Hoping you’re alright Karl. The dedication and commitment towards your work and welfare of people has been more than commendable. One of the best in industry and great human being. Thank you for everything you do
From refused visas to ART lengthy reviews to Federal Court reviews to failed departure to “maybe removal”, one person can still find various ways to delay their departure, sometimes for years. I don’t know how many more staff ART would need to have to not let waiting time blowing out into decade territory, but I’m not seeing the promise of “lowering numbers” when “failed departure” has not been addressed by anyone properly at all. Let’s see if 2025 there will be some sweeping changes to this after labor is expected to lose the election.
Yes Estelle you are right the situation os getting out of hand but it natuaral for people to try and stay as long as they to can and fight to get the outcome they are looking for
Hi Karl saw you have a bandaid on, I hope everything is okay. Would you be able to make a video on the ever increasing 191 visa processing time? So that the DHA can turn their attention to this matter just like how you did it on the minimum income threshold issue in 491 visa. Per the immigration website, the processing time is now 9 months. And it keeps increasing. A very significant increase compared to early 2023. For a visa that costs ‘only’ $500, the processing time doesnt make any sense. As a 491 holder who has just lodged 191 application, Im so stressed out as it feels like Im stuck in an ‘unfair game’ as DHA keeps changing the rule of the game / moving the goalpost (by keep increasing the processing time). In addition, not having a PR holds me back in terms of career progression as there are jobs out there requiring PR visa. Thank you for your help and for all those very informative videos Karl!
Thanks for your videos Karl, always very informative. Can we do anything else to bring attention to 191 visa processing or at least easy restrictions for 494 visa holders? I applied in May 24, processing times have been increasing from 2 months to 9 months and seems to be increasing again. We are stuck in the same job, same salary and quite often very poor work conditions while 482 and 186 visa are processed in couple of weeks. We have been emailing MPs, open petitions, trying to get exposure on social media but it is getting worse and worse every month. We fear an 887 sitiation for 191 visa applicants soon.... I would love to hear your insights about what else could be done. Happy New Year to you and your team .
Well indeed it takes more than 17 months for 186 visas to get processed in metro. 1-3 months is for regional 186 applications. I didnt understand why you stuck with the same employer while waiting grant for 191, isnt it independent from employer?

@esevb because we need to comply with our 494 visa conditions while awaiting for PR. So even if the application is independent, the time while awaiting for the grant is not...
Hi Karl! Just wanted to say thank you for all your hardwork & dedication in putting up awesome informative videos. We received our PR late 2024, finally after waiting for our invitation in more than 3 yrs. From student visa to temp grad to PR, we did them ourselves & you've been part of that journey. More power & have a wonderful 2025 to you & everyone who are still on their visa journey ❤
Hello Karl, thanks for your information videos. Does DE 186 require 3 years of full time work experience or can casual work be considered? Every agent says that full time is required.
Happy New Year Karl, this's my 1st time reaching out for assistance. At my age, I've decided to take 180 degree turn and make a fresh start, leaving everything behind. Could you kindly let me know your preferred method of contact - email, zoom, or another option? I look forward to your response and greatly appreciate your time and help in advance.
hi Carl , I am on a 482 visa and worked with one employer for 2 years. Then, I spent 2 months waiting to switch to another employer. I resigned a few days ago and recently learned that the timeframe to find a new employer has been extended to 180 days instead of 2 months. My question is: do I have the full 180 days, or should I deduct the 2 months I spent during my first employer change, even though it happened before the new law came into effect?
For 482 visa holders, to apply for 186. We need to have a work experience of 3 years while holding 482 visa. If you h e a previous work experience it doesn’t matter. If you check eligibility for 186 visa. It Cleary states 3 years of work experience required holding 482 visa. Not sure why on this video Karl said it eligible while answering that question. !!! Wrong Information !!!
Hi Karl, my lawyer lodged my 186 visa on the day of my 45th birthday at 5am. Has that put my visa at risk? They were meant submit the application the day before. Thank you for all the information you provide.
