Guest rhysse Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hi All, It's been a while, how is progress? Any updates? I know that someone else's application has been approved too, and mine as well! From lodge to approval it was 1 month - Day 1 submitted, Day 15 medicals done and additional info requested were sent immediately, Day 30 approval. Many well wishes to the rest, looking forward to this time where i can plan properly! Regards - rhysse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leonardodeluna Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hi! I am currently working in SA as a pipe fitter. I came here in 457 visa in May 2008. My employer has agreed to sponsor me, thus, I am now applying under RSMS 857. My questions are, Can I still use the IELTS i took in May 2008? How long is the visa processing? Thank you so much for your attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leonardodeluna Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 erratum: I took IELTS in September 2007. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sunilke Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hello, IELTS score is valid for 2 years. So you are okay with it. Under RSMS you need to show only functional level of english. For this IELTS is not necessary. You can prove it by other means. See Book let 5 for details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sunilke Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I was offshore.. You can get your visa endorsed in passort from the nearest Aussie Embassay... You need to submit only VISA grant letter and the passport... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rhysse Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 hi p, sunilke is correct, as i applied offshore too. in the grant letter that my CO sent to me via email and snail mail, it was stated to visit the Australia High Commission at my location to collect the visa. the exact instructions by the Commission was to bring along the grant letter plus passport(s) that i'm holding onto now.

Guest VIJ Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hi, all. I am new to this valuable forum and need urgent assistance in to apply RSMS-857 Visa, luckily i got employer in regional victoria and he is willing to sponsor me as a "Restaurant Manager" but also suspicious about my qualification assessment which has "Hotel/Motel Manager (ASCO-3323-11, degree level, 50 point) been assessed on the basis of previously done Bachelor Degree and work experience in home country before 1st Jan 2010. I have been in oz 2.5 year under 572 Student Visa in a hope of getting GSM visa after study but now we all knows, it's very far away. I did consult this matter with 2 RMA's but both gave me contradictory views, one said yes and other no. So, I decide to seek advise from migration forum on web and also did independent research through immigration website but still not having any good result in hand, I have couple of questions, which concerns my prospective employer and me: 1. Can employer seek exemption for mentioned issue of relevant or irrelevant qualification assessment? 2. Is my qualification ok for RSMS-857 ? (As i got "Diploma of Management + certificate III in Food Processing (Retail Baking-Combined) 3. Should find another employer of Hotel or Motel? (But not easy now day's....) 4. If all wouldn’t go well then, what other options for me to stay here? Because i love OZ and wanna be long here.......... Please help me out of this. "Gill's advice would be appreciated in advance..........." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
