23.01.2022 The Department is encouraging International students who are planning to apply for a Temporary Graduate visa and are unable to sit for their English test for the purpose of the visa application to apply for a visa to maintain their lawful status. The greatest concern of the Department is international students who have student visas expiring and unable to lodge a Temporary Graduate visa due to the English language. The Government is considering a change of the Migration Regulations to make the English language test a time of decision criteria. However, this is yet to happen and until then the requirements stay as they are. The team of abode migration lawyers is available to help you with the lodgment of your Temporary Graduate visa.

09.01.2022 Congratulations on the applicants who we have successfully helped to lodge their 190 visas with a state nomination by the Government of Victoria. We had very busy four weeks! In the period from 8 to 21 September the State Government of Victoria received close to 3000 registrations of interest whilst their interim allocation for 2020-21 were: - 600 places for skilled subclass 190 - 200 places for skilled subclass 491... - 400 places for the business innovation and investment program. Once Victoria receives confirmation from the Federal Government o its 2020-21 nomination allocations the relevant state programs are expected to open. Keep your eye on the LiveInMelbourne website over the next few weeks and register quickly. Get in touch to see how we can help you with putting the best application forward to the State Government and increase your prospects of success.