Hi Carl, I hope you are doing okay. This year in May I will be eligible to apply 191, but I just saw 8579 condition it says you should not have spent 90 days per annum outside DRA, myself being primary applicant didn't spend more than 34 days per annum but secondary applicant (my wife) has spent 93 days in 2023. The first time, she spent 34 days in Feb-Mar 2023 and then 59 days Oct-Nov 2023. Will that affect the decision for 191? Thank you
Happy New Year, Karl! Please point us to the right direction how to start petition for age concession for those who were given TSS482 before 45 to allow TRT.
Hi Karl, as you planning on releasing a more detailed video about the 482 visa, could you explain how it works with changing sponsors? Is it gonna be possible to add the 2 years full-time employment together from different employers, or does it need to be for 1 employer only? Also, once your new employer nominates you, will you get a new visa granted for 2 years or will you remain on the same visa?
Hi Karl, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Do you think the next government might abolish the policy of two-year 482 to 186 for applicants with low-skill occupations? I am so worried about this because by May, I will have just completed one year of sponsorship. Thank you so much and I can't wait to watch more videos on your channel.🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for the info Karl, Could you elaborate more on the SID visa essential pathway for a childcare worker? The majority of childcare workers that need sponsorship earns below 70k/year.
Hope everything is okay Karl. Could you please talk about the 186 direct entry stream too in your future video about the 482 and 186 trt visa that you mentioned? Thanks.
Hi Karl,Happy New Year! Sorry for insisting on this topic, but I believe this document creates a lot of confusion for those on the 491 visa and want to apply to the 191. I was wondering if the document disclosed in August 2023, titled "Requirements of Condition 8579 in relation to Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491), Reference: FA 23/07/00752," might alter the criteria regarding the residency requirement while on the 491 visa to qualify for the 191 visa. (This document can be found in the official Immigration Department by searching through google). This document does not mention any difference when states you have to stay in a DRA(Designated Regional Area) during 3 years to comply the 8579. As well, it mentions some scrutiny for those who stay more than 3 months outside within a year. Those really create confusion in many people in some facebook groups. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your valuable guidance. I have a question. If someone who is with 482 visa, can they apply for 186 visa before waiting for two years, if they have all experience and requirements for 186 direct entry?
ive been with my employer from january 2023 up to present (exactly 2years) under employer sponsor 482 visa . i still have 18 months left in my visa but im sure im eligible for trt 186.. the problem is my employer doesnt want to sponsor anymore since theyr a but dodgy and i reported my manager to HR and theyr not happy about it, i guess my question is there any other option to go for 186 or Pr visa without my employer . hope to hear from u. thanks
@ i know i have other options like going for 491 and 190, but i guess its impossible to go for trt 186 without my managers approval. the good thing is i still have 18 months left on my visa
I’m in same situation as you 😢they said they will do 186 as I came to my employer on 482 transfer , but I had issue with manager I complained to HR so now they are saying they dont sponsor
@@SKY.GOLD.279 it sucks.. manager in my place is such a bully, like they asked me to work extra shift, then once ive done the work, they wont pay and will cancel my normal shift so they dont need to pay double..
Hi Karl!! Hope you get healed from your stitches soon!! I just wanted to ask about my case: my partner and I are on the former 482 temporary sponsorship visa (granted in August 2024) and she already meets all the requirements for applying for the 186 direct entry visa, includin the positive skills assessment and 4.5+ years of work recognized in ger field. We just didn't applied for the 186 visa at that time cause her skills assessment took longer to be approved. Could you let us know if we alao can apply for the 186 direct entry visa before the two years even if we are on the moment the former 482 visa? Her profession is still on the Core Skills Occupation List. Thanks in advance for everything!!
Hi Karl Would it be possible for you to do another video on the 191 visa regional stream residency requirement. There is a video and post shared on social media going around someone's 191 visa got rejected because he stayed more than 3 months overseas. If possible could you check that if the rejection is genuine or not?
Hi! Thanks for your help. I’m 45 years old and I currently hold the 482 Visa. Can I extend or apply for the same Visa again? That’s what the lawyer of the Childcare centre told me but I can’t trust him because he didn’t tell me that I could have applied to the 186 Visa direct entry instead of the 482. I let him know that my goal was to obtain my PR, that’s what I was offered, sponsorship and then PR but he gave me and the centre misleading and inaccurate information. Now I know it’s too late for the PR 😢. I’ve been in Australia for more than 8 years and the nightmare of the Visas never ends.😢 Thanks.
