AAT Won for 187


zijse

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, on the 6th of April I received the notification of nomination refusal for a visa 187. My employer decided to appeal for merits review to the AAT. 

My question is: while filling the appeal application form online, which option should he choose for the point "Select the decision to be reviewed"?

1) visa refusal

2) business sponsor approval refusal or variation

3 refusal of nominated activity or position

Thank you!

My occupation is bar manager, under the Restaurant and Cafe Manager ANZSCO code. The nomination was refused because the restaurant I work at has already a sponsored restaurant manager, and the immigration officer stated that " there can only be one manager responsible for the overall operation". However, this statement is not correct as me and the restaurant manager have different roles and we work indipendently.

On the 6th of April my employer received the refusal letter. From that moment he has 21 days to appeal. 

Can anyone help me with my question? THanks!

If your employer does not know then your employer would be best advised to employ an agent!

I have applied for 187 visas on August 04 and my employer apply for nomination and RCB in the same time but on December 18 my nomination got refused without asking any further documents and I got 21 days for nomination review and 28 days to comment for my visa. My employer is going to apply for AAT for the nomination before the end of 21 days. Moreover, I am going to wait till my visa get refuse and will apply to AAT for my visa as well. I just want to know if we apply to AAT for both of our nomination and visa will this keep my bridging visa active until I get the decision from AAT for the nomination. Please advise me if anyone goes through this process and let me know what will be a waiting period before I get the first hearing.

I am in the same situation. We received the news of the refusal on the 19th of December. Not very nice just before Christmas with so many offices closed for 2 weeks during the festivities. What are the nominated occupation and the reason for refusal? I am a retail manager and the reason for the refusal states in short that I am not a manager but only a supervisor as the employer works within the business (not true). I just wonder if, when appeal supporting strong evidence that the case officer made a mistake, we can have a positive decision without the hearing.

Regarding your visa status, it's my understanding that you can appeal only when your visa gets refused. On the letter of my bridging visa it states:

If your Regional Employer Nomination (subclass 187) visa application is refused and you

apply for a merits review of that decision within the required timeframe, this bridging visa will

allow you to remain in Australia until 28 calendar days after you are notified of the merits

review outcome by the merits review tribunal.

If the merits review tribunal remits your application to the department for reconsideration, this

bridging visa will allow you to remain lawfully in Australia until 28 calendar days after you are

notified by the department of the decision on your Regional Employer Nomination (subclass

187) visa application.

 

So I deduct we will remain on our bridging visa if we appeal to the tribunal after the official refusal of our visa application.

Hey Dalla, I don’t about you but I am so stressed in these days. I asked my employers to pay the nomination part of the appeal and, although they were not happy about it especially after I basically told them they owe me so, they have agreed to do so.
How about you? Are you paying for it?
Also I have been reasearching and reading a lot in these past days and it seems that, if the matter is not resolved with the first conference (6/10 weeks), the hearing will probably be in 12/18 months maybe more considering the amount of applications they have been receiving.
I know a person that he applied for the appeal last october so I will keep updated on what the process.

Thanks for your reply, Yes my employer is going to apply for AAT on 5th of January and I got 28 days to comment for my visa, I will get my visa refusal at the end of 28 days with another 21 days for appeal to AAT. I am going to apply AAT for my visa as well. In my case i really need to buy some time because currently I am doing professional year and i will be finish that on 24th of June. Once I finished that i will be able to apply for 189 visa with 65 points under ICT Security specialist. Therefore we are going to apply to AAT for both nomination and visa refusal then that will keep my bridging visa active for next 6 months. I will keep update you guys.

Hi Gav, so shitty of the Immigration department refusing a nomination just a couple of days before Christmas holidays... the same happened to me.

As per the appeal, first of all you should consult a professional. Second, try to find out if the financials of the company are in a good state (loss or profit) otherwise I don’t think you will have much chance of winning an appeal if the company does not prove to be financially viable.

Hi ,

i got the 187 refusal just passed the new year. I'm applying for chemical technician role. The reason my agent told me is the company doesn't show enough efforts to find someone. However I'm been working with them and they want to nominat me to work in the factory. I wonder why is the reason of this ? I am with working holiday visa now and it's going to be expire in 3 months. Any advice?

Need one clarification once we apply for the AAT for both nomination and visa refusal what waiting period apply for us ?  According to the AAT web, nomination refusal waiting period average is 424 days and bridging visa average is 21 days therefore I just want to know AAT for the visa will remain hold until the decision for the AAT nomination?

Mine got refused as well. Retail Manager, NT, LR Country, everything lodged Jan 2017

Reasons given are word for word the same Cippalippa

The big boss wants to appeal it as there are genuine mitigating circumstances which weren't considered and i few that we didn't supply evidence on to be fair, BUT i don't know if i can be arsed waiting another year for a yes or no only to have to stick it out another year or 2 to fulfill the visa obligations IF it is approved.

The new hot thread here will be AAT timeline for 187 visa refusal from the looks of it.

Its particularly unfortunate getting this notice just after Christmas as i have lots of stuff to sell and not long to do it. Might appeal, settle my affairs and then withdraw and go back to Cambodia where its much easier.

Maybe they will be satisfied by the fact that you manage a lot of people. But if they really don’t want to give pr’s to retail managers they can always find another excuse. I hope it is not going to be your case.

Hi All, 

I also have same condition busniess nomination refused. I applied as Retail Manager from Solar business. 

I received refusal in Dec and applied AAT review. 

I have all proof and evidence to support my view but for safe side. Im palning to apply new nomination from different business as retail manager. 

But someone said it will effect my AAT case. So, Im confused is good idea to apply new nomaination from new business  or just wait for open AAT file. 

How long AAT take to open case file?
