Harry032 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Good news for everyone AUSTRALIA GOOD NEWS FOR IMMIGRANTS AS IMMIGRATION DEPARTMENT REMOVED MANDATORY TWO YEAR WORK EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS FOR THOSE APPLYING PERMANENT RESIDENCY UNDER REGIONAL SKILLED MIGRATION SCHEME FOR INTERNATIONAL VET GRADUATES PROVIDED THEY HOLD MINIMUM CERTIFICATE IV QUALIFICATION 25TH FEB. 2015 The Department of Immigration and Border Protection have updated their RSMS visa policy after removing the mandatory two-year work experience requirement in recent times. Consequently, international VET sector graduates no longer require two-years full time work experience to apply for a RSMS if they hold a minimum Certificate IV qualification. Instead, an applicant's required level of experience is determined by their relevant ANZSCO classification rating - which is specific to their occupation - as it was prior to the policy change in August 2013. The change follows a recent MRT case which saw a visa refusal based on the requirement successfully overturned by Migration Solutions. "This is the biggest change to RSMS policy for a long time," said Migration Solutions Managing Director, Mark Glazbrook. "The two-year work experience requirement was an unnecessary requirement that prevented a number of genuine visa applicants from attaining permanent residency in low population growth areas such as South Australia. "The change is an extremely positive measure that will benefit thousands of international students and local businesses." The policy now states: 30.2 AQF Certificate III, IV and Diploma qualifications If the applicant relies on an Australian qualification, that qualification must be as specified within the ANZSCO framework for that occupation. For example, if the nominated position were that of a cook (ANZSCO 351411), the applicant must: hold a relevant AQF Certificate IV or hold a relevant AQF Certificate III including at least two years of on the job training or have at least 3 years of relevant experience. If the Certificate III was obtained without the formal on-the-job training component, to satisfy the skill requirement the applicant must have at least 2 years post-qualification experience, obtained on a full time basis or its part-time equivalent. The 2 years of post-qualification experience is taken to be equal to the on-the-job training component. This is to ensure that the qualification is relevant to the tasks of the occupation and that the applicant indeed has the practical skills required to perform the task of the occupation. Under ANZSCO, there is no requirement of 2 years of on-the-job training for Certificate IV qualifications. The particular circumstances of each application will be assessed and finally determined on a case-by-case basis by the delegate. When making their assessment, case officers must be mindful that the qualifications and experience of the applicant must be relevant to the tasks to be performed in the nominated occupation.

mmmfreecake Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hey guys, Ā My 187 visa was granted today! Just thought I'd share my timeline with you because it went very, very fast. Ā RCB applied: Oct 30 RCB approved: Nov 10 Nomination & Application submitted: Dec 2 Nomination approved: Feb 26 187 visa granted: Feb 27 Ā I guess I had all my documents in order, and also I'm from a low risk country so that probably helped. But it was just under 3 months from application to approval, so things are moving pretty quickly over there. Ā Hope that's helpful. Good luck everyone!

Ā thanks Hey mate, Ā In my opinion its better to submit all your documents before hand and medical done as well, as later on you have to do it then why not now. It saves some time as well in the process of asking additional documents. Upload all the forms and documents according to decision ready checklist. Hope it helps.

Ā thanks Ā I'm confused...I read in DIBP website that medicals should be done before lodging visa thru 'my health declaration" or if you have already lodge the visa, the website says you have to wait fr CO to request it. Ā Can we do medicals after lodgement but before being allocated to CO? if yes, then where can we get a referral letter with HAP ID? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā i actually asked my ma again that i want to get my medicals done .and she send me referral letter, i already made a appointment today for medicals. but you can do it yourself by logging into your immigration account and there is a option my health declaration form ,i think you can fill the form and it will print your hap id .Than you have to contact some medical clinic around you to make an appointment . Ā and i just lodged my file on 18th feb my MA hasnt told me anything that i have to wait for case officer to ask for my medical\ Ā but to be on safe side alwys check with your MA Edited February 27, 2015 by reet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