Hi Karl, I'm a specialist physician, and I have recently received a substantially comparable outcome in my skill assessment by the RACP. I am 45 years and 9 months old so can I ask for a 186 visa from my employer or should I expect them to offer SID 482 only.
Hi Karl, my partner employer wants to sponsor her under the 186 Direct entry stream. She works as a childcare worker (group leader) we were waiting for the 3 years experience to apply for the 494 as we live in Gold Coast but with the new CSOL she already has the 3 years experience as a regular childcare worker. The problem we are experiencing is that she needs a skill assessment but ACECQA is not doing skill assessment for regular childcare worker, so we are stuck with a Skill in the CSOL but no assessing authority willing to do the skill assessment. Do you have any information in regard to this topic? Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. Does working part time, and casual but with full 38hrs per week could be considered in Direct Entry 186? My agent is considering to apply for 186 instead of 482, but i did few gaps from moving to different employers and working casual with agencies but with fulltime schedule.
What will happen to the 482 nomination and visa application if you applied for 186 direct entry because you are now qualified to apply for 186 direct entry under the new rule? Do you need to withdraw the 482 nomination and visa application before you lodge the 186 direct entry?
Hi, Thanks for another great video. Is a person whom is currently on a 482 visa able to go on to a 186 visa even though their skill has been taken of the skilled list ?
I have another question: I have already completed the required time between the two employers to apply for the 186 TRT. However, I am currently unemployed. Is there any way to apply for the 186 TRT on my own without an employer to nominate me?
Hey Karl, for 835 remaining relative visa. Does an applicant must have all relatives as either PR or citizens at the time of application or this applies at the time of the grant?
@@ailsaustralia So, if I understand correctly, while the PhD study is underway (say 2 years past of 5 year program), one can apply for 189 / 190 , and if eoi accepted, can change the status during PhD. ? Plz elaborate
From when can one start counting work experience for Cook in the EOI, if they studied in Australia and have completed the JRP: Is it from when they finish Certificate III or Certificate IV? What happens with the weeks one didn’t work due to vacations when counting years of experience? Thank you very much.
Hi Karl, Retail / Hospital pharmacist is on the CSOL do international pharmacists with provisional AHPRA registration qualify for the 186DE if the meet all other criteria except not having general AHPRA registration?
Yes, but good luck finding a employer that will sponsor you, it seems employers prefer to hire pharmacists from western countries. Theres seems to be a mass abundance of applications from people from India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Egypt, UAE, Phillipines from my personal experience.
Hi Karl when we apply for second post study visa regional (485) will that grant cease the first one and start additional year from the date of second visa grant or from the date of first 485 end date?
Hello Karl..Thank you for your informative vedio...i actually have a query something out of this vedios context. But if you could please let us know if traffic offences like speeding fines have impact of visa outcomes per say 191 visa???? I have got mixed answers....which im not sure. Please share your information. Thanks in advance....
Hi Karl, Hope this message finds you well. I came to Australia three months ago through 186 ENS labour agreement. I put my wife in the application and her medical examination was conducted along with me as well But I didn’t apply for her visa along with me due to some reasons. Now I intend to apply for her visa, so can you please guide which visa class would I apply for her? Either it is 186 like me or some other visa class? Thanks in anticipation. Regards
Hi Karl, I worked on 482 visa with the first employer for 1 year 4 months and 1 year with my current employer. Can I apply for 186 Direct entry now or should I wait to complete 2 years to apply for 186 TRT stream? Thank you !
Hi Karl, Happy New Year!! Thank you for the superb and excellent advise you provide to the world of Aussie Migration. Hope you feel better soon. Thank you and I am landing to Australia with family on 6th Feb 2025 is there away I can visit and say Hi to you if possible or I need to have a prior appointment. Tc and God bless U!!
Hi Karl, is there any hope for 190 with the score of 70 for Program/Project Administrator Offshore? Submitted EOI to NSW, VIC, ACT, and QLD last year in April.
