The Australian government are increasing their Immigration application fees to keep up with inflation (forecasted Consumer Price Index) as of the 1st of July 2017.

To find out what the new fees will be for any applications you are yet to submit, on or after the 1st of July, download the official fact sheet from the Australian government here:

https://www.border.gov.au/ReportsandPublications/Documents/budget/visa-price-increase-fact-sheet-2017-18.pdf

You will find the new fees that apply to all applications including new visas, such as the new Temporary Sponsored Parent Visa (coming into effect in November 2017), and the 457 visa replacement (TSS visa coming into effect in March 2018).

If you require professional assistance with preparing your visa application or sponsorship/nomination application/s, please email us at solutions@VisaOne.com.au.

If you are applying for any visa that requires an employment reference of your current and/or previous employment history, then providing accurate information in your employment reference is critical when your application is being considered and decided by an immigration officer.

The biggest mistake you can make when providing a work reference is providing one that may be detrimental to your visa application unknowingly. It can be detrimental when your employment reference has conflicting information, inaccurate data, or misleading claims within it.

So if there is one rule I recommend that you apply, when requesting for a employment reference from a past or current employer, it is to "keep it simple".

The other recommendation I have is to be as detailed and accurate as possible. The most valuable resource I use in my profession, when helping clients with their employment references, is the ANZSCO dictionary. This is a dictionary of occupations that provide comprehensive information that provide detailed definitions of occupations that the Department of Immigration refer to when assessing visa applications.

To explore the definition of your occupation, you can search for your occupation on this following link: https://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/1220.0Search02013,%20Version%201.2

You can then use the ANZSCO definition of your occupation as a guide to make sure that your employment reference includes specific details that will help your immigration accurately assess your employment history.

I have created the ultimate employment reference template that you can use as a basic template to send your previous employers when requesting for a work reference. You will find this template simple to use and easy to populate with data that is required by the Department of Immigration. You can download the template here.

Please note that an employment reference is only one form of evidence to substantiate your employment history claims. So keep in mind, that you may be required to provide other forms of evidence to the Department of Immigration, especially when your credentials are not perfectly aligned to a nominated occupation for your visa.

If you require professional assistance with preparing your visa application or sponsorship/nomination, please email us at solutions@VisaOne.com.au.

If you have an urgent case matter which requires immediate assistance, please call us on 1300 61 99 77 (or +61 7 3181 5588).

*Legal Disclaimer: Please note that this article is for general information only. Always seek professional legal advice in regards to your situation as every situation is different. Immigration legislation changes regularly and thus always, get up-to-date advice on your situation. Lodging a visa application is a judicial process and is based on the quality of legal advice and legal representation you receive. It is illegal for any Migration Agent or Lawyer to guarantee 100% of a positive result as it is a judicial process.

Every day I receive at least 2 enquiries from 457 visa holders who ask for help with applying for PR, because they have worked on a 457 visa for 2 years, and now want to claim their PR status, without their employer.

This myth has now evolved into 3 years, from the new announcement from the Prime Minister that start from March 2018, 457 visa holders who wish to apply for permanent residency down the track will have to work for 3 years in order to be eligible under the Temporary Residence Transition stream under the Permanent 186 and 187 visa subclasses.

So is this true?

Can you work for 2 years on a 457 visa and then just apply for PR at the end of it, with your employer?

The answer is no.

Working on a 457 visa for 2 years, makes you eligible to apply for the Permanent 186 or 187 visa subclasses, via the Temporary Residence Transitional stream. This means that your employer must still sponsor you for your permanent residency.

So the best approach is to have early talks with your employer (I suggest after working for 18 months on your 457 with the same employer) so that you can start to plan your Permanent Residency in advance. You can then start preparing for your application 3 months before your 2 year anniversary, so that when the 2 year mark passes, you can immediately apply for your 186 or 187 via the Temporary Residence Transitional stream.

For some lucky applicants, you do not have to work for 2 years on you 457 visa in order to apply for PR. There is another stream under the 186 and 187 called the Direct Entry stream. This stream allows you to apply for PR at any time (even before 2 years of working on a 457 visa) as long as you can get a (i) positive skills assessment, (ii) IELTS of all 6’s, and (iii) work references showing at least 3 years of full-time paid employment experience in your occupation (from any employer, in any country, as long as the work was done after you completed your formal qualifications).

