Australian Immigration News 20th April 24. How regional Australia misses out due to the TSMIT + more

- Victoria closes its sponsorship invitations this week for the 491 and 190 visas.
Applying the TSMIT minimum of 70K to regional employers trying to sponsor their staff destroys the hopes of many businesses to take advantage of the migration boom.
We interview a chef working in regional NSW as an example.
VETASSESS skill assessments for trade workers will become fairer starting this week.

The new DAMA occupation list is out with 128 new occupations!

Best channel for the Australian Immigration news. Thanks Karl, we appreciate for your efforts.
Thanks Amanpreet for your continued support!
Thanks Karl !! You are doing a fantastic job. Every overseas migrant is doing work and helping every Australians whether they are in critical or hospitality sector. Govt should understand this. Hoping for the better future here !! 🤞
Hope so, cant' be worse than this year! Thanks for the positive feedback
Not much work in Australia now.
The rent has gone up you can not survive here.
Hi Karl thanks for helping and sharing your knowledge
Your welcome!
As always thanks Karl!
My pleasure!
As always Karl .. thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching
It is indeed nice of VETASSESS to change this feature so we can send the docs first and have them checked beforehand. It would have saved me so much time, headaches and money so I welcome it for everyone from now on :)
Also about the TSMIT yes I agree its so difficult to find a job that is over the requirement. I have been so lucky to have it increased from 1st of July last year but, being in regional QLD, if I wanted to change company, I would have to reconsider it sooooo much, because not everyone can pay over 70k
@ailsaustralia - did you notice that DoHA have updated their glossary? I hadn't seen any public releases from them to this effect, but interestingly, they seem to have amended the definition of 'Work'. Up until a few months ago, it stated that certain activities did not meet the definition of work in Australia, such as doing your job remotely in your home country, volunteer activities, etc. But now all of those have been removed....
You’re not alone Jessica, it’s truly sad. Hopefully this could address to the immigration body.
Thanks for your support
Jessica you are right girl at least you done your skill assessment within 2 years but my skill assessment still on process to slow make me crazy
Thank you
You're welcome, thanks for watching
Finally got my Skills Assessment. It took Vet 11 months to process it. That is double their stated processing times. Had I have known I would have paid for priority processing. I am nearing 40 and have lost so much time, which obviously won't go in my favour. With 15 years of top tier experience as Marketing Specialist (most of which worked in Aus) they have awarded me 5.8 years of experience. Meaning I am only worth 80 points. Clients include Commbank, Westpac, Bunnings, Sports Direct, Qantas. They want the best talent and yet are unequipped to process consultants / contractors. The whole thing has been a complete joke and cost thousands in legals and accountant costs.
Thanks for information
Welcome
Thank you for this video sir, I hope I can find sponsorship .. I'm a Auto Electrician III I'm here already in Australia
Are they going to change the point system anytime soon? The point system needs to be adjusted for people who are working in Australia for a long time, not just calculating the age but calculating a lot of that experience awarding more points for people who stayed here for more than 8 years like myself
Hi Karl,
Thanks for always keeping us informed. Your efforts regarding migrant issues is much appreciated.
I wanted to ask if the Commonwealth has exhausted the 189 slots for the 2023/ 2024 FY. Last I checked, there were only 8300 invites out of the 30,000 slots allocated to the 189 GSM.
Remember the slots you see on migration planning level has nothing to do with invitations being issued. That planning level is for visa grant, and DOHA in theory can again issue 35k invites like back in 8 Dec 2022, overshooting planning level so more people can lodge their 189 visa.
As for 2023-2024, my theory is because DOHA barely issue any, and they keep processing on hand applications, the backlog should go down steadily. Will they go back to more regular monthly (or even fortnightly back in 2016/2017 iirc) invites model remains to be seen.
There were many given out in the previous FY so no doubt they may have taken many places
Hey Carl,
I heard that only students graduating from regional university are eligible for extension for visa 485.
Is this "extension" refer to the current second TGV, where applicants are only eligible if they have stayed in regional area during their first TGV?
