Hey Karl, Thank you for being the only agent / Legend to advocate so openly and effectively. I also run an agency and you’ve been my virtual mentor. Great great content and help to many! Keep it up.
I feel relieved after seeing so much happening in the education sector and visa rules shift etc, that I got my invite right before all the downturn and chaos started. I must have won the most important lottery for my entire life, and for that, I am very grateful for all the people in my journey who are offering invaluable support, including Karl and his team. Now, as a permanent resident, I can finally start my dreamed life in Australia. Thanks Karl and his team for all the work done for the Australian immigration.
Happy that we could have assited Estelle. Indeed you are one of the lucky ones but on the other hand you worked hard to get your result so enjoy the rest of your life here.
I came to Australia in 2016 on a Working Holiday - then transitioned to Student, 485, and now on the 482. Next month is my 8 year anniversary and I’m left to wonder how much longer am I going to be ”permanently temporary.” Comparing the pathways in Europe I could have achieved PR there in 5 years. Really mind boggling how this system in Australia is truly broken and careless.
I'm reporting the case of having an age limit of 35 for the 485 visa without any transitional period to Channel 9 and Channel 7 News. This has to be discussed publicly. Please go to your news channel and do the same, and hopefully, they will start to listen to us. 😢
@@samirattar2122 I did so to the human rights commission,those guys took more than an hour and told me to get a lawyer,they actually gave me the number
@@samirattar2122 that is great but I tell you this in Australia every organization supports the government,it's different from Africa where non profit organizations question the government and take it to court representing people who are disadvantaged,mind you these organizations are financed by the USA and EU,here in Australia such organizations do not exist, because their funders EU and USA will be assuming that Australia is a fair and good country and does not need oversight,guess what they are wrong.the flip flopping done on 5 year post study Visas and then banning the post study five year Visas in less than 6 months shows that the governing system of Australia is not stable,it's actually worse than that of African countries because African countries do not have such policy inconsistencies
It's ironic that the housing crisis and inflation are being blamed on SC 500 and 485 visa holders, who aren't even buying houses. The real issue lies with Airbnb, wealthy individuals purchasing multiple properties, and foreign buyers. There should be stricter laws to address these factors. Universities in Australia thrive because of top international students, and the country continues to attract migrants. Australia's universities remain highly ranked thanks to the contributions of foreign talent. Everyone in this land once a migrant... Eg what a joke, When they granting 491 they granting all the grants at same time, bulk grant, which is causing huge housing and job crisis in RDA.. 😢
Kicking out Clare O'Neil and Giles from their posts is the best decision ever but too late, they have left behind a mess with many dreams frustated and families broken apart 😥. I'll be alone in Australia soon and my brothers, who are professionals with experience, are now looking a clear and reliable pathway in another country.
Thank you so much Karl for your heart and attention to international students. Sounds like there is hope for international students like me who's over 35 years old. I hope the new minister will reconsider and do something in favor to us. Not only us student but also our hopeful family are devastated and broken hearted because of this new policy. Looking forward for a positive update soon.
It is closed but, us, existing students need some compensation as transition period. We accept all the rules but it is very unfair for us. @@SumiandStellaChannel-np4ze
Me and my family also waiting for 491 family sponsored visa grant since 2022 November , all the necessary documents were submitted in the first place to prevent unnecessary delays, provided PCC for the second time as it got expired through the waiting , After 16 months of the lodgement they sent a commencement email , we were so happy because we hoped that we would get our grant whithin 2 months after that , but sadly we got another s56 for to redo medicals After 20 months of the lodgement date because at that time our medicals were older than 18 months. (Usually they say medicals expires after a year, but as my observation they accept medicals within 18 months) If they were efficient to evaluate our decision ready file whithin that 18 months that would not happen . I dont really know why they take such a long period to evaluate an application , In this smart and technological world they work as really primitive level of speed. Actually it cost us a significant amount of money to renew medicals and pcc s again and again . Some people are getting grants even before they hit even 12 months and here we are waiting nearly two years for the same visa grant after paying same amount of money, so unfair system DHA run.😥😥😥
What hurts more is that percentage of offshore to skilled migration is highest meaning, the job market has no value for students who study here. In America, the primary filter for job applicants is a local degree. Students spend a fortune on gaining education here and people from back home just apply directly for jobs here & move. Disappointing state of affairs. Why isnt offshore migration or refugee migration capped, which is the real problem?
Because just because one gets education is Australia doesn’t mean they’re more qualified than people who have a ton of experience and knowledge from offshore! In fact, Gratton institute even said that the students who graduate from Australia actually earn 10% lesser than the migrants who have studied overseas!
