@Andytomas I'm a little confused, you have already asked this exact same question, and I had also already answered it (a few times from memory).
- Has something else changed that you are bringing it up again? 

Yes you are right. I already asked it but sorry @Hex  I can’t find what you answer to me.

I thought nobody answer my question.

Can you please attached your answer?

thanks

Hi guys, I need help please.

What happen if during the sponsorship the business changed director without alerting Immigration? 

The business didn’t change nothing (ABN, ORGANISATION CHART, POSITION OF SPONSOR) only director from daughter to her mum. 

Thanks in advance

Hi guys, a quick question.....

what does mean “grandfathered”? 

Many people are talking about having applied under “grandfathered”.

can someone explain to me please?

thanks

Hi guys, if you read “almost “ everything, this document just said what the Liberal would love to change regarding Citizenship. After that, there is almost at the end of the document, the opinion that green have regarding the Liberal proposal. They are not agreeing and in sum they are saying that to wait 8 years will be too long and that Citizenships is a good way to make feel people from overseas INTEGRATED.

So it hasn’t been approved but it is only what Liberal would love to change. 

However, this Saturdaythere will be the election and 100% the Green will win, so no worries about the new Citizenship Liberal proposal !!!! 

Hey guys, 

what about if during the 2 years under sponsor, the company changed the director without saying nothing to the immigration? The company chart and my position has been the same, also ABN didn’t change. So everything is  like when I applied except for the director from daughter to her mum. It’s a family business.

I know that they should tell them within 28 days, but the company didn’t know it. 

What I can do? My MA said to leave like this because it’s not something that could cancel my visa because the business is the same. My MA said that maybe they can ask why the company didn’t report it to the immigration and at the point, he said (MA) we can send other documents that will proof that everything is the same as before that I applied.

what do you think?

Hey guys the Doha requested more information about the companies. Last 3 month of payslip and the org chart. I don't think it s good sign as I saw plenty of people getting their visa without docs requested. I didn't even got my nomination approved yet... and my immi account showing status "received" it haven't change yet. Should I be worried about it?

No mate. It doesn’t mean that is a good sign. Many people here have to the CO additional documents. 

Can you say what your job, when you applied and so on, please.

thanks

I would not be able to comment on if the loss of profit would be an issue, unfortunately, this would come down to the CO and the supporting details within the nomination. 

- I do however, think it's wise and advisable that your accountant wrote that letter.
Although some people may have a different opinion, I feel that, the more information - the better.
Just in case the CO does question it, the document supporting it, would be there, ready for them to read through. 

As for your PCC, as I say - this is entirely up to you. Worst case (regarding the PCC only), is that they ask for another and you have to wait 'x' weeks for them to respond after. 

Can the CO refuse an application due to the PCC expired?

@Andytomas mmmh, it might be worthwhile confirming this then - as I am not sure how long an Italian PCC lasts. (it's country specific) 

After a quick (30 sec) Google search I noticed thIs: https://www.wikiprocedure.com/index.php/Italy_-_Obtain_a_Police_Clearance_Certificate

So, it looks like it could even be only valid for 6 months  

Regardless, I'd confirm the length of validity and act accordingly. 

 

It makes sense, but there is nothing write on he document so they should google!

Anyway it is not a big problem, I’ll ask my MA what to do. I think that to wait another 1-2 months is better also because I will go on holiday in Italy so I’ll be able to do it by myself and send it through email to my MA. 

Anyway at the moment I’m focusing in another thing. immi is refusing a lot of applications because no much profit in the company. 2 years ago my company closed another and for them 2016 has been closed with a lot of loss. But the year after they closed  with some profit. So my MA contacted the Accountant of the company and said to write a letter explaining why there were no profit in 2016. In addition, the accountant wrote the plan how the company is handling it and what they are doing now and in the future to improve again the profit as the last 20 years. By the way, the business has been opened since 20 years more or less. 

Do you think it can be a problem about the 2016 loss?

Has been smart to write a letter by the accountant explaining why it happened?

@Andytomas The PCC is valid from the date stamped on it. 
- So, when it was created. 

You should be able to see this date by checking the document. It would be 12 months from that date. 

As for re-doing it. With your timeline, I would risk waiting 1-2 months after the 12 month window, then get it re-done. 
- It also depends on if you're willing to wait. Worst case, after 12 months the CO could ask for you to redo it, prolonging your case. If you don't want to risk that, then have it done sooner.

Thanks

Many people told me that the police check is for 1 year and there is write in the document “valid for one year”. 

However, I am from Italy and on our police check there is the date that has been done but there isn’t anything saying “valid only for one year”.

So, even if there isn’t anything say “valid only for one year” I should send a new one to the immigration? Or is it a one year valid only if the document report it? Or it’s an Australian law that all these kind of documents are valid only for one year? 

