Don't worry Karl, we will ensure we keep sharing your videos in all the whatsaap and Facebook groups we're in to clarify the doubts of those who are not a regular viewers of your channel. The way you keep giving us clarity and take a stand to secure our future, we can at least spread this information to those who might benefit from this information and your hardwork.

Hi Karl. Great update as usual, thanks. I just wondered, in amongst all this good news, is there anything that benefits those over 45 years of age? Or do we (over 45’s) still have the same limited visa options (482, DAMA age concessions etc.)? Many thanks, James

Hello thank you for the information. I was on 482 short term so I moved to regional with 494 visa to ensure my chance to apply for PR. Now I have to work three years to be eligible for PR and 482 can apply after 2 years. It feels really bad.

Thank you Karl, your videos are indeed helpful and the way you voice for all visa applicants. I have seen a recent pattern of s56requests been delayed for more 3months. Being onshore, it has been more than 16months to wait for 491.

Hi Karl, would you like to introduce the difference between “Change in circumstances” and “incorrect answers”? Sometimes it is unclear what to provide while waiting for visa application to be processed, and things do change, such as stopping studies, changing jobs, moving to a new place, etc etc. Thanks.

[@pratikbose91]

Hey Karl - Thanks for sharing this news! With regards to the reduction in no. of years from 3 to 2 having worked for the same employer, would it be applicable to those who have been granted 482 visa already, or will it be applicable only for people who have been granted 482 visa after the new changes have been implemented later this year? I was granted 482 visa in October 2022, so wondering if I'll have to be with my current employers for 2 or 3 years before we can apply for 186 TRT. Thanks in advance!

Seems like it is designed for those granted already Pratik

If a wife's RRV (subclass 155) has expired since 2009, but her husband's RRV just been granted renewal, can she similarly get a grant ?

[@youtuber261]

I was on a short term 482 visa back in 2017. I had to endure lots of restrictions and jump through so many hoops in order to stay in the country. Wish they had made these changes sooner. Its essentially reverted back to what the 457 was before. I'll never forgive the former government for implementing the overly harsh rules in the first place. Ended up taking me over 6 years to get PR. Utterly ridiculous.

[@rampage241]

You are right about the TSMIT being impractical for the regions, it'll just concentrate more people in the cities creating more problems.

[@tam0050]

Hi Karl - I got company sponsor and granted visa 482 (medium long term) in April2023 and now working in Sydney. I am eligible to apply PR after 4yrs work via visa 189 Hong Kong stream. My understanding is that Hong Kong stream does not require company nomination when I do the 189 application. So my question is, tho the new 186 reducing the employment to 2yrs, do I still need the company nomination when I do the 186 application? If not, it’s a great great news! If yes, can I say that 186 vs 189 the differences is not just the 2yrs & 4yrs time but also the nomination cost…?

[@ilokanochefsinaustralia]

Hi, Karl! Great video as usual. Is it the discretion of the sponsor if it will make a new contract to follow the tsmit for those that are lodged but awaiting for the Dept.'s decision? If the sponsor will not make a new contract, what are the implications on both the sponsor and the ones being nominated? Thank you.

[@elegantcity9146]

Hello Karl, clear and great content as always. May I ask about your opinion, based on your long years of experience on the migration system in Australia. Do you think there is a possibility that someday 491 will be converted into PR? I mean you don’t need 3 years to apply for PR but a direct PR. Thank you so much for your amazing thoughts.

[@syedmazharulhuq7231]

Remove TSMIT even better 😂, waiting 2/3 years is still ok

[@ailsaustralia]

Thanks for the support! Unfortunately I do not think there is much chance they will change the current 491/191 structure. Of cousre they need to tell us the detail about the income level!

[@jc.per.aus.90]

Hi Karl, thank you for taking the time to share this content. I have a question though: According to the DHA's website for the 482 Transition Stream, it says that USUALLY, you must be working 3 years while holding the visa. How strict is the DHA with the last part? I've been working for my employer in the nominated position for over 3 years but only holding the 482 for less than 1 year at the moment. - when these changes come into effect, you think I would be able to be successful in my application to the PR?

[@endoplasma]

Well, the requirement is clear, "while" holding the visa. This requirement fulfilling check should be automated.

Hi karl, ive watch a lot of this new labour agreement for aged care workers in different sources and platform. But none of them including you, talk about this. From home affairs website " Sponsor overseas workers for permanent residence under the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) visa program. Workers must have at least two years of full time work experience in Australia in a relevant direct care occupation. The two years of work experience is not tied to a particular employer or visa subclass." Can you elaborate this please? Ive been working 2 years full time as a carer in a well know aged care facility here in WA, im holding a covid 408 visa at the moment. Am i eligble for this direct 186 visa? Ur advised will help.

