Avvy Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hi Blossom, yep I'm actually with my job 3 years and 1 month, since January 2010, and am on 457 with them since January 2011. My friend is on a 457 with her job since July 2011, and was told that it was not a senior enough position- so the MA has recommended she re-apply direct entry in July after she has been two years in the job with a 457. I thought it was very strange that they would turn down the RSMS nomination, considering she was approved for the same occupation, same job description etc for her 457 in 2011. She is a project administrator, no qualifications, but plenty of work experience, and works in an engineering company. I have the same job title, but my role takes me beyond that also into project accounting and budgeting for a mining company, but this work falls under the scope of a project administrator's job description, depending on their level and the structure of the project team. I have a Bachelors in Journalism, an Advanced Diploma in Business/ Project Management, and am studying a Masters in Applied Finance, with a major in project finance. I don't know, just the abruptness of her refusal, and the fact she has been on 457 already has me a little spooked!! So my question was, considering in January of this year I have been working with the company on a 457 for 2 years and altogether including other visas, 3 years, would they automatically change my status to direct entry application?

blossom Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Sorry I don't know about that. I'm guessing you will need an agent for that one. It is very odd that they will give one visa for that job but not another. They have been clamping down on the rsms visa, but that seems madness. Touch wood your application will go through with the extra responsibilities and qualifications. I don't envy you, I could not rest until the visa was granted, but when it is granted you will feel amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my question was, considering in January of this year I have been working with the company on a 457 for 2 years and altogether including other visas, 3 years, would they automatically change my status to direct entry application? Direct entry is for the people who don't have much employment history in Australia, for example new graduates. I don't think it applies to a long-term employee like you. DIAC has different criterias for a temp work visa and perm residency which is more rigorous. You have a long working relationship with your current employer and are from anglo country, you'll be fine. It's only a matter of time for you.

No, the direct entry which she is talking about is a new way bought in last year where if you had been working for an employer for two years on a 457 you can skip the skills assessment. I'm not sure if this will be any more likely to work for her friend as she didn't need the skills assessment for the rsms visa either. But worth a go.

Ryan Wang Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 IMMI should send email to your employer, or I think you can send email to CO to confirm it as your employer awayNormally CO will ask you to provide Medical and AFP after nomination approved, so you should be fine. I just thought people will get visa soon once all documents provided and nomination approved, it is seems I am wrong hi fgyyy, Do you have skill of assessment? and are you working in a big accounting company???

Longhorn Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hi all, I have been reading this thread since early last year and you guys have been tremendously helpful with all of your shared advices, experiences and tips. So, thanks a bunch! However, as I got my RSMS 857 visa approved last Friday, finally I have decided to post my experience and timeline. I turned in my nomination in mid February last year, got it approved in March and submitted the nomination in mid-April, non-DRC, high risk. My visa application was submitted in mid June and got a prompt acknowledgement in the following week. I sent a status request email to DIAC in last November and was given a name and email of my case officer. Asked him for an update but no reply. Last Friday morning, I got an email from my CO saying he had requested some documents from my employer in August and still waiting to receive 'em. If I could not get them send the documents by 5 pm, my application might be subject to cancellation. I got super paranoid as you can imagine and chased up the person responsible for this mishap. Finally everything was sent by Friday afternoon and I got the grant notification at around 6 pm. The day started as possibly one of the worst days of my life, turned out to be a very celebrative one!!! Thanks God!! My exact timeline goes as follows, RCB nomination submission: 24/2/2012 RCB nomination approved : 14/3/2012 857 Nomination subbmitted: 13/4/2012 857 Visa application submitted: 14/06/2012 CO assigned: Sometime in August maybe. Visa granted: 15/02/2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
