Australian Immigration News 25th of May. Invitation rounds and Planning levels, how do they work? 

But his voice is so odd! 😂

Or may be this AI is very realistic 🤣

Thanks, much appreciated!

Yes Im a mix of german, Swedish and Australian blood so that probably explains it!

@@anuragmanchanda Yes, his tone sounds AI-like but his dry humor is definitely human... I think. 🤔

When did you lodged your application?

Did you apply yourself?

Happy to hear that and thanks for your continued support Shanlu

My pleasure!

Hope I live long enoough to see that! Thanks for the support

Thank you so much 😀

Thanks Mumtaz!

No worries, lets see if we can bring better news soon

Most welcome!

You have hit the nail on the head!

Actually they are trying to break it down 😅

@@ExploreHub_Vibes to a group of people who, instead of putting out the fire of a burning house (broken migration system), hire architects, engineers and builders to discuss what to do next while letting the house burn down, I'm not surprised too much.

​@estellebright2579 Mate, they know what they are doing , its all a real estate ponzi , they are negative gearing migrants...it's all a plan to prop up realestate prices and nothing else.

Same here dear, on behalf of my husband. His course needs work experience to gain license and without it its not complete 😞.

Why are you guys fleeing your countries for?

Same with my son and family his masters is by coursework. Are you guys ask karl’s professional advise

Ah sorry! Doing now! Thanks for the reminder

Liberal has been known to cut permanent migration planning levels, as they did back in 2019. So if they come back in power, the migration will probably be back into uncapped temporary migration while keeping student graduates and skilled workers in permanent limbo.

Yes a little misleading to call it May's processing time when the data was published on 30th April.

Unfortunately we only have the median processing times to go by.

Really, is that all you can talk about?

@@ZenZomato raise your concern to DOHA about their data, please. We only analyse data published by them.

Australian govt. Employees are lazy in nature.They do not bother for the time value of people. Nither they waant to deploy more staff nor to build a transparent system to overcome the difficulties faced by the people.Just look while issuing a student visa sub clause 500. They are playing with the future of students who have just attained age of majority.Their future got stuck only because of poor system of Australian govt.for such an unplanned and non transparent visa system .Either the related staff is irresponsible or All are involved in a scam.This Govt./prople Should be punished for such doings for non transparency, ignoring time value of people and for non responsibility of the govt

The 491 backlog will likely be dragged to the new FY as it has always been. There are just not enough quota to grant all, by design.

Hmmmm, not sure which visa you are referrring to?

If you are specifically talking about the phenomenon that people are being tricked into applying protection visa after their initial visa expires in order to obtain a BVA with full work rights until their protection visa application is being decided, I am not sure if that's a proper topic to discuss. That scheme ultimately is just an abuse of the visa system, delaying those people's departure for as long as they can.

They’ll try to latch onto any visa they can, they don’t care in what way they achieve it. Just like student visas - one huge systematic rort and abuse of Australian migration law and regulations

Probably by the end of this year we think

The median time is 12 months but yes many will take much longer than that. Hang in there it will happen evetually

If your residency address is Australia then you are classified as onshore. Thanks for the positive feedback

Yes they are dragging their heels on those applications but of course they should be honored. Fingers crossed

You can articulate it well. Have you tried sending an email to the doha ?

While I agree Australian government flip-flops without due care, and such act is a disgrace to all people involved, not sure how other countries would influence this much. Are you suggesting other primary source nations advertise Australia as a terrible location to study and live, which arguably isn’t really true? However, what we can and should do is to inflict reputation damage to Australian government and their fast changing unstable (student) visa system, letting them know in the strongest voice possible that students aren’t scapegoats of Australia, willing to be squeezed and discarded.

