Will they give transition period for people who are already here in Australia when they implement the above 35 age rule for 485? It’s devastating to see that we spent hefty amounts to gain so called quality education and have to go back gaining nothing. It’s so inhuman. We would never apply for MBA if we knew the government will not allow post study work visa for people above 35.

I'm not an AILS customer, because I found out about you a bit too late and I had already started the process with another agent (back to 3 years ago). However, I've watched almost all of your videos and I'll keep doing it. Your job with this channel is simply priceless. You've given me so many insights and heads-up in time, I've lost count. You have no idea how much your videos have helped me hold on during the long and often nerve-racking process.

@Bm24567 4 месяца назад

It’s worth noting that when submitting your application for JRE, you also need to attach an employment verification report. The EVR asks you to report on your work duties and employer for them to approve as relevant to your occupation. Meaning, there’s a scenario in which it can take 7 months for them to look at your application, and then decide that your employment is not valid and the previous 7 months you’ve worked counted for nothing.

@ailsaustralia 4 месяца назад

Valid point indeed, thanks for your insight

@ChamilVimukthiMadusanka89 4 месяца назад

Hi Karl according to this new administration report published by home affairs “Reducing the maximum age limit to 35 years old inclusive (previously 50 years old)” means students who below 36 years old can apply right ? With the word “inclusive “ I believe it clarifies the upper limit of age. It says previously it was 50 which means below 50 and now it’s 35 inclusive. What do you think Karl?

@ailsaustralia 4 месяца назад

Looks like have to be under 35 but we will see

@ChamilVimukthiMadusanka89 4 месяца назад

@@ailsaustralia is there any way to clarify this ? Can we ask from Home Affairs for clarification regarding this inclusive means below 36 ? Because if we check their other visas like subclass 462 work and holiday visa it says be 18-30 years old (inclusive) and they further explained “If you apply for the visa while you are 30, but turn 31 before we have made a decision, we can still grant you the visa if you meet all other requirements” which means anyone below 31 eligible when the term “inclusive” applies. I think in this case if they say 35 years old inclusive means same scenario should apply but i think we need confirmation from them.

With this new administration report department has clarified this and few other things including hong kong and British passport holders tgv duration as well. So we can expect more clarity on this very soon. But unfortunately nothing mentioned regarding the current students 😢

Hi karl, Thanks for updating. The denial of 485 visas to students over the age of 35 who are already studying in Australia is heartbreaking. We came here because we agreed with the existing laws. International experience is a way to find a good job in our country. Do you think they will give the current student a transition period or applying grandfathering law for this age cap?

@minervali631 4 месяца назад

I think we should stop saying this international experience thing. The international study business has always been pretty clear, international students pay astronomically high fees for a few years in exchange of the post graduate work visa, which will give them a chance of employment and then eventually migration if one is competent and lucky. This is the reason many many people are willing to accept the high fees. It's basically fees for work visa. Now they are rescinding on their end of the promise. Most people aren't paying the fees for Australia's "world class" education, because the education quality is simply very average. People are paying to get the post graduate work visa.

@estellebright2579 4 месяца назад

@@minervali631 you just view this issue from a different perspective than international students. Australia's education is not world-class compared to some of the US universities but still quite high on the rank, but it's the students who will find ways to take advantage of the resources they had during their study, from access to expensive programs on cheap price or free to meeting all kinds of people from around the world to liaising with professors, tutors and so on, eventually passing exams and enjoying the university experience. If someone really wants to obtain overseas work experience, they can just choose the cheaper pathway of 482/494/186DE. Heck, even 407 training visa is a good alternative, and the cost is low as well. It seems counterintuitive to obtain 485 visa by spending very expensive international student course fees and several years just to be eligible for that vaunted 485.

I have Nepalese friends who are looking at emigrating to Australia or NZ and they recommended your channel, mainly to show me just how very complicated and confusing the process is and what would-be immigrant workers and students have to go through in order to achieve a better life for themselves and their future families. When I see what immigrants and refugees around the world are currently going through it makes me really sad. Especially when I know that the vast majority of people now living in Australia and NZ (including my ancestors) are only here because their families in the past were successful immigrants or were given refuge in a time of need.

