Australia`s skilled immigrant visas have been on trial for more than a year, driving millions of people crazy, like 189, which was signed the previous month and waiting for a year and a half.
Many people know that processing time is related to quotas, number of applicants and trial standards, but different visa priorities are also an important factor.
On March 26th, the Immigration Board quietly adjusted the priority of visa processing for skilled immigrants, with employers winning the guarantee category, and applicants, especially those submitted before March 18, 2018, weeping in the toilet!
The new regulations, which came into effect on March 27, apply to the following nomination and visa applications submitted prior to, on and after that date.
Visa priority
This refers to visa applications for skilled immigrants, with priority levels of:
One, time priority
Applications filed on or after 18 March 2018 have priority ove
Applications submitted before March 18, 2018.
In other words, priority is given to visas submitted on or after 3.18 and then to visas submitted prior to 3.18. Friends who submit by this date but have not yet been signed will have to wait.
II. Visa priority
Within the above time priority range, the priority order for different categories of visa applications is from the highest to the lowest:
- (B) apply and nominate the employer to sign a labour agreement under the DAMA, or an GTS agreement;
- (C) Application, in which approved sponsors for certification of (accredited) is preferred;
- (B) apply for and nominate posts in remote areas, in which the nominating employer is the approved sponsors accredited to the (accredited) or where a labour agreement has been signed (except as contained in Article 1);
- 489 L ä nder guarantee applications;
- 489 relatives guarantee application;
- 190 applications;
- (B) an employer`s guarantee visa application, in which the employer is nominated as approved sponsors of the certified (accredited) or where a labour agreement has been entered into (except as contained in articles 1 and 3);
- Applications for nominating occupations on the MLTSSL list as well as applications for 885886 and 487, which are classified as priority.
- All other applications.
All in all:
- The same type of visa, depending on the submission time before or after 3.18.
- Within the same time range, depending on the type and branch of the visa.
For example:
- If all applications are 186, then 3.18 should be submitted prior to 3.18.
- If all submitted after 3.18, the labor agreements branch, the DAMA branch and the GTS branch take precedence over the general 186 application.
- If the application submitted before 3.18, no matter what type of visa, wait until 3.18 after the application has been processed before the turn of the round.
Note: regardless of the priority level of the visa, the immigration quota requirements for the visa should first be met. In other words, if a visa has run out of quotas for the current fiscal year, then even if it is the first priority, then this fiscal year will not continue to hear.
The new rules, however, refer to visa categories related to Section 85, which can continue to be examined but cannot be signed if quotas run out, mainly referring to family reunification visas.
Comment on Neolithic experts:
March 18, 2018 is the date on which the 482 visa is officially launched, and the Immigration Service prioritizes it on this date. It is not hard to see that the first step is to accept guarantee nominations and visa applicants from employers. After all, they already have a job, immigrants can immediately contribute to the economic, help increase employment and so on.
In addition, the priority of guarantee visas in remote areas is second only to that of employers guarantee, which is in line with Australia`s government`s intention to push for a new deal in remote areas. The new 491 and 494 visas are expected to remain this high priority after 11.16.
Nomination priority
This refers to the employer`s nomination for a guarantee visa. The (nomination), priority is:
One, time priority
Applications filed on or after 18 March 2018 have priority ove
Applications submitted before March 18, 2018.
II. Nomination priority level
Within the above-mentioned temporal priorities, the priorities of the different categories are from high to low as follows:
Nomination, and the employer has signed a labour agreement under the DAMA, or an GTS agreement;
(C) nominations, among which approved sponsors for certification of the (accredited) is preferred;
(B) nominating and nominating posts in remote areas, with priority being given to approved sponsors, which certifies (accredited), and employers who have signed labour agreements (except those contained in article 1);
All other nominations, including approved sponsors, which certifies (accredited), and employer nominations (except those contained in articles 1 and 3), which have signed labour agreements, are preferred.
exceptional case
The new rule does not apply to:
- AAT application for appeal;
- (a) an application for a new hearing outcome following an appeal by AAT (for example, the application was previously rejected and signed after the appeal);
- Applications that manifestly fail to meet the requirements for signing;
- There is no application for secondary application submitted with the main application.
- 495496487 and 489 applications with visas of 495496487 and 475 at the time of application;
- 189 New Zealand branch application.
epilogue
In the final analysis, the USCIS is looking at the economic to select applicants who are highly employable and able to meet the needs of Australia`s labour market.
Again, the trend for future Australian immigrants will be in favour of employers guarantee and the remote state of guarantee. Independent skilled immigrants will continue to tighten and score higher.
So, if your score is not high enough, be sure to get ready for Plan B! Specifically, please contact Neolithic consultant, one-to-one specific personal situation to develop an exclusive plan!