@@estellebright2579 We are not expecting anyone to advertise Australia as a terrible location to study and live. Or reputation damage to Australian government. What we are expecting is a very fair ask - If a person/student entered the country on 1st Sept 2022 or so, all policies that were in fource at that time, should remain applicable for that person/student. Australia shuoldn't play with students life like this. Many students, specially who are near their 35 make very tough decision if they decide to entry a callege life again as most of those are married, have kids and dependents, they leave their jobs and enter Australia for a new beginning with a plan considering the policies that were in force when they entered.

shame on this government. so changeable and cheating, no fame at all

@@rl2388 Not sure, what is doha

Yes the provisional visas are included in the quota's so that is why there is a delay

@@ailsaustralia You mean the 491 Subsequent Entrant visa(Dependent) too??

hi when did you lodge

@@anuthakur9443 Sep 2023

@@ailsaustralia Do 491 Subsequent Entrant visa(Dependent) too have quotas ?

Not true entirely what govt is saying in other words Let me give an example a person lets say 30 year old person applies for a 485 which is valid for 2 yrs right and if the person somehow works in AUS for next 35 years(assuming person is retiring at the age of 65) considering he went onto become a citizen and contributing to economy Whereas if you give a person of 35 year old a graduate visa considering he retires in 65 years which means he can work for 30 years i.e so practically loss of 5 years which is a big deal So people who are 1988 plus born are indeed alright but before that are thoritically screwed :)

@@akashvhegde1 The difference in contribution time is clear to me. However, my point addresses purely the technicality of DOHA's statement. They talk about long-term contribution, something technically impossible for someone with a temporary visa like the 485 visa. They assume that all 485 holders will eventually become PRs, which may not be the case. For example, I intend to apply for the 485, but at the moment I am not convinced that I will stay permanently in Australia. In summary, DOHA uses PR logic to justify decisions made regarding a temporary visa. But, as you said, there may be a valid intention behind this. Although the statement is not clear.

No one is really complaining about the age cap being brought in, it is just there should be a transition arrangement in place for those who have aleady come to `Australia

Yes you are right and I should have covered that point as well but I will use your comment for next week.

@GuilhermeCrepa Excellent put up but u know people who come from developing countries like India, China, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Vietnam etc come here as student visa(most) and want to stay in this country for long time This is detrimental to economy yes on one hand u bri g whole lot of tax but next generation will be onto competition in terms of education, career and other stuff which previous generations were not brought up as hence affects through generational ages

Yes, not much hope next year as well.

@@md.rasiqshadmanalam9000 the perception of this planning level and nominating process changes after 2022. Last year they made a statement saying that this planning level we will use for visa grant but before they were using this allocation for nominations.. too much confusion indeed

@ExploreHub_Vibes yes they did in 2022 to bring more immigrants to boost their economy. Once the purpose is fulfilled. They look no further intake of immigrants. That's the ground reality.

That is the 90% figure not the mean average. We are uncertain how many 491 and 190 appliacants are still wiating but yes those figures do impact upon the state allocations. We will have to wait and see. Thanks for the support!

@@ExploreHub_Vibes there is no relation to the allocation for visa grant and how many invitations they want to issue, as demonstrated back in July 2022 all the way to Dec 2022, with a total of 50,000 invitations being issued, 1.5x the quota number iirc. However, each FY’s planning level will have an impact on the number of invitations they want to issue, as they don’t want to create loads of backlogs.

The age cap is an injustice to all students who have arrived and studying in Australia

This is not only injustice for PhD students but for all students who are currently studying in Australia

The case officer has to open your file first and then issue an s56 and then only you’ll be able to redo the medicals.

Well it does ask if you are a resident but up to you which box you tick!

The transition period should apply to everyone that applied student visa before the age cap rule implements, not targeting any specific group. But at the same time, a line must be drawn somewhere, and some people will be left out.

That is a good point and it maybe possible but there are a number of things to consider. We will make a vidoe on this topic if it apprears certain by mid June the governement is not going to provide a transistion period. Stay tuned

@@ailsaustraliaThis is encouraging. Thank you so much Karl.