My course started this week and if the decison maker takes any more time, I might have to defer another semester resulting in me losing 2 years. Furthermore, I showed about 70,000 AUD in my finances indicating that I have sufficient funds to live about 2 years in Australia.

Advise for future students " apply in regional uni which will help you securing both PR and Job" such as CDU if you study there, it's almost 100% gurenteed you would get PR if you study in PR listed courses.

@@saiprasad4952 present situation is really good. I'm not any agent or lawyer. I did my masters in accounting from regional uni in Darwin and after two years i got PR. Except 3 big cities rest of them are regional but i would say job market is slowing down so be careful in future they might exclude some big cities from regional list. Do some research about the pre-covid-19 time which will guide you choosing regional area which would unlikely be excluded in future.

Hi Karl, considering reduced invites for General skilled migration. What would be future of processing time for 190 and 189 visas? Waiting from 10 months

Generally the waiting time is between 10 and 12 months. But if your case is complex and DOHA needing to check with other department or overseas post, your processing time can take a lot longer.

Since we applied for the 188 visa, they have changed the time for reviewing this visa on the website of the Immigration Department several times. One day, this visa was supposed to be issued for eighteen months, but today the time for reviewing this visa has been announced as 43 months, and it will definitely change again with this process. did It may even be 50 months or 60 months or more. We all know that no country treats visa applicants this unfairly. We have been invited under Australian immigration laws, this is not fair treatment. Please be our voice.

While submitting the documents for nomination approval will it cause any problem due to my LOA period as I have my payslips with zero credit. Offshore total experience I have is 9 years 6 months. People are saying as the points are getting reduced the invite will be rejected either at nomination or at DOHA. Could you please assist here. Thanks in advance

@georgesharonr 3 месяца назад

If you don't disclose it, your visa will not doubt be forfeited later on. Better to disclose it now than be sorry later. I had known a friend in similar circumstances and he kept quiet and applied but DHA will ask for each and every evidence and scrutinize every day of how you spent your life after your birth. His visa was ultimately denied and got a 5 year ban as well.

In Dec last year i.e. 2023, the timelines were showing that 90% of the applications had been completed for the people who applied in Oct 2022, and now again it changed and shows me an extended timeline of 18 months. I am now losing my head as to why the department has been delaying it again and again or is it due to some system error my file is not getting picked up and mind me second case is very terrifying. Please help

@estellebright2579 4 месяца назад

last time during the senate hearing DOHA basically admitted they process recent applications first before going back to deal with the backlog. My guess is DOHA probably didn't pick up your visa and put it into a queue for processing last year, and they might have forgotten about it. My experience for my 190, submitted on 12 Mar 2023, was picked up by DOHA on 05 Dec 2023 and received the grant letter on 13 Feb 2024. I knew they picked mine up because they sent "IMMI Assessment commence" email after calling my phone to confirm if I wanted to proceed or not. I don't know if your visa was handled by an agent or you submitted it yourself (meaning no form 956). I suggest you take measures to follow up, or contact DOHA for processing enquiries. At least let them know you are still waiting.

@Professional_Advisor 4 месяца назад

I can feel the substantial compliance of 491 conditions (8578, 8579, 8580, 8581) are going to be a bit time-consuming to check when more and more people are submitting their 191 after holding 491 for 3 years and able to produce 3 years of ATO income tax notices.

Hi Karl, Just to bring to your attention that in Pakistan, the student visa rejection rate is around 77% due to political instability. And, students like me with their education from highly reputed institutions and stable financial background are also in confusion about their applications.

@estellebright2579 4 месяца назад

GST is just a rebranded GTE for the most part I'd argue, with one notable change that student can clearly state their intention to migrate without being penalised. The onus is still on s65 delegates (aka case officers) to apply their training and skills to filter out non-genuine students. What's more impactful is the possible change of subclass 500 criteria. Will they add 485 as a visa that the applicant cannot hold as the last substantive visa to be eligible for onshore student visa grant? Will they limit how many student visas one can be granted while onshore? Still a bit of unknown.

I can see most of the imogration into Australia, will start coming from UK and the European again as trade people are at a high level compared to alot of countries, also Students who have done there Masters in the UK and Europe will be more likely to get a PHD offer in Australia as they are more likely to get a visa.