Hey Karl, Hope you’re well and nothing serious under the band aid, love you and take care😌 Thanks a lot for the update, amazing content as always. I think those appeals will not finalised anyway, those onshore will continue finishing their degrees under bridging visa but it will be interesting to find out what will they do after their case become irrelevant after their graduation😅even getting tourist visa from another country can be challanging in some cases because of unfair visa refusal and not getting decision from aat. About 186 visa there is a huuuge unfair situation going on, they call it prioritisation but its more like discrimination. There are metro applicants waiting more than 17 months whereas regional applications gets processed in 3 months even 1 month in some cases. Last year in april the department stated in an email that they the allocated quota has exhausted and they will resume processing on new financial year. And this year they keep giving grants to new applicants on reginal area which causes keep feeding the pipeline. I understand they are doing that because of low rental vacancies in big cities but there are big problems with that; 1-I saw a lot of facebook posts people asking if they can leave their employer after receiving grant even saw someone asking if they can work with someoneelse after they arrive australia. Offshore regional applicants get processed earlier but they keep adding up population of metro cities. 2-I am 186trt applicant applied on dec 2023, at the time i applied the requirement to apply trt was still 3 years, soon there will be more applicants applying trt because they reduced it to 2 years. And with current regional arrangements it will keep feeding the pipeline. I feels like it will never end. 3-Everytime they open a file from metro they re ask updated documents including medical assesment, i’m single its ok but families already have cost of living burden in big cities they also payin more for schools, their children cant attend good schools as they are not pr there are heaps of disadvantages of staying in bridging visa for 17 months. For myself i just pray that my landlord would renew contract because i know its not possible to rent somewhere else in bridging visa. I have to apply another bridging visa everytime i need to go overseas and if something urgent happens with my family in overseas i will pay again for bridging b and have worry waiting approval of it and its so annoying. I could earn more, but I have to stay dependant to my employer and i dont have much negotiation power, i cant change jobs its all burden. I seriously dont understand, i applied 482 as a software engineer during covid when borders were closed, my occupation was on pmsol and my visa approved in 1 day, everyone was leaving, the market was tight and salaries went up really high in tech, they were desperetely needing those people at that time and now they apply the same approach they do to those waiting for parent visas. I might be closer to the end of pipeline but i’m not sure of that. For new applicants i seriously wish good luck. I dont recommend to apply 186 from metro at all.
Hi! Karl I have started full time work in company from 13/01/2023 and after 01/07/2023, due to my partner on student visa, I worked 24 hours a week till 30/06/2024 and after that, I started work full time till now. I am on 482 visa right now, can I apply for sc186 (trt stream)? And if no, then when I will be eligible to apply? (e.g. date or month) Please give me suggestion/Answer/ reply…
How long will it take for 189 visa PR to be granted if I have submitted everything on January 2, 2025. My occupation is Civil Engineering Draftsperson completed from Western Australia 🦘🌏. I think construction industry is in priority list. Thank you.
Hi Karl, I got my JRFA outcome (chef and cook) on 30th January 2024. My 482 medium stream visa already lodged but it is still pending. So, by the time completing 2 years on 482 visa my JRFA will expire . So, will I be able to apply 186 TRT without skill assessment? or any other option to skip the skill assessment?
I moved to Australia in February 2024 on a student visa. During my semester break in December, I went to Bangladesh, got married, and returned to Australia. In the near future, I plan to bring my spouse on a subsequent entry visa. Do I need to inform the Department of Home Affairs about my change in marital status before applying for a subsequent entry visa for my spouse?
Of course you left and git married then coming back to bring your family over . That’s one less house for the existing population. Will you bringing your parents over to , then hers . Or the whole family tree ??
I received my 482 in Aug 2023, but I will be completing 3 years with my current employer in early March. Will I be eligible to apply for the 186 TRT/DE stream without completing the 2 years on 482?
Hi I am from India and recently I applied for 482 visa since 8 month ago. I finished my PCC step and now I only waiting for their response since 2 months . So can you please tell me how much time is required in this process.
@ Student visas reached a high of 713,144 as of February 2024 - easily exceeding the pre-COVID peak of 633,816 as of September 2019. I don’t understand your point…?

Hi Karl, is it fine to change your job from the nominated occupation while your on VIC 491 Bridging ? Will I need to update on IMMI? Will it affect my visa grant ? Toxic workplace so really want to change Pls reply. Help much appreciated.