Thanks 

Hi guys, 

Normally police check is valid for 1 year, depending of the country, ok. But 1 year start from the day that we apply or from the day that the documents has been done?

I did my police check in November 2017 and I applied April 2018. 

Should I do it again and send to the immigration?

thanks

Hello everyone - just an update to keep you all up-to date with one of the hardest weeks of my life.

My PR has just been granted  Woah I cant even believe it and I'm literally shaking.

The decision to refuse nomination was overturned and my Visa was granted today

I will post again soon to explain the exact process and what went on since my nomination was refused - once I find the time to detail it all as was a complicated case.

Put it this way, my MA agent was unbelievable and I owe them so much.

Its crazy, I've went to feeling so down to so high in a matter of weeks.

I will post again soon detailing the whole timeline and what exactly happened....for now, I'm going to celebrate  

Well congratulations!

looking forward to see what happened.

Very rarely something like your story happen here!!!!

Wouldn't have been happy should it have been granted in February. It would have been 39 months, which is an odd number.
After 40 months (and 2 days), my wait is over.

As a thank-you to this forum I will try to spend some time on the re-design of the spreadsheet. More info will follow as soon as my brain cools down enough and I have some time to do some actual spreadsheet magic.

Stay strong!

40 months? Omg 

did you update the documents during this long period of time? 

Guys a have one million question:

why there are same application that takes 2 months to be approved and others that after 2 years are still waiting? Sometimes we are talking about the same position but for instance different companies. 

I have ave my personal idea but tell me if I’m wrong and if someone else has a different opinion, please.

I think that it depends of the Migration Agency. If the MA is a famous, important and well known the application can be easily approved in a very short time. But, if the MA is not important and so on the application could take up to 2 years.

What do you think? Am I right? 

Thanks in advance

@Andytomas It could help, however, It's down to the nomination details within the application. 

Once the nomination is approved, it's generally quick turnarounds (30-40 days). 

Before anything, you would need the company nomination approved, I'm assuming they have sponsored others before? 

Yes, they sponsored someone before ma long time ago and also another two people after me. Can this help?

“It’s down to the nomination details within the application”.  What does it mean? Sorry

thanks

This isn't the case for all Hairdresser applicants, I've got a friend who worked for Tony & Guy a big firm who had their 186 come through at a decent time.

But I've also seen a few cases on here, where people were waiting nearly 2 years. 

I believe there is a few factors; 

• Size of the business, have they sponsored someone before. Small businesses with low revenue / staff generally get looked at in greater detail. A lot of Hairdressers I assume work for smaller salons. 
• Hair Dresser is a ANZCO Level 3 Skill Job, and so the qualifications required to meet the Skill level e.g. a AQF Certificate / equivalent, which is available at college level may come from a bogus institute (more common than you think). Not to mention there is many variations of AQF Certificates, depending on which country you obtained the certification in.  In comparison to a ANZCO Level 1 - where you need a Bachelor Degree, and so the Institute is generally more well known / more clear cut. Thus, further investigation into the college / qualifications might be necessary, especially if from a HR country. 

Many other factors come into play also, but these are two that stand out for me. 

As you are TRT, and so have already had your 457 approved, this should help, as they've already approved you for that role, rather than a DE applicant.

Thank you so much for your explanation.

Yes, I come from a 457, so they already looked all the documents before they approved my sponsorship. In addition, the business where I’m working, it’s not very big, but it has been opened since 20 years already. So, this should help immigration to understand that is a solid business. 

Am I right?

The Department is still getting through the bulk of March applicants.

Haven't seen too many April applications be processed as of yet. But in your case, as a Hair Dresser, you might have to wait a little longer, as this occupation is often scrutinized more than others. 

Why Hairdressers are scrutinised more than others? 

Do you know? I’m new in this forum! 

Many thanks

Hi guys, 

I applied in April 2018 as Hairdresser and still nothing from Immigration .

Its so frustrating to wait. 

Many people that applied after me already received their PR or anyway “news” from Immi...... why not me?

How much cost to do an appeal once the nomination has been refused? 

How long the appeal will take to be opened?

Thanks

@Andytomas

That is not accurate - CO's will (should) only request a police check on 2 cases:
1. There isn't a police clearance provided on the application. 
2. The police clearance provided has expired and they need it renewed. 

The department will look at all aspects of the application / applicant, including your super / tax details. 

How long the Police check is valid?

So guys, from what I can see many CO are asking police check, and it doesn’t matter when has been done it, they are asking even if it has been done less than 8 months.

am I correct? 

Another question: anyone knows if the immi now is connected with ATO? I heard that they are looking for SUPERANNUATION paid by employees.

Hi Guys,

Is there anybody or do you know anybody with (removed occupation) after last year changes and get visa within the processing time? 

I’m in your same situation. 

I’m an Hairdresser and my job has been removed. 

Anyway I applied April 2018 and still nothing.
