Line up parents to emigrate to become the biggest target! Yesterday, MIA sent out the latest notice, which addresses two major issues: quotas for parents` immigration visas for the current fiscal year, and the latest answers to common core questions about employer-guaranteed visas.
Parental immigration visa
The LI for this fiscal year, fiscal year 2017 / 18, the largest number of visas granted to parents, came into effect on June 1st! There is a decrease in queue visas compared to the previous LI regulations!
Paid parent immigration
The total number of paid parent immigration visas granted this fiscal year is up to 7175, no change from the previous period.
The categories covered are: 143864173 and 884.
Queued parents emigration
The total number of queued parents immigration visas approved this fiscal year is up to 1500, 50 fewer than before.
Visa categories: 103 and 804.
Other family migrants
The LI also sets a cap on immigration visas for other families. The total number of visas granted this fiscal year is up to 500, 20 fewer than the previous rule.
The visas covered are mainly 114115116835836 and 838.
In figures alone, the cap on paid and queued parents immigration visas for FY17 / 18 is consistent with the quota. But last fiscal year was also so many quotas, and the actual number of visas granted is still less than the quota.
The two categories of visas that are now being reduced are precisely the ones that have little extra economic contribution to Australia, unlike paying parents who pay a large two-term visa fee. So you can imagine why the Ministry of the Interior suddenly revised the quota at this time.
Employer guaranteed visa
Employer guarantee reform involves a lot of content and complexity, so many people still have this and that kind of question. The following are the most recent answers to some common but important questions covering 457, TSS and the TRT branch to PR.
457 and TSS visas
1. What if you want to change employers?
If you want to change employers, the new employer must be approved business sponsor, and submit a new TSS nomination.
If the validity of the existing visa is longer, you can not reapply for a visa.
2. What happens when the existing 457 visa expires?
If the employer or position or occupation remains unchanged, a new TSS nomination and visa application can be submitted and, of course, other requirements for an TSS visa are met.
3, what if you want to change careers?
For 457 visa holders, employers are required to submit new job nominations and the occupation must be on a valid career list. At the same time to meet other provisions of the law.
For TSS visa holders, submit new nominations and apply for new visas.
4, what if the occupation is no longer on the list of occupations?
If your career is not on the list, you cannot nominate it or apply for an TSS visa. As for the ability to go TRT branch to PR, depends on the individual circumstances.
TRT branch
5. If you change careers, will you still be able to follow the transition policy to the TRT branch?
Those who already hold or submit 457 visas before April 18, 2017, apply the grandfather clause, which means they can enjoy a transitional policy. Even if subsequently applied for a TSS visa, regardless of the occupation, is still eligible to follow the transitional policy.
6. Will obtaining a new TSS visa affect your eligibility to take the TRT route in the future?
If the new TSS visa continues to work for the same employer in the same position, the eligibility to take the TRT route will not be affected.
7. If you change your employer, will it affect your eligibility to take the TRT route in the future?
The applicant can transfer to PR. through TRT only if he meets a certain length of continuous work (continuous period of employment). If you change the employer, it may have an impact. However, the following three cases can be considered to meet the requirements of "continuous work within a specified period of time":
Standard guaranteed employer (SBS) is the sole nominee, and the nominee works in one or more affiliated entity companies under the employer`s name
The guarantee company was purchased, sold, reorganized or closed, requiring a change in the ABN or ACN or name, resulting in a new SBS, but no change in the nominee`s position.
The original guarantor was Overseas Business Sponsor, which subsequently established an entity company in Australia to become Australian business sponsor.
8. Does ANZSCO`s 4-digit professional code rule still apply?
Right。 When transferring to PR via TRT, the first 4 digits of the occupation will be as long as the previous application for a residence visa.
9. If you have worked with an affiliated entity company of the current employer, can you go to the TRT branch?
Yes. The policy in force on July 1, 2017, which requires the nominee to work under the nominee`s "direct control", was questioned by the narrow definition at that time. On March 18, 2018, the policy on the interpretation of "direct control" was revised. Working in an employer`s affiliated entity company may also be regarded as meeting the requirements of "direct control".