You always need to update employment changes on your Immi account. On the 491 visa of course it does not matter what job you do or even if you don't work at all.
hi sir i am shakeel from bangladesh sir i have a lot of experience in farming and ameen i love this kind of work and i can help a lot of experience please and if anyone wants to take me please let me know

Hi karl happy new year. Just wondering if there is any chance that the age requirements for TR would change anytime soon. Thank you.
I dont expect to see any change if this government remains in power i'm afraid
Dear Karl, I hope you feeling okay, no health issue. Best wishes❤
Sorry for my bad english
Hi Karl saw you have a bandaid on, I hope everything is okay. Would you be able to make a video on the ever increasing 191 visa processing time?
So that the DHA can turn their attention to this matter just like how you did it on the minimum income threshold issue in 491 visa.
Per the immigration website, the processing time is now 9 months. And it keeps increasing. A very significant increase compared to early 2023. For a visa that costs ‘only’ $500, the processing time doesnt make any sense.
As a 491 holder who has just lodged 191 application, Im so stressed out as it feels like Im stuck in an ‘unfair game’ as DHA keeps changing the rule of the game / moving the goalpost (by keep increasing the processing time). In addition, not having a PR holds me back in terms of career progression as there are jobs out there requiring PR visa.
Thank you for your help and for all those very informative videos Karl!
Thanks, just a few stitches, much appreciated! Yes the processing times are getting out of hand for the 191 visa, something we are going to focus on.
@ thank you for your help Karl!
Compliments of the new season, Karl. As usual, you always deliver 🎉
Thank you same to you!
Hi Karl, I Wish you happy New year. Could you please advise, what is the current processing time for 491 Subsequent entrant Visa? thanks

hi Carl , I am on a 482 visa and worked with one employer for 2 years. Then, I spent 2 months waiting to switch to another employer. I resigned a few days ago and recently learned that the timeframe to find a new employer has been extended to 180 days instead of 2 months.
My question is: do I have the full 180 days, or should I deduct the 2 months I spent during my first employer change, even though it happened before the new law came into effect?

As well, it mentions some scrutiny for those who stay more than 3 months outside within a year. Those really create confusion in many people in some facebook groups.
Thank you!
There is no confusion, you can live in any part of rgional Australia for any amount of time whilst on a 491
Thank you very much for your valuable guidance. I have a question. If someone who is with 482 visa, can they apply for 186 visa before waiting for two years, if they have all experience and requirements for 186 direct entry?
ive been with my employer from january 2023 up to present (exactly 2years) under employer sponsor 482 visa . i still have 18 months left in my visa but im sure im eligible for trt 186.. the problem is my employer doesnt want to sponsor anymore since theyr a but dodgy and i reported my manager to HR and theyr not happy about it, i guess my question is there any other option to go for 186 or Pr visa without my employer . hope to hear from u. thanks
Going to PR without your employer maybe complicated so please book a time to discuss
@ i know i have other options like going for 491 and 190, but i guess its impossible to go for trt 186 without my managers approval. the good thing is i still have 18 months left on my visa
I’m in same situation as you 😢they said they will do 186 as I came to my employer on 482 transfer , but I had issue with manager I complained to HR so now they are saying they dont sponsor
@@SKY.GOLD.279 it sucks.. manager in my place is such a bully, like they asked me to work extra shift, then once ive done the work, they wont pay and will cancel my normal shift so they dont need to pay double..
Hi Karl!! Hope you get healed from your stitches soon!!
I just wanted to ask about my case: my partner and I are on the former 482 temporary sponsorship visa (granted in August 2024) and she already meets all the requirements for applying for the 186 direct entry visa, includin the positive skills assessment and 4.5+ years of work recognized in ger field. We just didn't applied for the 186 visa at that time cause her skills assessment took longer to be approved.
Could you let us know if we alao can apply for the 186 direct entry visa before the two years even if we are on the moment the former 482 visa? Her profession is still on the Core Skills Occupation List.
Thanks in advance for everything!!
Hi Karl
Would it be possible for you to do another video on the 191 visa regional stream residency requirement. There is a video and post shared on social media going around someone's 191 visa got rejected because he stayed more than 3 months overseas. If possible could you check that if the rejection is genuine or not?