Cheers
Asalamolaekum thanks for your kind information. Do you think is it the right time to apply for Skill Assessment as you said that visa quotas already exhausted? Should we apply after the announcement of new ? Please guide
Nice points:-)
Glad you like them!
Fantastic information as usual Karl! Do you know when/if South West WA DAMA list will be updated to add more occupations? Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. I think there will be flow on effect but can't say for sure, sorry
It has been updated this week already.
@@bitesofaustralia thanks, do you mean South West WA region? I know South Australia was updated.
hi Karl.I had applied for 491 through Rda Nsw in June 2023 but no luck.. have u any insight about the delay?
$70K for anyone in hospitality is extremely difficult.
The only winners are the employers
Even they loose for they cannot sponsor
Everybody lose tbh. Employer can’t afford to pay those workers for sponsorship. Employee can’t lodge sponsorship application due to not being paid enough, and local government loses money on taxes when workers are forced to either move interstate or move back to their home country. I don’t understand why NSW thinks $70k salary is a good idea.
If an employer is not willing to pay $70k, then they are not in desperate need of that individual/employee
@@Aussie_Globetrotter this comment is completely devoid of business capacity and various other factors. Like employees, businesses also want to minimise the cost while trying to retain quality employees. If they simply cannot afford $70k per year based on employee skills and qualifications, then they can’t. It’s the government’s fault that sets up unrealistic expectations towards regional community, restricting who can apply for sponsorship.
@estellebright2579 you're saying it's fine for a business to make $$$ profits by paying minimum wages to an employee?? Of course, it's only migrants who would settle for a minimum wage to work in some remote town just so that the employer can make profits. Where's the fairness?? If at all anything, this is pure abuse of the migration system. Moreover, with the current cost of living, would you be willing to work for $60k?
You're only speaking on behalf of people on one side of the table. Also, if you want loyal long-term employees, PAY THEM A DECENT WAGE
Its terrible that the TSMIT is applied for those who have been working hard in regional areas where its almost impossible to get that 70k annually. My friend after living and working in regional NSW for more than 3 years had to come back to Sydney city to get sponsorship visa(482) as not even woolworths were ready to pay 70k annually for level 5 Baker over there. What a shame
NSW is a horrible state. WA is much better for 491...
Yes it certainly does not help regional NSW
What about people on 491 since 2021?Are they going to be affected by the new TSMIT?I thought that there was zero minimum income due to an error in writing the law
191 visa does not have a TSMIT requirement
Not much work in Australia now.
The rent has gone up you can not survive here.
another informative update, thanks
Our pleasure!
Hello Karl, Yesterday I have cleared skill assessment through TRA after 7 months of application. I am planning to nominate for NSW through Pathway 2. Any idea on when state nomination will get open for NSW?
Hey Karl. Any updates on the 485 changes?
I turned 35 earlier this year and I'm supposed to get my mechanic certificate in July 7th.
How unfair would it be to have my application denied because of 7 days! 😢
We are waiting too to find out. Stay tuned
I'm in the same position @downpipe
Cutting age like this is bound to be unfair to people no matter when they decide to implement it, unless they put transitional arrangements but that seems unlikely.
@@estellebright2579why do you say that? may be they will right? we are halfway through the course and already 35+ 🤷🏻♀️
@@user-pg9vc8ds5m if DOHA had any level of intention to reverse the course of such controversial change, some information would be leaked already. Obviously we all hope DOHA will reverse the course or at least put something in place so that people who started the course before age change would not be disadvantaged. However based on some of the recent policy change debacles, I am skeptical.
Hey Karl, great video as always.
I was wondering the 482 to 186 pathway to Pr has been down to 2 years from 3 since November 2023.
The department website says all streams.
Does that include labour agreement 482 streams?
The Dama RDA says I have to wait 3 years because the department hasn't made it clear.
yeah that is a little trick for they could reduce it to two years but it would have to say that in the DAMA agreement as well. Thanks Christian for the feedback
@@ailsaustralia Thank you Karl, since the Labour Agreement was finalised before the changes, does that mean that my employer can amend it so I qualify for 2 years instead of 3?
