to inform them (doesn't say until when I should (like within 2 years or after two years). Ā VEVO tells you the same things? my VEVO doesn't tell any at all.... Ā I can imagine that Independent skilled visa letter may not state much as they have no condition...

Yes, as I said, all letters seem to be slightly different. Even without that written into the letter though the employment part is always a condition of the visa. I have no idea why they want to know each time I move house, very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ā Hi Deep, I got the same situation but don't think that is a CO coz I've applied 5 days ago and only the documents that I uploaded are as required and I send some extra docs that are not required for example my partner qualifications and work experience. What is your occupation and where is your application office. I am applying as architectural draft person and my application went to Parramatta even thought I am in WA.

ipl Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I think your employer can check it using VEVO.. but I am afraid that would said only in process... the best way is to call immigration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipl Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I have found this page that says that the earliest allocated day for CO for visa 190 (that is priority 3) is in 7 weeks of lodgement... so may be we can have a CO after 7 weeks.