Please I would like to know more about DAMA visa ...thank you
hi Karl! hope you could make a video about childcare worker’s pathway to PR, please 🙏🏻
Yep will do
Hi! Thanks for your help.
I’m 45 years old and I currently hold the 482 Visa.
Can I extend or apply for the same Visa again?
That’s what the lawyer of the Childcare centre told me but I can’t trust him because he didn’t tell me that I could have applied to the 186 Visa direct entry instead of the 482. I let him know that my goal was to obtain my PR, that’s what I was offered, sponsorship and then PR but he gave me and the centre misleading and inaccurate information. Now I know it’s too late for the PR 😢. I’ve been in Australia for more than 8 years and the nightmare of the Visas never ends.😢
Thanks.
Discuss the bridging humanitarian visa please in your next episode. It would appear such applications are in humanely dumped and forgotten
Im not sure which visa you are reffering to?
@ailsaustralia visa 010 bridging humanitarian Visa
Hi Karl, I'm a specialist physician, and I have recently received a substantially comparable outcome in my skill assessment by the RACP. I am 45 years and 9 months old so can I ask for a 186 visa from my employer or should I expect them to offer SID 482 only.
Hi Karl, my partner employer wants to sponsor her under the 186 Direct entry stream.
She works as a childcare worker (group leader) we were waiting for the 3 years experience to apply for the 494 as we live in Gold Coast but with the new CSOL she already has the 3 years experience as a regular childcare worker.
The problem we are experiencing is that she needs a skill assessment but ACECQA is not doing skill assessment for regular childcare worker, so we are stuck with a Skill in the CSOL but no assessing authority willing to do the skill assessment.
Do you have any information in regard to this topic?
Thank you.
It is a good point and we will address it
Hi Karl,
Is it compulsory to get skill assessment for 482, if I had studied(cookery) in Australia.
Thanks
Thank you so much for this video. Does working part time, and casual but with full 38hrs per week could be considered in Direct Entry 186? My agent is considering to apply for 186 instead of 482, but i did few gaps from moving to different employers and working casual with agencies but with fulltime schedule.
The DE stream just requires 3 years of work experience and makes no mention of casual or part time distinctions
Why is it taking so long processing times for the 190 visas? Please do talk about it. Happy new year!
We will next week
What will happen to the 482 nomination and visa application if you applied for 186 direct entry because you are now qualified to apply for 186 direct entry under the new rule? Do you need to withdraw the 482 nomination and visa application before you lodge the 186 direct entry?
No you can just lodged the 186 as well
Hi,
Thanks for another great video. Is a person whom is currently on a 482 visa able to go on to a 186 visa even though their skill has been taken of the skilled list ?
No for 186 DE your occupation must be on the list but for the TRT 186 there is no list
I have another question: I have already completed the required time between the two employers to apply for the 186 TRT. However, I am currently unemployed. Is there any way to apply for the 186 TRT on my own without an employer to nominate me?
Hey Karl, for 835 remaining relative visa. Does an applicant must have all relatives as either PR or citizens at the time of application or this applies at the time of the grant?
Please book a time to dicuss complex questions
Query
Can a PhD student on subclass 500 can apply for 189 / 190 , and change status while on AUS SOIL.
Any student can actually.
@tosinalaka4517 any limitations in change of status
@karl your opinion will be appreciated as well
Yep any student answer is correct
@@ailsaustralia So, if I understand correctly, while the PhD study is underway (say 2 years past of 5 year program), one can apply for 189 / 190 , and if eoi accepted, can change the status during PhD. ? Plz elaborate
From when can one start counting work experience for Cook in the EOI, if they studied in Australia and have completed the JRP: Is it from when they finish Certificate III or Certificate IV? What happens with the weeks one didn’t work due to vacations when counting years of experience? Thank you very much.
Cook ANZSCO is Cert III so from then
Hi Karl, Retail / Hospital pharmacist is on the CSOL do international pharmacists with provisional AHPRA registration qualify for the 186DE if the meet all other criteria except not having general AHPRA registration?
Yes, but good luck finding a employer that will sponsor you, it seems employers prefer to hire pharmacists from western countries. Theres seems to be a mass abundance of applications from people from India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Egypt, UAE, Phillipines from my personal experience.
