Bishal911 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 8 hours ago, DD in Oz said: Hi Bishal911, I just received my visa grant on 12 Dec 2018. There are NIL conditions attached but if you are asking about the 2 years period, I believe it starts after the visa grant. I asked my MA about it and this is his reply: Thank you for your email. The visa comes with nil conditions. However, section 137Q of the Migration Act specifies that subclass 187 visa holders can have their visas cancelled if they don't make a genuine effort to remain with the employer for two years from the date of visa grant. The onus is on the employer to report any changes to the Department of Home Affairs. Each situation is analysed on a case by case basis. If the employer is willing to change your employment conditions then you may not be at risk of being reported to the Department. In any case, you would always have a right to show that you have tried to make a genuine effort. Hope this helps.

Something like this perhaps? However, please note that every case is unique and submitted differently. (Some submit RCB, Nomination and Visa application together whilst others submit separately.) All of us end up with different processing time due to documents, LR/HR country, etc. This serves as a guideline only but at least it gives us an idea of the different timeline in the various stages. The 21-22 months refer to the total time taken from the start of application to visa grant. Hope this helps. All the best! Yes, i think this is the one i saw long time ago, that’s why i have this question Also, can u let me know what is LR/HR country means? I did try to google it but couldn’t find any information and no one tell me about this. thanks and best wishes for all of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, the rule of thumb is - If your passport is ETA eligible (application for electronic visa), your country is considered Low Risk. Andorra Austria Belgium Brunei Canada Denmark Finland France Germany Greece Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) Iceland Ireland Italy Japan Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malaysia Malta Metropolitan Monaco Norway Portugal San Marino Singapore South Korea Spain Sweden Switzerland Taiwan The Caribbean The Netherlands United Kingdom (UK) United States of America (USA) Vatican City Hope this helps!

Cupidmi Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hi everyone, I have a question about overtime rate. Im a fulltime chef and applied 187, I always work overtime. I have got paid as normal rate. Is it legal? Will it effect the visa? E.g., my contract is 40hours, I work 45hours then I have got paid 40+5, not 40+5*1.5. I also know some friends who work in the kitchen but they didn't get any overtime paid. But my agent says I should get 1.5 or 2 times rate according to the law. Anyone has same problem?

cavas85 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 On 22/12/2018 at 12:28, DD in Oz said: Hi MilaMocha, I believe the 2 year period starts from the date of visa grant, and not 2 years full time work for the nominated business (while we are on Bridging visa). I started working full time for my employer (when I applied for 187 visa) in Jan 2018. I recently received my 187 visa grant on 12 Dec 2018 and despite working for the employer for the last 11 months, it is not taken into account for the 2 years period. I have spoken to my MA about this and he has advised me that the 2 years start only after the visa grant. For those of us who have received our 187 visas, I think it is a wiser decision to fulfil the 2 years period after the visa grant just in case. However, if you encounter a difficult or unique situation, do speak to a professional to consider your options. This is the reply from my MA: Thank you for your email. The visa comes with nil conditions. However, section 137Q of the Migration Act specifies that subclass 187 visa holders can have their visas cancelled if they don't make a genuine effort to remain with the employer for two years from the date of visa grant. The onus is on the employer to report any changes to the Department of Home Affairs. Each situation is analysed on a case by case basis. If the employer is willing to change your employment conditions then you may not be at risk of being reported to the Department. In any case, you would always have a right to show that you have tried to make a genuine effort. I hope this helps. To fellow 187 applicants who are still waiting for your visa, stay positive and happy! Do not let this consume you. Enjoy the lovely sights of beautiful Australia! Wishing everyone an awesome 2019! This is what i found: There is no mention of "visa grant" 12 Where the visa holder commenced the employment referred to in the relevant employer nomination (whether or not within the prescribed period), the person’s regional sponsored employment visa may be cancelled under new subsection 137Q(2). The Minister may only cancel a person’s visa under new subsection 137Q(2) if: the Minister is satisfied that: the person commenced the employment referred to in the relevant employer nomination; and the employment terminated within the required employment period of 2 years starting on the day the person commenced that employment; and the person does not satisfy the Minister that he or she has made a genuine effort to be engaged in that employment for the required employment period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi cavas85, This may be good news if there is no mention of "visa grant" for the 2 years period! I guess, ultimately.. "To each their own".. we make our own decisions and I will follow the 2 years from visa grant just to err on the side of caution. I wish everyone all the best! Happy 2019!