Once again, thank you for being a voice for all of us that wake up with a feeling of uncertainty every morning.
Great question, just to be clear is the DAMA also reducing to 2 years for sure? Also if you have a DAMA in place before the change will it automatically reduce to 2 years when the change comes in? Thanks again!
Hi Karl, any update
regarding the 35 age limit for 485 visa affecting to current students? no one says anything about this and it’s stressful to us.
Nothing heard as yet we are all waiting
Carl could you please highlight whether 476 visa subsequent applications can be continued after July? I love my wife. I'd like to call her to Australia. I cant live alone.
Hi Karl
Hope you are well.
People who applied 191 visa after 491 skilled work regional visa, why immigration case officers are asking 35 hours work limit? There is no income requirement but 3 NOA from ATO then why they are asking such documents because many people are doing casual, part time jobs and they are not full time or 35 hours in week. Please shed light on this issue.
Thanks
Yes! I have seen this on some Facebook groups as well - and they appear to be legitimate. Hope this one will be discussed!
I think someone should FOI DOHA’s 191 visa policy document. Visa applicants deserve to know better.
The 191 visa requires no set time you have to work or indeed you don't have to work at all and you can give them $0 income on your tax assessmnt notice. None of our clients who have been granted their PR have been asked for evidence how much they they worked. So full time or part time or very very part time, does not matter.
Should be good to know more details about those who are being asked for?. Did they stay in Australia during all those years?. How many hours per week they have worked?
Hi Karl, thanks for your valuable insights. When is the budget for 2024- 2025 is expected to be released ? Thanks.
Next month and thanks for the feedback
Dear Karl
could you please let me know, the 491 visa has a condition of 8579. Can we change a state? Please share your earlier video link on this or the title.
Heaps of thanks.
You may live and work in any regional part of Australia that was on the list when your visa was granted
Hey, Karl. Thank you for the updates as usual. Any idea what the new point-system will look like or when it will be announced? Thank you!
I think very similar but more points for work experience and occupations in high demand
@@ailsaustralia thank you, Karl. You are the best.
I thought 491/191 did not have any TSMIT requirement? Is it different for NSW?
This is about gaining sponsorship not about the 191 visa
Hello Karl, Just wondering if we do manage to apply for 485 Visa (POST STUDY WORK VISA) before July 1st, and the law changes where master by coursework only gets 2 years on July 1st. And then we receive the visa result on let's say July 20th, do you think the government will give us 3 years (old law) or 2 years only (new law)? Thank you so much for your help :)
As far as being able to lodge once it is in, then you are safe. About the length of time they can grant it for, that can be changed during processing
@@ailsaustralia Thank you for your answer. Still hoping (or dreaming^^) to get 3 years :)
What if I don’t have bank statements as payment evidence for some employers? Is there any alternative for VETASSESS ?
Kindly reply😊
Hi Karl can I apply use a job employment not related to my course of study
At least we see some good changes trickling here and there for the better. However, the system really can do much better and fairer without breaking governments coffer or budget.
yes your right Estelle it would not take much to improve the system
yeah, we hear less "surprise" now than we did half a year ago.
When wanting to apply to visas 190/189 as a chef,is TRA the only authority to provide with a skill assessment? (As per website information), why can’t Vetassess be used for this as well? My friend has been waiting for 10 months for it, although she has over 8 years of experience between NZ and AUS.
If your friend has that much work experience she should explore other options. Countries around the world still loves people with heaps of work experiences.
When they open up again Im sure you will be able to
@@estellebright2579 all her brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces live here, so she wants to be closer to them, and I think is fair.
@@MacarenaScussel She still should explore other visa options, potentially utilising her extensive family ties in Australia here to her advantage if possible.
Mr Karl any update about the backlog visas
Nothing to report
Meanwhile British and HongKong nationals are exempted from graduate visa age requirements. Age limit 35 years or under do not apply to them. What an irony!
Hi Carl, do you think they will pardon current students on the 485 visa who are already 35
Wish I could tell you but we are waiting like everyone else to find out. They would really have to be crazy though to do it to people who already started their courses
Speaking of TRA, Carl can you make a video or file an email, upon the processing, was waiting for 8months for their outcome for TRA MSA although in the webside mention 120days, was way doubled the time waiting, thank you.
Will try but not much more we can add on what we have covered already
@@ailsaustralia Thank you, very kind of you
Hey Karl, i am a professional engineer nec occupation assessment holder ( Mechatroni cs Engineer ), i can't find much invitations for this occupation, is there any reason? Do i have a chance with 491 | 90 points with 0 experience ? And when to expect invitation, next FY?
Thanks
Just need to see what the reqirements will be so stay tuned
Hi
I currently apply for Covid extension 408
I get BVA
Now my employer agreed to sponsor me 482 Visa
Can I apply or I have to wait the decision. Before I apply
Thanks
Hi Karl,
It was another masterpiece of information from your side. Moreover can you produce a video explaining which are the occupations in paramedics scope or if it already exist please share the link.
Paramedics are a state sponsored occupation for the 190 and 491 visa. you can check out the VETASSESS website for information regarding the skill assessment requirements. Thanks for the positive feedback.
Hi Karl,
I got my commencement email on 7th March for NSW 190 visa.
Please let me know that the grant will take longer? 🙏
12-18 months should be expected currently
407 visa any update...19 jan still waiting 😢why so late,..
Hi….i needed update in the latest processing time of Australia visa subclass 407. My visa 407 was filed by my sponsor on 12th November 2021. The sponsor said by april 2024 i would get my visa grant but there no visa yet. Please guide me how to know my visa status.
I would also want to know if your firm processes australia visa subclass 407…do you know genuine firm that will help me in processing my visa subclass 407 and what would be the best processing time for the visa 407. I am pastry chef from India.
Hoping for a positive response from your side .
hi Karl any chances for Inrternal auditors..been waiitng since last 2022
I would not hold your breath but lets see in the new FY
@@ailsaustralia lol good answer! thanks Karl
Hi Karl. Thank you for your informative videos every week. Can NSW residents also apply for SA DAMA? My occupation, 'Facilities Manager,' is listed there. NSW seems quite hopeless as I haven't received an invitation for quite a long time, and my occupation is under the new Draft CSOL Confident Off List. Many are saying it will soon be removed. Any reply would be very helpful with your expertise. Thank you.
As with nearly all the states, those who live in Australia usually need to be living in that state to have any chance and also be working in their occupations. if you can get the same job there then yes it is probably worth the move but remember their is sometimes a qualifying period of work required
The policies are confusing. Do they need migrants to work in regional or not? 70k you must be a nurse or in IT. I am yet to meet anyone working in hospitality making 70k. Chefs in Brissy are making 55k. Australia might not be eating out as chefs need to go back to their country
Yes this is the main issue you are right
Typical NSW setting up unrealistic expectations for their candidates. Only increased invitation level can hopefully soften up their stances, like back in Dec 2022 where NSW reversed course in just 3 months.
I bet once the skill shortage impact is looming again, state and territory governments will scramble to respond, lowering requirements to lure more people. After that, they close the tap shutting hopes for other hopefuls who didn't make the cut. Rinse and repeat.
This year 189 had 30 k seats in the planning levels... what number could be expected in 2024-25... 20 k??
I think pprobably the same, wont be long to find out
I am not that hopeful for the next year tbh. Engineers are mostly not in demand. As per drafted CSOL list, most IT professions and engineering branches such as mechanical, chemical, production, electronics etc. are not the main target of AU migration. Apart from that, those 30k seats or whatever, include also the family members of main applicants. Number of invitations would be around 10-15 k I suppose. After mega rounds in 2022, DOHA sends invitations cautiously.
@@JanK0818 u never know ... what I have learnt with Aus migration is one year good and other one bad. And u r forgetting wastages..invites are always more than nominations
@@saadhassan7431 Yes, AUS migration is unpredictable. I hope it gets better next year. Even if the number of invitations are more than the quota like you mentioned, there is still backlog from the last year. Plus, thousands of EOIs are piled up as DOHA have been inviting only priority occupations for a while. They might apply occupation ceiling again. Anyway, I wish you luck. We all made so much efforts and could not get anything in return. AU needs fairer and more practical GSM system for both onshore and offshore applicants. So far it has exploited most of us very well.
How many days is 6 months? If you start working on 15 Jan, you only eligible to qualify after 15 July? Or as from 1 July?
6 calander months
@@ailsaustralia thanks, so as from 1 July i qualify right?
DAMA/Pathway 1 all for onshore? There are no option for offshore applicant like RDA? 😔😢😢
Offshore people can use pathway 2 which is you wait until they choose you
@@ailsaustralia Is there any hope to start RDA again next FY?
Hello Sir, when is the budget expected to be presented?
May 14, 730PM AEST.
I think the government in general has recently aimed to reduce the immigration population in Australia as much as they can so creating new rules, and new limitations in those temporal visas (Including the 482 or 494 and even more the granting conditions) would be normal. So far I feel that housing prices and inflation have made to take tough decisions.
I heard that Australia recently received 100k new immigrants in 1 month which would mean a record. Hope this could be a rumour only.
They are reducing the number of temporary residents but the permanent migration numbers will probably reamian the same
Any latest news regarding 143 contributory visa ?
Unfortunately no changes at all, sorry
I was promised visa 482 by an organisation in perth to start work, I have worked for over 16 months now while they kept promising, at the last minute with a month to go on my current visa, company says they will no longer honour the agreement they made 😢😢😢😢
Anyone know when they will change 482 visa to skill demand visa?
Not until the end of 2024 since CSOL won’t likely be decided before then.
Most likely as Estelle mention by the end of the year but there are many things they need to set up first
I really appreciate your videos, thank you they are so much informative. Unfortunately my skill assesment stage 1 at Vetasses outcome is unsuccessful for reason of not providing employer reference letter. My colleagues with same application and documents/ without reference letter have got successful not sure for me they are asking. Can you please suggest what can be done. Is there a way this assesment can be looked again thoroughly and check if this can be successful. I have paid 1200aud. I am in so much stress.
You need to check their document check list carefully. You may consider reviewing and providing alternative documents to the reference letter
Can you please suggest what might be the alternate document for reference letter
Hi Karl, make some video on 491 state sponsored visa for Canberra. I have applied for software test role and it’s gonna be a year and no updates from their end. Should we trust the global time line which is present in the act? As it’s crossed the 90% and yet to receive the grand. Could you please drop a video on how this works now and what is the current situation in Canberra?
Thanks Karl
Im not sure if you have already lodged the 491 visa? If so there is nothing you can do but wait it out.
Is the lowering of age to 35 for Visa 485 going to push through?
they announced today already, implementing in July 2024 :)
I lost my sponsorship because of $70k. They happy to sponsor me but they are able to pay me maximum $65k. do I have any option? please let me know
Have you explained the scenario to them? Seems a bit harsh they won’t raise it 5k given the stakes of your situation!
No options. You would have to find a sponsor in a DAMA region to use less
@@Bm24567 problem is they can’t raise the salary for him without affecting other people with similar skills and experiences. Otherwise it’s just not fair for others.
Is it possible to find out how many ROI are outstanding for VIC vs how many 190/491 nominations left for this year?
Same for SA 🙏
if you dont receive an invitation by their closing date next week you will have to wait till the next FY.
Is there any one waiting 476 visa refund ? It’s been 3 months. I sent 3 emails but have no response yet.
Really that is so disgusting in how you guys have been treated. Let me know what happens
Any information about next round of invitations by states
Not yet but that will come soon enough. stay tuned
Do not expect any 190/491 round this year. WA has already closed for months. VIC is about to close in couple of days. NSW sent invitations yesterday and most probably will send remaining invitations one by one without any round. Other states have either exhausted their quotas or closed or have 50-100 invitations maximum!
Yup waiting is the only option
Definitely Best restaurant 😂😂
Sounds like it!
Jessica’s boss should increase her salary instead of paying for marketing. She has promoted the restaurant to us 😅
Yes indeed!!!
@ Karl My lodged date is 190 april 2023 Can when Can i expect my Grant Please help me Processing time is already crossed
Just need to wait them out I'm afraid but hopefully this year
I cant wait for the Albanese government to end. They are not helping immigrants nor students they’re making it so difficult. What a shame Albanese doesn’t sound Aussie for sure his family also migrated in Australia and now look how they treat all migrants 😢 they blame the migrants for lack of housing, which in fact they should blame themselves! It’s the Australian Government’s job to foresee this crisis if they didn’t then they’re a failure.
can you help with ETA??? 601... its been 20 days.... no response.. CANADIAN HERE..
Sorry just need to wait and see, good luck
I have lived in Australia for 25 years now.
It is not the country it used to be a quarter of a century ago. Basic every day use products, services, are a lot dearer now when compared to average income. Average property was between 4 to 5 average national annual incomes, now it is more than 10.
If you plan to immigrate to Australia don't bother if you won't get an income of $AU200k per annum minimum. You buy an average home and the bank loan for it will enslave you for decades. In that situation, by not coming to Australia, you will not sacrifice family, friends and an environment you are familiar and comfortable with for the same or larger economic challenges than in your place of birth.
Australia is simply too expensive these days.
Yet, I don’t see the flow of people coming to die down anytime soon, even with intense student visa crackdown and promised cut on popular temporary visas except 482. Some will still try their luck to get a student visa or even tourist visa to “work” here. Those daring will continue to try to exploit protection visa system to maintain ongoing residency under BVA. Australia is still too good to resist for many, and will remain this way for the foreseeable future.
Yes in many ways it is overpriced but it is a great place to live compared to many but not the only one to choose from
You have been in it for too long. You forgot what it is like to live in a third-world country, mate. The world is not magical elsewhere. Lots of skilled workers are living in war-torn counries, nattions suffering from CRAZY inflation and currency devaluation. You are saddened because the inflation rate was 6% in AUS,. In my country, it is 49% and my friend lives in country where the the inflation rate is 120%. You need to travel around to count your blessings.
@@youssefgergis7360 this is fairly common for people who never set foot on foreign soil in their lifetime and are exposed to phenomenons like "oh my god why everybody comes to my country this is such a crap place to live in". No comparison so no further understanding.

I know wait times are really crazy and this ban on visitor visas for spouse applications is a real pain. Hope it improves for you
I don’t know why the hell government weren’t concerned about these issues when the came up with the requirements. If Karl can find out, what are the people working in governments doing then 🥴🥴🥴 only explanation they don’t have brain.
Yes sometimes you wonder
They likely live in alternative universe, or worse, people feeding decision makers incorrect and/or outdated information to mislead them. Not to say everyone are 100% out of touch but several key ones seem to be out of touch.
Hi Karl,
Please comment WTF is going on:
“Five countries could be banned from Aus
Proposed new laws would grant the power to block visas from countries that do not accept their citizens being involuntarily returned.”
Those countries are Iraq, Iran, South Sudan, Zimbabwe and Russia.
I know you cannot ban a country that affects so many people just because of some dumb decision by their government. I don't think that will pass the Senate so lets see
This whole banning country thing is hugely controversial so it won’t go anywhere without intense fight. Ultimately government wants to cut the source of “failure to depart” cohort, though I don’t think banning country is the right thing to do.
@@ian7033-qj9wg yeah which can probably explain why some people keep asking for timeline for visa grant while others just got their grant in around usual 12 months timeframe. DOHA might not even process as many visas from certain countries as applicant was hoping for.
@@ian7033-qj9wg yeah but Australian government doesn’t want too many people from those high risk regions deliberately breaking immigration law just to stay in Australia either. I have seen people from certain parts of China getting visitor visa and student visa refused in just a few hours or days after lodgement because historically those regions “produce” unlawful non-citizen in Australia.
@@ian7033-qj9wg to individual it may be unfair but to that cohort probably the easiest thing Australian government can do. Same as banning countries.