You need a full skill assessment for DE 186. You could use the 482 get registration then do DE
Hi Carl, is it possible to take on an upskilling job from light vehicle mechanic to heavy diesel mechanic while on the 482 visa?
321212 is the ANZSCO for Deisel Mechanic please check what was the ANZSCO nominated in the 482 application. If the same you can.
Hi Karl when we apply for second post study visa regional (485) will that grant cease the first one and start additional year from the date of second visa grant or from the date of first 485 end date?
The additional year starts from the end of the last one
@ Thank you so much Karl
Hello Karl..Thank you for your informative vedio...i actually have a query something out of this vedios context. But if you could please let us know if traffic offences like speeding fines have impact of visa outcomes per say 191 visa???? I have got mixed answers....which im not sure. Please share your information. Thanks in advance....
Traffic offences have no bearing upon a PR application, only criminal offences
@ailsaustralia Thank you so much
Thank you Karl and get well soon
Thanks, just a few stitches, much appreciated!
How long do you need to work on the 482 visa before you can apply for the 186?
For the TRT stream, 2 years
What if we are in a de facto for 190 and me and my partner (with competent english and skilled) got married before grant, is there any issue with it?
are you okay Karl...
Hi Karl,
Hope this message finds you well.
I came to Australia three months ago through 186 ENS labour agreement. I put my wife in the application and her medical examination was conducted along with me as well But I didn’t apply for her visa along with me due to some reasons.
Now I intend to apply for her visa, so can you please guide which visa class would I apply for her? Either it is 186 like me or some other visa class?
Thanks in anticipation.
Regards
If you are already a PR holder then partner visa is the only pathway that seems suitable

Hi Karl, I worked on 482 visa with the first employer for 1 year 4 months and 1 year with my current employer. Can I apply for 186 Direct entry now or should I wait to complete 2 years to apply for 186 TRT stream?
Thank you !
Hi Karl, Happy New Year!! Thank you for the superb and excellent advise you provide to the world of Aussie Migration. Hope you feel better soon. Thank you and I am landing to Australia with family on 6th Feb 2025 is there away I can visit and say Hi to you if possible or I need to have a prior appointment. Tc and God bless U!!
Thanks, just a few stiches, much appreciated! These days we don't spend much time in the office but I hope you have a safe flight
Hi Karl, is there any hope for 190 with the score of 70 for Program/Project Administrator Offshore? Submitted EOI to NSW, VIC, ACT, and QLD last year in April.
Sorry I wish I could answer such questions but that is not possible. Best of luck!
Hey Karl,
Hope you’re well and nothing serious under the band aid, love you and take care😌
Thanks a lot for the update, amazing content as always.
I think those appeals will not finalised anyway, those onshore will continue finishing their degrees under bridging visa but it will be interesting to find out what will they do after their case become irrelevant after their graduation😅even getting tourist visa from another country can be challanging in some cases because of unfair visa refusal and not getting decision from aat.
About 186 visa there is a huuuge unfair situation going on, they call it prioritisation but its more like discrimination. There are metro applicants waiting more than 17 months whereas regional applications gets processed in 3 months even 1 month in some cases. Last year in april the department stated in an email that they the allocated quota has exhausted and they will resume processing on new financial year. And this year they keep giving grants to new applicants on reginal area which causes keep feeding the pipeline. I understand they are doing that because of low rental vacancies in big cities but there are big problems with that;
1-I saw a lot of facebook posts people asking if they can leave their employer after receiving grant even saw someone asking if they can work with someoneelse after they arrive australia. Offshore regional applicants get processed earlier but they keep adding up population of metro cities.
2-I am 186trt applicant applied on dec 2023, at the time i applied the requirement to apply trt was still 3 years, soon there will be more applicants applying trt because they reduced it to 2 years. And with current regional arrangements it will keep feeding the pipeline. I feels like it will never end.
3-Everytime they open a file from metro they re ask updated documents including medical assesment, i’m single its ok but families already have cost of living burden in big cities they also payin more for schools, their children cant attend good schools as they are not pr there are heaps of disadvantages of staying in bridging visa for 17 months. For myself i just pray that my landlord would renew contract because i know its not possible to rent somewhere else in bridging visa. I have to apply another bridging visa everytime i need to go overseas and if something urgent happens with my family in overseas i will pay again for bridging b and have worry waiting approval of it and its so annoying. I could earn more, but I have to stay dependant to my employer and i dont have much negotiation power, i cant change jobs its all burden.
I seriously dont understand, i applied 482 as a software engineer during covid when borders were closed, my occupation was on pmsol and my visa approved in 1 day, everyone was leaving, the market was tight and salaries went up really high in tech, they were desperetely needing those people at that time and now they apply the same approach they do to those waiting for parent visas.
I might be closer to the end of pipeline but i’m not sure of that.
For new applicants i seriously wish good luck. I dont recommend to apply 186 from metro at all.
Thanks, just a few stitches, much appreciated! Yes the issue of processing times is one we will be addressing next week
Hi! Karl
I have started full time work in company from 13/01/2023 and after 01/07/2023, due to my partner on student visa, I worked 24 hours a week till 30/06/2024 and after that, I started work full time till now.
I am on 482 visa right now, can I apply for sc186 (trt stream)? And if no, then when I will be eligible to apply? (e.g. date or month)
Please give me suggestion/Answer/ reply…
You need two years on a 482 to go to the 186 TRT stream
After granted 186 visa. Is it .possible to leave the current sponsor with in 3 months??
Yes
How long will it take for 189 visa PR to be granted if I have submitted everything on January 2, 2025. My occupation is Civil Engineering Draftsperson completed from Western Australia 🦘🌏. I think construction industry is in priority list. Thank you.
Hi Karl, I got my JRFA outcome (chef and cook) on 30th January 2024. My 482 medium stream visa already lodged but it is still pending. So, by the time completing 2 years on 482 visa my JRFA will expire . So, will I be able to apply 186 TRT without skill assessment? or any other option to skip the skill assessment?
You do not need SA for the TRT process
@@ailsaustraliamy 482 medium stream is still pending. By the time I am completing 3 years so can I switch to 186 before 482 grant?
I moved to Australia in February 2024 on a student visa. During my semester break in December, I went to Bangladesh, got married, and returned to Australia. In the near future, I plan to bring my spouse on a subsequent entry visa.
Do I need to inform the Department of Home Affairs about my change in marital status before applying for a subsequent entry visa for my spouse?
Of course you left and git married then coming back to bring your family over .
That’s one less house for the existing population.
Will you bringing your parents over to , then hers .
Or the whole family tree ??
I received my 482 in Aug 2023, but I will be completing 3 years with my current employer in early March. Will I be eligible to apply for the 186 TRT/DE stream without completing the 2 years on 482?
The DE stream has requirements but if you meet them you can apply anytime
Hi I am from India and recently I applied for 482 visa since 8 month ago. I finished my PCC step and now I only waiting for their response since 2 months . So can you please tell me how much time is required in this process.
There is no way of knowing that I'm afraid but hopefully it can be soon

Hi Karl, thank you for the video and Happy 2025 to AILS team🎉.. I hope you are ok , Saw a bandage on your cheek
Thanks Hasitha just a few stictches and I will be fine! Happy NY to you too!
What about 491 visa offshore!
It is still there!
I hope the new government comes down hard on student visa numbers. It’s totally insane at the moment, changing the entire make up of Australia.
Not really in fact less than it was before the pandemic so nothing has changed
@ Student visas reached a high of 713,144 as of February 2024 - easily exceeding the pre-COVID peak of 633,816 as of September 2019.
I don’t understand your point…?
Hi i come here for bachelor of community service and change to diploma and completed the certificate 4 and now i am doing bachelor of nursing how it will be my visa granted
Thank you for your response
Does not affect your visa but you may need to apply for another one to finish your course
Can i make a paid appointment with you?
Yes just go to our website or call the office
Hi Karl,
is it fine to change your job from the nominated occupation while your on VIC 491 Bridging ? Will I need to update on IMMI? Will it affect my visa grant ? Toxic workplace so really want to change
Pls reply. Help much appreciated.
You always need to update employment changes on your Immi account. On the 491 visa of course it does not matter what job you do or even if you don't work at all.
