Thank you much appreciated
@@Thesmoothestoperator Yeah and remember not to catcall random women on the street too standing in your hi-vis
Thanks for addressing the issue of parent visas. Coming from a developing country, my parents made a lot of sacrifices to fund an international education in Australia which eventually gave me PR. Their support has given me a high quality of life in Australia and I would love to do the same for them now. The sheer cost ($100,000 for two) and processing time has been a major deterrent.
Hi Karl,
Thank you for you and Yuur channel.
Finally I got my 190 visa after 15months waiting. Your weekly updates helped me.alot.
Ya.. That's good news.. & congratulations 🎉
My question is same, which occupation & when you applied for?
Fantastic! Pleased to hear even if it took longer than usual
Couldn't wait for this week's update. Keep up the good work Karl
Thanks, will do!
I can empathize with this father. I'm in a similar situation as a U.S. citizen who is in my mid 50's. My 8yr old son lives in Australia with my ex-wife. I just want to be with my son but waiting for 12-15 years to migrate? That is incredibly cruel. I don't want ANY benefits from the Australian government. I will pay my own private health insurance. The government should enact a contributory parent permanent visa WITHOUT BENEFITS with much shorter wait times. I don't want Australia's money. Like the father in this video, I would be SPENDING and investing money into the economy. I would be spending money on private school fees, soccer/tennis/swim lessons, computers, tutoring, etc. In supporting my son, I would be pumping hundreds of thousands into the economy over my lifetime there. I would be bringing proceeds from a house sale, ongoing business income, and pension income. There needs to be a better solution for parents like us who will be paying into Australia not taking from it. Thank you Karl for giving this gentleman in the video a platform to shine a much needed light on this.
Yes indeed there should be. If people can prove they have income and insurance and a place to stay with family, what is the downside to give them an extended visas
Thank you again for bringing this great video to us as usual.
Very grateful for this and all the informative videos released before, especially those on recent policy changes, as they are way more helpful than some random articles shared by other agents.
I booked a consultation with AILS to discuss possible visa options after my post-grad visa expires. The consultant was knowledgeable and helpful. She encouraged me to wait and see how the new policy on the employer sponsorship visa would be implemented; plus, as she further noted, I should wait for the 189 visa invitation, which later turned out to be disappointing again.
Taking the time and money spent here, with this unpredictability in place, I would be grateful if Karl could share more information about the visa policies in other countries, especially those less known to skilled migrants, like Ireland, Germany, etc.
The recent 485 visa age cap change is so unfair that it affects current students !
I recently turned 36, about to graduate after spending over $90,000, and now I feel miserable and stuck. What can we do?😢
Same here😢😢😢😢
Home 😢
Same😪😭
I wish there was some light at the end of this battle but as time goes on the government will not shift its position
Go to New Zealand they want people.
Look towards USA and Canada, I know is hard to start afresh but what can one do...
We're in a similar boat to the interviewee. With both of our children and now two grandchildren living in Australia, we applied for the 143 in May 2022 and having done our research we went to Karl to help us through the process. Then, the Australian Government were quoting about six years. Looks like that was at the very least misleading. The Australian Government really need to sort this out. There's a lot of propaganda floating around (fueled by last year's report suggesting changes to the immigration system) that immigrant parents cost Australia a lot of money, as we get old and rely on the state. This seems to be leaking into the Australian public's psyche and the report even suggests the scrapping of all permanent parent visas as one solution. There is no mention or suggestion of a visa option based on the ability to support ourselves. We travel there regularly and spend real money in the Australian economy. What I mean by that is we bring in money from outside of Australia. It isn't just money that is recirculated within the country. If we had the opportunity to move to Australia to be with the only family we really have left, we would bring with us the proceeds of house sales, pensions and savings, all to be spent in the Australian economy, and would be happy to take out private health insurance to avoid being a 'burden' on the State. Come on, Australian Government. You say you put family at the top of the tree. Now's the time to prove it.
It is indeed time to prove it! Thanks for your comment and support
I have been waiting since 2018 😢
2:04 for that Idiocracy reference, please thank your video editor on my behalf. 😂 It’s too darn accurate
Will do!
Is there hope with the AAT regarding a transition period for 485 visa applications for current students in Australia above 35?
Is there anyway of getting a new FOY list - Karl can you do this? And do you know why the 143 is not on the immi account?
Hi Karl, I applied for 485 visa on 26 June, received course completion letter on 28 June, and updated the same on the same day. Will this lead to refusal?
Hey mate i really love your video’s. I have got an invitation for 190 automotive mechanic back in 2021 August and applied for visa around November 2021. After this the real pain starts , have been asked afp, pcc three times, have send several emails, phone calls , global complaints. Last time they asked pcc, afp and medical 4 months ago after that nothing happened its been 32 months dont know what to do. Now i think that lodging visa the biggest mistake of my life because i am stuck at one point until the result comes out
Hi Karl & Team,
Thank you so much for your dedication and helping so many people wanting to make Australia their new home!
It‘s been my dream to become an Australian literally since I was a child and I just received my visa grant (scl 190, WA) this week.
Your videos really helped me remaining positive and being patient😊
Your support is highly appreciated!!!
Best regards,
Nik
Well done Nik your hard work and efforts have paid off. Thanks for your support and enjoy the rest of your life in Australia
Congratulations 🎉,Please can you tell us when u lodged your visa and under what profession
@@khouloudfadayel7874 Thanks!! Electrician onshore, lodged 08.12.23
That's great news, Nik. Congratulations to you. We await our fate in the same regard.
While waiting for your 190 visa, if you get promoted to a position that is not in your nominated occupation, can this result in your visa getting refused?
Carl, I always watch your show as soon as it comes out. I agree, keep doing this good work; I also agree with you & the Judge ... Separating a Family is a cruel thing to do, much more if it's done through deception ... which is what is happening here.
