22.01.2022 SETBACK TO THE GOVERNMENTS PROPOSED CHANGES TO AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP REQUIREMENTS. BIG WIN FOR FAIRNESS SO FAR Let’s wait and watch what happens leading upto 18 October 2017!!!! If the Citizenship Bill is not passed by 18th October 2017 and is discharged from the order of business on that date, this would effectively mean that the original legislative citizenship requirements remain in place. Therefore the Governments proposed new citizenship requirements cannot be imp...lemented. The Government’s proposed changes to Australian citizenship requirements could face an embarrassing end in the Senate. A Greens motion to strike the government’s citizenship bill from the notice paper passed the Senate on Wednesday 13 September 2017. This is a little used parliamentary process, whereby the legislation would effectively be 'struck off' the list of legislation being considered by the Senate. The Greens originally wanted the bill removed for consideration from the Senate immediately, but an agreement was reached to an amendment from crossbench Senator Jacqui Lambie to give the government until October 18 to vote on the bill, If the Citizenship Bill cannot be passed by 18 October 2017 and is discharged from the order of business on that date, the Government would need to reintroduce the Bill. However some political commentators have questioned whether they will have the numbers to do so. The Labour senators have so far labelled the English language requirements as ‘unreasonable and snobbish’. The Government’s proposed amendment to citizenship requirements would introduce a minimum of four year wait before permanent residents could apply for citizenship, stricter English language requirements and an Australian Values Test.

21.01.2022 457 VISAS AXED AND NEW STSOL & MTSSL LISTS ANNOUNCED. SOME CONSEQUENCES OF THE RECENT CHANGES TO IMMIGRATION POLICY: 1. Occupations such as cook and restaurant manager are on the STSOL list. While you can still be sponsored for 2 years by a restaurant on the 457 visa and gain another 2 year extension, you can no longer apply for a permanent visa unless it is added to the MLTSSL list for you being in a designated regional area.... 2. Retail manager is still available in regional areas for the 187 visa at the moment. But from March 2018 this will not be the case, as this occupation is not on the MLTSSL list. 3. Most student graduates will not be eligible for temporary or permanent company sponsorship after March 2018 as you require at least 2 years FULL-TIME WORK EXPERIENCE first. If you need any clarifications regarding what the new immigration policy changes mean for you, please call us at 0402781777 to book an appointment. Plan you immigration path in advance by understanding these changes fully to ascertain a suitable immigration path/outcome for you. Don't leave it too late!!!

14.01.2022 BREAKING NEWS 10 YEAR PIC 4020 BAN REVERSED / DISALLOWED IN THE SENATE The change to the recent law which meant that anyone who provided false information or documents to the Department of Immigration, Skill Assessment bodies, Administrative Appeals Tribunal would be banned for 10 years rather than 3 years has been disallowed in the Senate. This means that the old rule is in effect again and people who have been affected by PIC 4020 more than three years ago can once again... apply for visas to Australia. It was a great relief to see that such draconian laws were not supported by some reasonable and conscientious political leaders. These laws basically gave far reaching subjective powers to the Department of Immigration and The Minister in cancelling their visas, putting them in detention for minor offences like speeding tickets without proper natural justice being accorded to them and putting in 10 year ban on applicants from reapplying for visas The government might try to reinstate the law so this may only be a temporary change. We will keep you informed as the situation develops.