@@ailsaustralia Thank you so much Karl for being such a source of knowledge and inspiration. I wanted to let you know that a number of universities have arranged to deliver 'completion letters' to affected international students before 1 July. However, a number of universities have refused to, in the main, because it's administratively too complicated for them! This is despite being able to administratively process the thousands of dollars in course fees paid by international students. So, I have a question for you: can Migration Regulation 1.15F be satisfied by something other than a document titled "Completion Letter", i.e. an email or letter provided by the university to an individual student that confirms they have completed the Reg 1.15F requirements, notwithstanding it is not officially called a "completion letter"? The point is while some universities might not be able to issue early completion letters to all students, they may be able to create bespoke emails/ letters for impacted international students? MIGRATION REGULATIONS 1994 - REG 1.15F Australian study requirement (1) A person satisfies the Australian study requirement if the person satisfies the Minister that the person has completed 1 or more degrees, diplomas or trade qualifications for award by an Australian educational institution as a result of a course or courses: (a) that are registered courses; and (b) that were completed in a total of at least 16 calendar months; and (c) that were completed as a result of a total of at least 2 academic years study; and (d) for which all instruction was conducted in English; and (e) that the applicant undertook while in Australia as the holder of a visa authorising the applicant to study. Note: Academic year is defined in regulation 1.03. (2) In this regulation: "completed" , in relation to a degree, diploma or trade qualification, means having met the academic requirements for its award. Note: The academic requirements for the award of a degree, diploma or trade qualification do not include the formal conferral of the degree, diploma or trade qualification. Therefore, a person can complete a degree, diploma or trade qualification, for subregulation (2), before the award is formally conferred.

You can check the conditions placed upon your visa to answer that. If there is no condition which stipulates that then it does not matter

When applying for the 485 visa you must demonstrate you have achieved the minimum Englsih level at the time you apply

@@ailsaustralia thank you

Please book a time but ultimately you may have to appeal to the Minister to remain here so your child can have his family remain in Australia while he/she grows up

Yeah I know and that includes most of the people in my profession

On average about 12 months is the wait but this can take longer depending wha they are double checking. Hang in there and thanks for your support

If anything, accountants would probably be in the chopping block of “available occupation for migration”. There are just way too many accountant graduates, many with higher points than you. Back in 2015, accountant was one of a handful of popular occupations to have a pro rata system limiting how many could be invited in an invitation round. And based on what I know, many accountants are not competent enough to actually do accounting job. It has been a huge mess lasting a very long time, for about two decades, mainly caused by unscrupulous agents tricking students to study or students wanting an easier degree to finish to get PR.

@@estellebright2579 definitely a relevant but to say they have higher points than me upon graduating is categorically wrong, ive worked in an accounting firm in Melbourne for 5 years now, on an employee sponsored visa. My firm will sponsor me for PR next year, but id rather get it myself. 80% of accounting grads dont work in the field due to demand and supply, so marketing the course for a PR path is definitely troublesome, if there is no demand it shouldnt be on the list, its more of a marketing ploy by Universities.

@@sandeshpereira761 believe it or not, there ARE accountant graduates with more than 90 points. A few even have 105. How they are able to achieve that I don’t know, but they seem to be able to do so. As for removal of the list, accountant was called to be removed by many people in the past when liberal was in power, but nothing happened. Dunno if that will happen today. As for “course for PR path”, those teaching and nursing courses are going to be super hot for a very long time, both for easy employment opportunities and for quick PR pathway.

yes I think it was about that

What about master by course work?

What is our fault We are doing masters coursework 😢

Only what we have talked about

Hoping soon

They must be checking something I guess

Hopefully sometime in July or August 2024, basically 2-3 months away.

We have a video on meeting the Australian Study requirement, please watch it carefully

Google will do that for you

@@markbowers4241 just Google it yourself.

I personally think the coursework one is going to be very hard. Up until this day I keep seeing people asking on the facebook group "Can I transfer to the master of social work for easy PR?", or "What master course should I take that has an easier pathway and job opportunities?", etc. These are basically the reason why the government thinks that people do not take coursework master seriously and without any pure intention to study. So, people who purely took a masters degree for study (and of course with possible work opportunities) need to work very hard convincing the government because of those people.