I, like you, I 'm all for rules and abide to the Law, but here in Australia sometimes the Law and it's regulations seems to be crafted to take people (visa applicants in this case) for a ride ... at their own expenses.
It is simply not human.
They seems to have forgotten that they came here on a boat 200 years ago and they simply invaded the place, no visa required, with the excuse of declaring Australia Terra Nullius, while knowing very well it wasn't.
Agree that immigration must be controlled; but in the case of parent Visas, it has taken a ridiculous turn.
Form a colleague, cheers.
Hi, I have 75 points for the 491 visa in Victoria. I'm currently working in Melbourne. Can I submit my Expression of Interest, or do I need to move to a regional area in Victoria first to receive the invitation, or can I wait to move after receiving the invitation? Thanks.
Are Management Consultants coming from HR background required in Australia?
What should we do Karl? I lodged my 190 visa last year and expecting grant soon. The parent visa has always been a conundrum to my family? What can I do to bring them to Australia in a long term visa? I can pay for their healthcare insurance if that makes a difference
I applied for 143 in 2019, with a hope to get it by 2022. But still I am in the queue. How much more time it takes I don't know. I do visit every year to be with my children and grandchildren.
Sir,
Your videos are very informative and we extend our appreciation for that. With visa 143, our queue date for my parents is in Sept. 2017 and they have just reached to 26 Jun 3017. Yet, we haven't reached to the final processing stage. Worst part is that we can't even gather any information on the status of our application and dept. does not respond to any individual queries which is very much understandable.
Looks like it may not take too much longer, hoping for the best for you
Thanks Karl for the guest, keep it up.
"For those individuals that have been cast aside, can find a good life somewhere."
This goes far.
Yes there should be more talk about making a good life in other countries or just by going home
We can’t lodge ROI yet for Victoria yet. It’s not open yet,
Looks like it won't be long then
@@ailsaustralia do we have a date on when roi vic will be opened? I have an update to increase my points.
im seriously considering a refund for 143 at this stage. its absolute BS. Do you have much info on successful refunds for this 143 application. How do they expect someone not to marry for like 12-15 years while waiting for that visa. its ridiculous.
Kinda going off track here, will my type 2 diabetes effect my students visa or my PR lodgement?
Student no but PR perhaps depending upon an updated medical result
Why AUD 43,000 for parents visa its complete shame on immigration
Hi Karl! I’m a 43-year old American educator who has already paid in excess of $600 to get my skills assessment done! I had to also take one of the language assessments to prove my English skills, which was another $340.00. I have lodged my EOI twice, but I only have 65 points (because apparently I am old) for a 189 visa and 70 points for a 190 visa.
I’m a skilled educator! It appears to me that inexperienced, younger people are given precedence over mature lifelong learners who could serve as mentors-how sad!
Are you aware of any other pathways? It’s my husband’s dream for us to live to Australia because there are jobs in his field although his industry is not listed as a skilled migration sector.
Thanks for all you do!
Thank you but you may only have employer sponsored left to rely on. Please book a time if you wish to discuss
Is there a minimum time to expiry required on passport when arriving on a 190 visa?
Hi carl my daughter Azba your client and got Queue Latter for our 143 visa file, Sir please know to me how much time take to process approximately... ???
Thanx
Thanks for this video
Do you suggest us to withdraw the application and reapply if the completion letter and lodgement date is same ?
Or we should wait for the decision by case officer and then Go with AAT
please reply
Please book a time to discuss for there are a few variables to consider. If you are over 35 you may not be able to lodge again
"Sometimes a bad thing can be a really good thing" - well said Marcus 👏
Do i need to do the JRP to have skill assessment for carpenter occupation ?
HI Karl,
Can you please advise me on how to get a Hap ID for my partner? As my partner's details have been added into my 190 applicate after the visa lodgment (Visa Lodged in April 2023 and Partner's details have been updated in June 2024). Thank you for your time and your assistance :)
I lodged my application for a 190 subclass visa to VIC in January 2020. I married in 2021 after 1 year of waiting and added my spouse. she took PTE and I completed NAATI CCL and compensated the 10 points lost due to marriage. But after 53 months of waiting they picked my file and simply refused my visa application. I lost my hard work, my 4 years of waiting, my family's future, my wife's career everything. Now I don't know what to do, only because of this non-humanitarian law. What can I do?
Yes, you should appeal in the AAT. If they assess partner points in the date of decision then they should consider the points gathered while waiting. They simply expect applicants to not marry for 4 years and if you even wait 4 years for the grant and then marry you will have to wait 3,4 more years just to get her in the country with another long waiting partner visa.
If you appeal, you will definitely lose the case, because you don't add partner during your visa application, provided that you didn't add her when you applied for your 190 nomination of EOI.
You shouldn't have added her while waiting for your 190 visa application to be approved.
That is the immigration policy.
You may take it to court is the only chance
just apply again and wait, nothing else can be done. The don't be in a relationship clause is quite well known and i am honestly astonished sometimes that people just delude themselves into thinking that they are above the rules alas 😢
True, if Australia dose not want you, another country needs you.
My brother applied for a student visa to Australia twice, and he was denied...
Guess what? After his studies in Germany 🇩🇪, he applied for a skilled visa to Canada 🇨🇦 and it was approved.
Today , he has his PR and would be eligible for citizenship next year.
Go out and try other better countries...
Hi Karl,
Thank you very much for all your informative videos , really appreciate what you are doing..I am 42 years old and submitted my EOI for Analyst programmer with 95 points for 491 from Offshore. Is their any criteria to ignore a person with 40+ age even if they have higher points.I came to know that they are not considering 40+ at all.
For the 190 visa or 491 they can make their own criteria Im afraid. Even the 189 they can target invitations
Hi Karl,
I'm Mechanical engineer and have submitted EOI in September 23.
I've got 80 points for 190 and 90 for 491 category.
When can i expect the invitation?
Thanks for informative videos!!!
Which state did you apply to?
Every