Ah that is tricky because you need to see the particular labour agreement offered by the company. The one we spoke about is an industry agreement which is a diferent animal. However I have heard yes there are such individual company agreements out there that off that direct opportunity

[@ailsaustralia]

Depends on what visa you hold Yuki. Does not matter for 491 visa holders

Will there be 189 invitation rounds this year? If yes, any idea when to expect these rounds?

[@ailsaustralia]

May be one before the end of June but this is uncertain Amsa. After July there will be more

[@ibrarishaq3518]

Can you please assist about subclass 186 DE? What is the annual pay rate required?

[@ailsaustralia]

Same as the TSMIT now levels and after 1st of July Ibrar

[@ibrarishaq3518]

@@ailsaustralia thank you, I spoke to the lawyer who is hired my employer. They said that we gonna lodge the application in a week time, so this will not effect your case. I'm worried as you said it will be for all on hand application. Is there any alternative to this?

[@bendunne101]

Hi Karl, have 190 grants been slower over the last month, will we need to wait until July to see some faster processing times?

[@ron8018]

I have the same question... there are not many grants issued for the last couple of weeks.... is it because of the annual capped number is filled?

[@ailsaustralia]

yes they normally slow down towrds the end of the FY Ben

Hi Karl! Thanks for explaining the news. I read all the comments to make sure I won't repeat the same question. I'm holding a TSS 482 visa. To be able to apply 186 TRT visa after December (fingers cross they will finalise the law), do I have to adjust my TSMIT to $70,000? I have a feeling that will be a requirement. Thank you again! Timi

Hi Karl Do you think the TSMIT changes will affect Dama visa applicants too? Thanks for you great job and information

[@ailsaustralia]

No they do not affect the DAMA stream Ale

[@KamsTbhatt]

Nothing for 494 visa holders 😢

[@ailsaustralia]

Sorry Tank, not yet

[@eleazarihuoma9010]

Thank you so much Karl for the update, From this presentation does it mean that the 491 visa duration is now reduced to 20 months? I wanted to ask Because we applied for 491 in June 2022 and I wish to know how long we are to wait for the visa approval

[@ailsaustralia]

Well its gone down lets hope it keeps getting faster Elearzar

[@shivasuresh5957]

Any movement towards changing the age limits for skilled migration? I really don't understand why Australia prefers younger unskilled migrants but puts age age cap on skilled migrants. So it is easier for a unskilled 29 year old to come to Australia to drive Uber than a 46 year old data scientist with a Master's degree from a top U.S. university? This make no sense if Australia is serious about attracting talented skilled migrants. A highly skilled older migrant will contribute more to the tax base in 20 years than a younger low skilled one in 40 years. We will create more jobs and transfer more valuable knowledge.

[@ailsaustralia]

yes that argument has a great deal of merit Shiva

[@pradipprajapati8501]

Hello Karl, Any idea when There will be next updates regarding 491 and 191 visa and their relation to new tsmit

[@ailsaustralia]

Hope the 191 rules will be released soon as they know there is an issue now. probably I think so it does not cause too much trouble they will keep at the current level

[@doakskh7531]

Hi Karl. I have dama 482 visa which is labour agreement stream. Am I eligible for the new 2 years rule? or only for short-term and medium term streams?

[@MelodyPineros]

Same question Karl pls???

[@fredtorres743]

Hi Karl, great video, as always. Quick question: I just received a negative outcome in my skills assessment application and the Vetassess assessor informed my occupation fits the profile of one not listed on 482 lists, but I have lots of experience in that occupation and my current salary is higher than the future TISMIT. Do you think the 482 lists will be removed for the next FY?

[@ailsaustralia]

Quite possible yes Fred. Have to wait and see what happens. However usually you do not need a skill assessment for the 482 visa

[@mhashemiahmadi]

Is the effective date of July 1st for TSMIT also true in case of 491 visa holders/ applicants?

[@ailsaustralia]

No for the 491 is not tied to the TSMIT so they do not have to increase it if they don't want to

[@alphaleakswithavb]

Great coverage. I'm a citizen now after a long journey but I still enjoy the content, wish I had it much earlier as I suffered trough the lengthy process and outrageous wait times.

[@ailsaustralia]

Well done, congratulations. Yes it has been a tough last few years but you got there in the end

[@knoorani]

Hi Karl. Does the increase in TSMIT apply to the 491 applications lodged before July 2023?

[@ailsaustralia]

The 491 is not tied to the TSMIT but it is yet to be seen what the income level will remain at. They probably will just keep it at the 53,900

[@vks5993]

Thanks for your hard work.

[@ailsaustralia]

Thank you!

[@gmafh1315]

As a subsciber for a couple years now to find news on the 417 UK changes would you be able to find out the actual visa change date if its the 31st or in the next 2 years? No reason why it cant be straight away surely? So many ppl waiting on confirmation on this Thank you

[@ailsaustralia]

Thanks for hanging in there and watching. I wish I could tell you but that is well above our paygrades here. But could they do it soon, cannot see why not