If you require professional assistance with preparing your case, please email us at solutions@VisaOne.com.au.

If you have an urgent case matter which requires immediate assistance, please call us on 1300 61 99 77 (or +61 7 3181 5588).

Changes of ownership for a business or changes to a business' structure due to acquisitions and mergers are common. This can result in new accounting structures, trading name changes and new Australian business numbers as a consequence to the change/s.

So what do you do if you have an existing 457 Business Sponsorship, or a 457 visa?

Below are some action points to follow if you are an employer or a 457 Visa holder.

If you require professional assistance with preparing a new 457 Sponsorship and/or a new 457 Nomination due to any changes of ownership or business structure, please email us at solutions@VisaOne.com.au.

If you have an urgent case matter which requires immediate assistance, please call us on 1300 61 99 77 (or +61 7 3181 5588).

*Legal Disclaimer: Please note that this article is for general information only. Always seek professional legal advice in regards to your situation as every situation is different. Immigration legislation changes regularly and thus always, get up-to-date advice on your situation. Lodging a visa application is a judicial process and is based on the quality of legal advice and legal representation you receive. It is illegal for any Migration Agent or Lawyer to guarantee 100% of a positive result as it is a judicial process.

If you are already on an employer sponsored visa (such as a 457 visa) or are intending to apply for one, then further changes are coming this 1st of July to the Permanent Employer Sponsored visa subclasses (subclass 186 and 187) that you need to be aware of.

Please carefully read the following changes that will be coming into effect in couple of weeks time (on the 1st of July 2017):

If you require professional assistance with preparing a permanent employer sponsored case, please email us at solutions@VisaOne.com.au.

If you have an urgent case matter which requires immediate assistance, please call us on 1300 61 99 77 (or +61 7 3181 5588).

Getting a positive result for your application isn't always going to happen the first time around. Refusals can occur if you make simple mistakes in your application form, and fail to provide sufficient data or evidence to support any claims.

Mistakes can also be made from the government's end if a decision maker mis-interprets your information or does not consider submitted data by mistake. Human error is common and hence there is an appeal process through the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (Migration Review Tribunal).

The fee to submit a review (appeal) of a decision from the Department of Immigration to the AAT MRT is $1673, however starting the 1st of July, that fee will increase to $1731. So if you are able to get your application in before the 1st of July 2017, then you will save some money.

The refund fee will also be increased for applications lodged on or after the 1st of July 2017 to $865.50 for all successful applications at the AAT MRT, which is 50% of the original AAT MRT fee.

For more information about the review appeals to the AAT MRT, or if you require professional assistance with preparing an AAT MRT case, please email us at solutions@VisaOne.com.au.

If you have an urgent case matter which requires immediate assistance, please call us on 1300 61 99 77 (or +61 7 3181 5588).

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]With all the recent news of occupation list changes, the abolished 457 and limited routes to permanent residency, there still remains a migration program for skilled professionals and vocational trades to obtain permanent residency.

That is the Regional Sponosored Migration Scheme (RSMS Subclass 187).

This visa subclass, by and large, and remained unchanged amidst all the recent significant changes to work sponsored visas. The main instrument that underpins the RSMS is a hidden occupation list which is a comprehensive list of occupations available for sponsorship in regionally classified areas (low population areas).

On the government's official immigration website, it simply states that occupations with a skill level of 1-3 is acceptable for the purposes of the RSMS.

So what occupations fall within these skill levels, do you ask?

Well here is the full list:[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme is a program designed to attract international talent to low-population areas which have been labelled as “regional”. The truth is, there are a lot of “regional” classified areas that are not remote and are in fact within or close to major business centers and major cities.

Below are the regionally classified suburbs on the Gold Coast, which businesses can sponsor international talent under the RSMS (Subclass 187) visa program, to meet unfilled vacancies, and which applicants can consider when looking for a job with an Australian employer.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/6"][vc_column_text]Advancetown

To find out more about the occupation list changes, please read our article here.

The next set of changes are scheduled to occur on the 1st of July, and later at the end of the year in December. To prepare for the upcoming 1 July changes, please carefully read the following changes that will be coming into effect in a few weeks time:
