This interview with the professor was so much more meaningful than the Gratten Institute on what Immigration means to Australia.
Yes, the experience shows in the long run
Never have I seen any migration consultant with such an expertise like you have Carl.Carl knows the ground reality of the international students.Thank you for the updates and interviewing the important personalities in migration field.
Thanks again to the entire team.
Very kind of you Kripan, thank you.
Yes really he is great.
Perseverance is the word which comes to mind when I watch your videos and your continued fight for the right causes Karl and Team. Kudos !
Thanks Vikram!
Thanks karl for the encouragement and it make sense because the issue is not just the international student itself
It is always a pleasure watching your videos Karl !!
Thanks for the support
I really appreciate the non-biased approach. All the Best.
Thank you Sush!
Thanks for hosting this discussion, Karl. Thank you to Peter too for sharing his insights!
Thanks for incorporating interviews. It nice to have our questions answered by those who influence policy even when we don't agree with the reasoning like last week lol.
Thanks for your support and watching
Thanks k and the team
Thankyou Hussain
Thanks Carl for your service as well.
Any time, thanks
Thank you Karl 😊
My pleasure!
Students would head to regions within their close geographical proximity. So it’s quite common to see students from the Asia pacific region in Australia. As compared to students from the south americas. It’s that simple
Thank you Karl for your excellent interview with Professor Peter McDonald.His comment that the Grattan institutes proposed revision of the points test only values high earners is true.After all both Nurses and Teachers are vocations that are not highly paid in short supply, but clearly essential for our health and well being together with the education of future generations.
Thanks for your message and yes Peter gave an excellent interview
Thanks for another great video Karl.
Seems like immigration has updated there website and not allowing for a transition period. They have updated it saying: “Any applications lodged on or after 1 July 2024 will be assessed under the new requirements.” 😢
Jean they added that part eralier when they changed the part allowing Phd and Masters by research students could apply. FIngers crossed though
Lodged after July 1 being assessed under the new requirements is normal. If there is ever a transitional arrangement it would need to be worded differently to avoid confusion.
Thank you so much carl for give us important information, can you please give any update on 491 spouse visa processing time.
Thanks
Thanks karl and team for all your effort. Cheers !
Thanks your welcome!
So true, there is an assumption that everyone wants to stay permanently. Some people are only here for some international experience only.
Actually most people do not want to stay. Thanks for your thoughts
I absolutely LOVED this interview. I've been watching your channel for a year now and it's been so helpful. My question is: How likely would it be that they would take up the suggestion to extend the 485 if someone is working for an employer and wants to keep working longer... Has this suggestion "officially" been submitted to the department? Will this actually be an option in the future? Please let us know! :) Thanks!
Thanks Katrina for the positive feedback and supporting the channel. Not sure about the suggestion if it will make it into policy but I hope so. Lets see what happens
And why they didn't make the time served with one employer count towards the Permanent visa then if done more then 3 years on 482 employee can submit for 191sub by themselves. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE LOOPING ON THIS VISA SCAM
Glad to hear that Karl.
Good to hear
Thank you Karl for this great interview!
Glad you enjoyed it!
People that ceased employment by the employer before 01st of July can also have 180 days? It’s been 35 days for me so far
😔🙏 God bless Mr Peter McDonald, he is a good human, far from the Australian government. He is the kind of leader the migration system needs, not that few with personal xenophobic interests. I hope someone will make a difference, this is driving me into a depression state.
Awesome Video Carl
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your support Ivie!
We are hoping something good from the petition with regards to age limit for 485 TGR visa for those already enrolled with existing policies. Or else those of us above 35 years of age gonna see our dreams and careers shattered. Thank you always for what you always do.
Hoping too!
I am glad to hear good news about the period extension to find a new sponsor!!!
yes it is great news indeed, something positive for a change
Good insight ❤
Thanks!
Thank you so much Karl, I appreciate what you have done for the migrants community 🙏
Our pleasure, thanks
Great interview
Thanks much appreciated
Thanks Karl for such a great interview. I think there should be a transition for those who chose a graduate or undergraduate program expecting a promised extension period for 485. Many of these students made a life decision facing now a huge pressure on this abrupt change of plans.
The transition period has been asked from multiple sources and by multiple people. So far the only concession happens in research and phd students. With the clock winding down and we are approaching the end of financial year, I am losing hope that there will ever be a transition period for affected people. (I’m not personally affected, but I am losing hope nonetheless)
Dear Karl, Thanks you so much for sharing information about immigration in your channel. I have a question and this is regarding thee news that from 01-July 2024, 482 visa holders will hav 6 months to look for a nomintion. My question is whether employers will also have 6 months from 01-July to employ someone on 482 without transfering the sponsorship.
I forgot Karl is there any chance for path to pr in 482 visa like it becomes 2 years to get 186 visa ? thanks
Thank you for the news. Is this apply 494 holders who are ceased about a month ago?
yes when the condition takes effect it will apply to all visa holders. Looks like just in time for you then
This interview is a great relieve for many of us..
There was chaos after grattan inst
news..
My Q) To apply Student visa starting in feb 25 onshore whilst holding sc462(3rd) expiring on 10th November, do i have to leave australia because of 16 weeks of gab bw visas?
or the rule of combined student visa for two courses where gap is acceptable if its the end of Aus academic yr also applies on other visas where summer break is a bridge before commencement?
I was looking to apply visitor record as per my plans but from 1st july thats doesn't seem to work to obtain a student visa...
thanks karl..u r doinh awesome work ..what about 485 petitio
Lets see what happens next week!
Really appreciate Peter and Karl.
Thank you!! Karl and Peter. Great interview 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks too for watching
The government of Australia is doing the right thing we need some control
Mr. Karl, Do you think they should grant direct regional PR visas, without the long wait of 3 years in the regions if the main applicant has a relative like an Australian brother/sister or first cousin living and working outside the bigger cities?
It would be nice if they did but i dont think they will change anything but lets see
You are the warrior behalf of international students
Wish I could more, thanks
Hi karl..is that means Australian government will be preferring giving more 491 visa in the next fy?
Possibly, at least it is some good sign
Does it mean even 190 ACT whoever lodged also would be prioritized in terms of grant starting from July 1st? Please chime in your thoughts
No they are just proposals for now
It will be tough to solve the "migration crisis" if Australia doesn't want to let someone view the migration issue holistically and provide solutions, instead of focusing on stranded superficial factors and the symptoms. There has to be that one man/woman willing to stand up and face the migration issue head-on, and devote himself/herself to guiding this migration ship back to the right track with a clear view and foresight.
I thought Andrew Giles and Clare O Neil were the ones willing to take on this difficult task of changing the migration system for the better. They took the challenge, arguably, but what they did was far from enough and fair.
They only made propaganda and illusions to migrants that is an essential part of this country economy 🙂
Well said Estelle, yes they have been a disapointing duo
They make their decisions looking at the property prices...😂
@@user-tb9yp8rr5w ok so what’s their decision? And exactly how they are going to go with the property price?

Hi Carl, I got 491 visa and married last year.
I dropped a visa for my misses as dependent and didn’t hear from immigration can’t even check waiting period on website.
Rang home affairs to ask for waiting period they were rude and said you should wait until you hear back from immigration department and there is no waiting period they said. which is very sad and unsure how long we should wait for 😢
I’ve been on graduate visa since June 2023. One year to go.
Since 2022 December, they have only sent 1 round of invitation for non healthcare workers a couple of weeks ago. How do they expect us to get PR, if they are not sending invitations? Now, we won’t be able to apply for student visa. I’m sure there are lots of people like me who are on graduate visa and waiting government to send more invitations. It seems impossible to get invitations for 189 as the new allocations are sitting at 16k. The only way is state sponsorship. Hopefully, they don’t change the allocations last minute as they did last year.
what is ur occupation?
Hopefully that will change soon
@@tazoman26 I’m a mechanical engineer. You?
Hi @karl
i really appreciate your efforts for people like us
can you assist about about 491 visa, which time is best to submit EOI, and next financial year would be good or bad year for migrants?
Hi Carl, Thank you so much for such an informative video. I have a situation, I have 2 months and 2 weeks left for my visa to expire, but I have just found an employer in regional NSW with DAMA LABOUR agreement. They have offered me to sponsor me as barista (semi skilled occupation), I have 5 years of experience as barista. is it possible to lodge my visa 482 within 2 months time before my visa expires( September 04 2024 )? Does this stream lead me to pr ? If it does, how long do I need to work for the employer in this visa ? Sorry for such a long message and thank you in advance .
Please book a time to discuss
Any possibility good sign 491 quotas will increase next FY?
Hi Karl
I would just like to find out if there are any plans to change the 186 visa age limit of 45 to 50. I am currently on a 482 TSS visa but are over 45 but don't have any plans to leave my current employer.
Thank you
Abie Fortune
Carl, you should be in parliament
Ha, too old for that now, but thanks
@@ailsaustraliaand too honest 😅
When Karl said "couldn't get a better migrant", that felt good. I feel the same way, thanks for reaffirming that Karl. I graduated with a Masters in 2021. Have been on 485 since. I started working in my occupation straightaway. Have a good job, good salary, great experience and I really thought that I would not have such delays for 190. Still waiting for an invite. So, if we do everything right, we still might be just waiting in the limbo.
Will they give more allocation to states and territories for this financial year 2024-25? Thanks
Yes I believe they will, stay tuned
There is no grant of 191 visa these days .processing time keep increasing we already spend 3 years in regional and again waiting so many months now for to get pr .I hope after July they will grant more visas.what you think ??
Yes they will
Thats what Im talking bout. A video in positive direction.
Some good news at least to share this week, true
Hi carl can i use pre study work experience to lodge 482 visa after studies finishes??
Possibly but that. depends if you already hold a qualification before you came to Australia
Hi Karl, what are the chances for an Electrical Engineer with 65, 70 and 80 points for 189 190 and 491 Visa offshore ?
And which visa can get invites easily with lower points ?
No chance.....very strict
@hemantdangi7926 on official skill select i saw visa lodged on 65 points for electrical engineering
Thanks for insightful analysis Karl!!! Any idea when new point system will be officially announced and implemented
Probably not even announce till the end of this year and maybe by July 25 at the earliest
I have just been granted 482 visa( medium term) will I still be able for apply for PR after 2 years considering new Temporary visa coming next financial year
When u lodge ur subclass 482 visa kindly update
What is average time for processing time of 485 graduate work stream at the moment?
They are getting slower lately, around 3 months
Hi Karl, thank you so much as always for the video. Just one question, is Perth considered regional?
Yep. Thanks for the feedback
Glad that points are likely to stay for regional areas.
Looks like in some form they will
When will they allow 482 go straight to 186TR without another employer sponsorship? A lot of 482 visa holders have to apply for another 482 as employers are reluctant to support PR visa to their employees.
The skill-in-demand visa might be the savior given it is told there will be no second sponsorship for the PR part of it.
Good question into the migration strategy there is some thing I hope it will be possible to apply by ourselves 😢
@@estellebright2579 but the current 482 visa holders are still in limbos.
@@WonderFack yes but if anything, maybe applying that skills-in-demand visa is the most likely solution for you guys.
also, the second sponsorship requirement lies in the 186 visa TRT stream, not 482.
@@WonderFack We hope they will solve it mate 🤞🤞
Hi I am 38 years old just completed my studies and my results are still pending … what can I do… after 4 days it will be 01 July
Will point system change for 189, 191 and 491?
Yes they will. change for sure but how much is uncertain
Karl I have a question I been waiting my 462 visa from December 2023 and still not coming out yet is 462 that long to process ?
Thats sounds unusually long, just have to wait them out till they finish
Ok@@ailsaustralia
I have still hope to get a graduate visa as as I will be over 35 at my graduation period. One thing I want to know that when will the petition result will be announced? It is already going to be July ....
Even im curious to know this
i m also curious about petition can you explain about how to work petition .plz reply this comment karl
Can you please let me know if there’s anything about 309 visa, how long will it take, it was done in October last year 2023,still waiting, no updates yet, thank you
Depends upon the country but you can expect 12-24 months
It’s from Bangladesh,was done in October last year 2023,but still didn’t hear anything,please can you help,thank you so much for kind help,God bless you 🙏
Was done from Bangladesh,in2023,but still waiting,can you please help,thank you so much,God bless 🙏
Any updates on 485 age limit?
Not yet, stay tuned
Very good. I am doing PhD and going to complete soon. I just want to know is there any change for point for phds too?
Hi Carl - Thank you so much for the valuable information. I always look forward to your videos as they certainly have some concrete information. My question is that I am waiting for my 491 visa grant since 13 months now, do you think visa grants will start in july itself or it will still take more time. Since its been 13 months I applied, my medical also got expired, do you think I will get S.56 notice to get my medical done again, If yes when will I get the visa grant after resubmitting my medicals. Sorry for the long message.
The visa grant will resume from July 1. As for the medical, just follow along. You will get there.
at the moment there is big problem with the house where to put 100000 students are we building housing .those agents have to look after those where the well live. Those agents are looking only of there business and money.we support the government
Hi Sir,
Australian Government is going to close 476 subclass visa. Please help us. We waited for 4 years for this visa.
I submitted application for 186 direct entry scheme during August.when can I expect my PR
Takes on average 12 months depending on the occupation. best of luck!
What's your occupation?
Developer programmer
Thanks karl for another exciting video
Currently holding first working holiday visa which is expiring in oct 24, i want to apply for student visa instead of 2nd whv.
The course im looking for starts in july&feb, can i apply student visa for feb intake in sep i.e before 5 months of commencement, onshore?
thanks for the positive feedback. Policy is that not more than 2 months gap in a visa before starting study but it could be a little longer but 5 mths would be a stretch
As my visa is expiring in oct, i have 28 days after expiry to lodge another visa in this case can i apply later at the end of Nov.
As that 4 months will be a summer break and im allowed in that case???
sir if they officially remove chef from Core skill pathway will it affect 186DE visa? Or it will not affect it's just my overthinking and my second question will they removed chef from mltssl to StSOL or it is also a wrong information?
I think there is no chance of chef being removed but we will have to wait and see
@@ailsaustralia but sir my question is if they officially remove chef from Core skill will it affect 186de visa?
@@ailsaustralia hope chef stay in csol cuz nowadays point system for pr to chefs occupation is getting hard so employer sponsor csol or skill in demand visa is last hope for us.
When will 190 grants resume?
After June
Hey karl,
Always grateful for your valuable insights on Australian migration.
Since it is proposed to remove some occupation based on the proposed CSOL occupation list, what do you think will happen to those occupation that are already on 482 visa, do you think they will still be allowed to apply for 186 visa?
Thanks for the feed back. Yes I think those on the lists will still have access to the 186 TRT stream
Truthfully, western institutions are far ahead in academic excellence, and third world growing countries lack fundamental strength in Science &technology due to chronic neglect in indigenous r&d sector. Thus capping educational opportunities for students from non western nations shouldn’t not be implemented.
Hi karl. any chance to permanent resident over 45 years old? my current visa 482 and more than 5years in my current employer, regional
Dama sponsorship is the key I guess .. 55 is the age for dama sponsorship.
thanks so much Karl
Glad the government has given the red light to Grattan institutes proposals to change the points test.I wonder if part of the decision followed from watching your interview with Trent.Not to mention the five hundred(almost universally negative) comments that followed.
I'm sure there will still be some changes but we will have to wait and see
Hi karl My TR expiring november this year I applied 190 and 491 in march worried that should I apply for student visa before 1st of july or should i wat
Not sure if you mean EOI. If it is just an EOI then you should seriously consider the student visa option before 1st of July just in case
They should make 2 years for 494 ,491 eligibility for 191 visa
Yes that would be nice
They should! because 482 is only 2 then can apply 190 pr. Not fair at all

Could you say please..

Hi long story short.🖐️🖐️🖐️
I apply for my 457, lost for covid closure did 2 and half year of work after that, one full year (stood down no income no allowed to work) found another 482 completed, applied for PR, made medical check and the business bunkrupt so beside all the time and efforts I paid all the costs for me and the BUSINESSES , plus the migration agent of their choice full paid by ME plus lost of super and all the leave accumulated in both the jobs(I never visited my country since I got here.
I just want my pr after have complied 2 full sponsorships what can I do?
Law should be approved from people who has experienced sponsorships so they can understand!
Thank you for your great videos!!
Your absolutely right the law should be ammended to take into account previous time served with other employers

@@Thebasicneeds444 the lost time and money cannot be claimed by “moving to another country”, and that’s the core of this cruel policy. You can’t expect students to just “pack up and apply for another visa in a different country”. They are not tourists. They come to Australia to study.

Hi karl,
I hope you are well. I was on 485 visa but i got my 491 visa grant last month. Do i need to withdraw my
485 visa or it will automatically cancel. Please let me know. Thanks
Generally speaking one person can only hold 1 substantive visa at a time. When your 491 is granted your 485 is cancelled automatically at the same time. You don’t need to worry about anything in that regard. Do pay attention to your 8578, 8579 and 8580 visa conditions however.
So many immigrants under labor, the train in Sydney is about to derail off the tracks.
Still less than planned before the pandemic so nothing unusual
Any chances they change from 3 years to 2 years for 191 visa ?
Why would they?
Why would they and they shouldnt
Nice if they would but don't hold your breath
@@ailsaustralia thanks for your reply
@@MaureenBlancobecause going regional is harder than cities and people would just go to 482 and stay in the cities instead. They need to make it attractive for people to go regional

Looks like it yes
Thank you for the video Carl! I've been in Australia for 5 years now and working in Byron Bay for an employer similar to my field Industrial Engineering for 8 months and they want to sponsor me for 491 pathway 1 but because my salary is not 70k they can't. I applied for a 2nd Master degree after finishing my MBA in SCU with the highest GPA and 2 academic excellence certificates but Immigration lawyers advised me to withdraw my student visa application and leave the country in a month so I don't leave with a refusal. I feel like there is no hope other than waiting invitations for my EOIs 189,190 and 491 pathway 2 offshore. I also met with this Australian girl a month ago before I learned these news and now she is so sad that we have to breakup. Would you have any advice for any visa options or way to stay? I'm desperate and devastated:(