@@rl2388 The type of degree does not define people's intentions. Theoretically international students would be attracted to do research master's than coursework master's because in coursework, there is a tight schedule, 80% mandatory attendance to on-campus classes, and most importantly, there is a cap on fortnight work hours, the research master's do not put these limitations on students. But people choose what they are passionate about. Coursework offers hands-on training and on-campus learning experiences, and it is as important as the research programs; they complement each other. So please, let's move away from stereotyping people and spreading "opinions" as they are credible facts and statistics. If you witness some coursework students the way you described this, it doesn't mean others are not serious about their studies. I don't deny what you said, but I believe they are not a significant percentage because, as stated, 80% of international students return to their home countries, so 80% are serious; this number may include all Master's (research and coursework), PhD, Bachelor's, and Diploma students.

​@@SarahdermaAs I said before, people who purely took a master coursework to study need to work very hard convincing the government because of those people. I have never said that all the coursework students like that.

No that is exactly what they said and if they don't follow through and give these transtional arrangements it means they have lied and defrauded tens of thousands of students in this country

Most likely, yes but a new version will pop up much like this new Skills in Demand visa replacing the 482 visa. Or they may decide just to leave it called the 189

You will need to wait a few months likely

It look's like it for the 189. 190 and 491 should be much better

Yeah I know that is another visa which needs to be discussed. Soon yes

If Australia wants to broadcast the world they are no longer welcoming migrants, they can do that, and suffer consequences. They did once before cancelling 175/176 permanent visa applications. All in the name of easing the housing crisis, despite slowly declining natural birth rate, ageing population, shrinking working population, and the desire of becoming a manufacturing powerhouse. Maybe, Australia thinks their tourist industry can be so big that welcoming talented migrants is not really necessary.

Lol alot of us can't even afford rent because there's to many immigrants

@@Kayla-lh5we I don't get how your comment is related to my comment but I do agree there are too many. However, I'd like to see your thoughts on how other countries that aren't famous for receiving immigrants fell into a housing crisis too.

@@bravebrendda well I don't know about other countries but I do know why Australia is not doing well, is because alot of our youths who don't contribute to society are getting benefits from the government when they don't do anything, and also when COVID was around we had our boarders closed of from immigrants and nobody was allowed out to work and build houses, so of course once the boarders were open there were too many people and less houses

@@Kayla-lh5we ok let’s close the border once again for 3 more years but allow normal people movements. Maybe that will sort out housing problems?

yes it is an issue and there is merit to give access to the 186 visa as long as people are still working in their occupation without the need of sponsorship to happen

This is one of the biggest issue with me regarding government granting 482 like handing over candy bars like they handed out invites in 2022-2023 FY, except worse cause 482 is a temporary visa with only a potential pathway for pr. I just don’t understand why 186TRT needs employer sponsorship again, but as you can see the government doesn’t want to implement that simple fix, instead spend time on building a brand new visa.

Hmmmm, they dont tell us that one

Impossible to say but the chances seem slim for the 189 visa

Thanks for the reply.

Hi

The chance of another invitation round happening in the next month is slim to none.

Yes you will be fine

No the 407 usues the same list of occupations as the 482 visa

If you mean the old pandemic visa, that one has been dead. If you mean other 408 visa, there has been no news about it so maybe there’s no change.

@@estellebright2579 thank you sir

Thanks so much! Stay tuned for more

They had some level of compassion before when housing crisis didn’t enter main stream and skill shortage was at its peak. Obviously, not anymore nowadays.

No they will remain on the system so no need

@@ailsaustralia Thanks!

@@Dahni555 you do need to read carefully each states nomination requirements to be sure. QLD for example asked for new EOI to be lodged to be considered last FY.

@@estellebright2579 good to know thank you

Thanks!

Exactly. The government doesnt really think about this from out perspectives.

Yeah I understand but you can use recent study to apply for the 407

​@@ailsaustraliawho's eligible for 407 visa? are accountant eligible for this visa?

Do I need an employer for the 407 visa?

Very unlikely

Unlikely it seems

You should get a special medal for that!

Sorry, it's there now

There was never a video said the mninister exempt the current students. There was only a statement from a shadow minister. Those two are different

Yes we are still waiting to see about current students, that is what the transitional arrangement demand is all about

It is essesntially exactly the same visa