Hi Karl, Just wondering for dama, if you're working for an employer for 2 years and they sponsor you on 482, do you need to work 3 years after 482 grant or the previous 2 years can be counted as well?
No you need to be working for the sponsoring employer for two years whilst holding a 482

This is over 1 week now, my employer applied for my 186 visa nomination for nursing job in Australia, since then, l have been waiting for them to send me nomination approval letter, so that l can apply for visa 186.
Karl, my question is, how long timeframe does 186 nomination take before they will approve it, when your employer applied for you?.
Thank you Karl.
Can be months for a nomination to approved, often 6 months so you need to hang in there and wait Im afraid

My ex moved to Australia with our 8 year old daughter from the UK were we all lived, I thought I could get Parental Visa but does not look like a likely route for me
Australia does not want to have parents here it seems

Hi Karl, can I apply for skill assessment (university lecturer) now, just one more month to complete one year in the job.
No you need to meet the 12 months
The state qoutas are similar to those of 2023-24 which were much lesser than the planning level for the same year. Is the same happening this year as well because state qoutas for 190 hardly add up to 10k whereas it should be around 30k as per planning level for 2024-25? pls give some insight @karl
Will do

Is there any way to save my current 485 application? I’m one of the students who lodged on same day as completion letter. Please reply. Thank you .
Probably not from the department I'm afraid but you never know what may lie ahead with the AAT
well said ,Australian parent visa is incredibly harsh, separating families for years and making it nearly impossible for parents to join their children. This inhumane policy places undue stress on families and fails to recognize the importance of familial bonds and support systems.

Any updates on 485 age limit?
Not yet and reality as time goes by it is not looking good
All the family visas are cruel. Also when trying to bring family members by visitor visas they always reject it for some childish reasons even without properly going through the documents attached. Even after getting the permanent residency, we do not feel it's our home here. Please do a video about visitor visas as well. They are rejecting many this financial year.
I agree. A similar case occurred to my wife as well. ACT authority simply rejected skill assessment, citing reason as basic course on 1 degree subject is not covered when she already has advance in it. And when we try to appeal , we face technical issue which delayed the process for more than 2months now
Yeah I know that is what makes matters so much worse
Sir I am from India and I am a diesel machanic and I have done my training in this field and one year experience. I want to work in Australia. So please reply me sir and help me sir.

Dear Karl,
Hope you are doing well. I want to ask if I upload some documents (birth certificate, salary slips) after 4 months of submitting 491 visa it would beneficial or it will increase the delay
I should upload right away or wait for case officer to ask
Previously I uploaded passport in the birth evidence section
It will increase the delay if you don't provide necessary documentation

Waiting for 186 visa approval. Its been 14 months.
I think if they can't do better, they should atleast give permission to lodge 143 onshore and give bridging visa (with no work rights) afterall they paid a big amount of $130000.
Yes that would be a good step forward
If I had this amount of money, I would invest it in a business in my country and my family would enjoy every bit of it.

The Australian government doesn’t want parents of their citizens to come stay with their children and grandchildren, period! Now even visiting they don’t want. It’s very cruel to do that.
Yes we don't want these scammers. I know of many sly students who came here .. scammed our immigration loophole, brought their parents who are already sick in their 50s and 60s. They start working cash in hand in restaurants, cleaning etc. The worst are Nepalese... this must stop now.
