Deep Sandhu Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hey Ryan two year work experience has to be paid or volunteer and paid both are counted yes it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Have a look back for the link. I think it was mid may. And last I heard immigration were refusing volunteer work unless it was for a registered charity as so many employers were taking advantage of people who needed the work experience for visas.

ginz Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 that is my agents words... How do you know this ginz? That DIAC has reached the quota of 16,000 visas for RSMS and are now granting visas from the ENS quota? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrbrt372 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 You can send an email to the processing centre about your situation and the least they can do is issue you a bridging visa whilst your application is pending. its going to be a year next week, hasn't heard anything from immi. they haven't even approved my nomination. my employer personally wrote an email to immi yesterday to do something about it as my current visa is expiring in the end of june. i have kinda given up but my employer making every possible effort to get some good news. already booked my ticked to go, however, waiting for a miracle to take place.

Deep Sandhu Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Yea I had already checked that link its some dlegal website which is not DIAC's website and they also referred to check on comm law website which has got no information aswell so i don't know from where they got this info.

hopeless Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 deep sandhu. i understand ur concern.i went to see migration agent yesterday and he printed the whole new policy for me which states that for example cert 3,4 and diploma of hospitality will require 2 years full time work experience is sponsored as cook.i know it is totally unfair as if pplz hv 2 years experience they wd go for ens not for rsms as they wd hv to move to regional areas...... and typical Australian 485 graduate only have 1.5 year to gain experience.so at this stage u might be asked for experience. tc 22g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blossom Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) Yea I had already checked that link its some dlegal website which is not DIAC's website and they also referred to check on comm law website which has got no information aswell so i don't know from where they got this info. The comm law website will have information on it (as it is the actual laws), it is just a case of trawling through the migration act to find it. Thankfully the link which hopeless has provided from their migration agent tells you the exact section in the law to find it. The comm law web site is pretty hard to follow often, being all legal jargon, which is why the agents sum it up rather than just providing a link.

I would hope they would take the 900 hours into consideration as it used to be enough for a positive skills assessment on its own! You were only one month short, so fingers crossed you will be ok. It might be worth consulting an agent as to if you would be better off holding out or just reapplying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Sandhu Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 My ma is helpless said can't do anything about it coz RCB is independent body so i rang DIAC and they gave one fax no. Telling ask my manager to fax your concern and DIAC will get back soon to employer it's been like more than two weeks since we faxed the concern but still heard nothing..is there anything tha can be done to chase (-ve)reason Your migration agent should have been on this.

blossom Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Even excluding the rcb thing, your agent should have known about the change in work experience requirement, it is his job to keep up to date on all the laws, and stopped you applying. I am still really surprised that they didn't give you a reason. What did your agent suggest doing to try to pass it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Sandhu Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I was told it all depend on co i still applied decision ready because it was told by diac that still my workplace will get one chance to clear/prove if in case co needs more documents but anyhow i m still trying my best to chase the reason of -ve outcome if anyone out there can help me with what else can be done please reply,will be much appreciated.Thanx Even excluding the rcb thing, your agent should have known about the change in work experien" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Move2 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 No they have actually ran out off visa's,,they have actually crossed the limit,,,and for now the visa they r issuing are from ENS quota....