Hi Karl, I’m a 491 Family Sponsored visa applicant from 2022, and I'm experiencing significant delays. It's frustrating to see 2023 applicants getting grants while 2022 applicants, who’ve even completed re-medicals, are still waiting. The uncertainty is affecting our lives, especially with career opportunities slipping away. Could you please discuss this issue in one of your videos and offer any advice on what we can do? Thanks for your support!
Thanks for letting us know. The problem is we don't have DOHA data on this issue that they are deliberately slowlying this caseload down. If you know of any please let me know but we will raise it in the comments section
@@ailsaustralia Thanks for your reply, Karl. I appreciate your willingness to raise this issue. I'll send an email with the evidence I've gathered so far regarding the delays in processing 491 Family Sponsored and 491 State Sponsored visas for 2022 applicants, who are being overlooked in favor of 2023 applicants. Hopefully, this information will shed more light on what's happening and help you bring attention to it in your content. Looking forward to your feedback!
Thanks for the information, Carl. You always give accurate insight on ongoing issues, if you don't mind, could you please let me know the wait time for an overseas 491 Subsequent entrant?
Hey Karl! Could you do a show on visa processing times for the 190 visa? The global processing time tool on the DOHA website doesn't seem to make sense, as the timelines keep changing every few months. Keep up the great work, cheers!
Thank you Carl, I wrote to the Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission Victoria complaining about the lack of a transition period for the 485 visa. I understand certain nationalities have advantages for certain visas, but this visa is tied to paying and completing a course, so everyone who paid and completed the course should be eligible. Please talk more about this.
Hi karl I hope all is well . Me and hundreds of people are Waiting since October 2022 for 491 visa state sponsored as I am actively seeking an answer to our hold up I entertain my self on multiple Facebook groups with hundreds if not thousands more people in the same shoes the question is should we just forget about it an go on with our life’s or wait they asked us for medical and police twice already while they are granting 2023 this can’t be a backlog cause of lack of resources this is intentional if they don’t want us why don’t they just refuse it and get it over with why the wait?
Easiest way is to find a partner. All those visas atm are under overwhelmed process procedures and probably luck of immi employees. I studied and worked in Australia for 7 years, being checked sending pcc from Australia and my home country almost every 1,5 years. Was always working on payslips, legaly, paying taxes. Atm Im waiting 17 months to get my 491 visa approved even though I lodged all the documents with supporting documentation and all I got after 14 months was commencement email which is nothing than put me on stand by without the reason, never got s56 as all docs are up to date. Im from European, non terrorism country, most of my documents are from Australia, all is easy to check but it looks like it doesn’t matter as I see people who have never been to Australia, having less points and getting grants quicker. My job is on priority list all around Australia. All these processes are very weird.
Hi Karl, Thanks for the update. I regularly watch your vidoes from past 1.5 years. They have been really helpful in understanding the scenarios there. I have logged my EOI under skill nomination (OHSE Advisor) in Dec 2023 for 190 and 491 though have not received any invitation yet. Can you just give a ballpark number of time taken in receiving invitation in today's time. Much Thanks !!

Hi Karl, I hope this message finds you well. I really appreciate the information and issues you address on your channel. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue faced by several 2022 491 applicants who have been waiting for 20+ months having to redo PCC & medicals. Numerous 2023 applicants are receiving grants recently leaving behind many old applications, seemingly to show reduced processing times. It is disheartening to see individuals with similar occupations and fewer points, who applied after us, receiving their grants before us. Processing times have no meaning and despite surpassing these times on multiple occasions and engaging in follow-up communications, our applications remain in limbo. We fear that with the upcoming invites, our applications will be pushed further behind. I hope you will highlight this unfair treatment by the DHA towards 2022 applicants in your channel and help ensure fair processing. Thank you.
Hi Karl, yes. It's the ministerial direction 100/105, and then it's to our understanding that after priority cases which are now regional sponsored, and then the typical priority occupations it was supposed to be "visas are processing in order of date it was received/lodged" then it's the waiting Karl, we are waiting since Oct 2022. No issues, no complications, proactively renewed pccs thrice now, redid medicals as well, nothing else asked....after they get what they need from us then they go rogue on us. Nothing from them, no communication in almost 2 years other than 1 s56 for medicals. Not even a courtesy email or something to say that "Hey we are aware of your file " 22 plus months currently Karl. Please help us bring this to the media. Thank you and God bless ! 🙏
What's the percentage of dodgy students visa VS genuine students in Australia? I believe wehave hundred of thousands genuine students who's studying in our reputation Universities. And education industry contribute the highest for GDP. Please reconsider the decision.
i wrote to the prime minister's office with regards to the 35 year cap on onshore students they reffered the issue to home affairs but up until now no reply for me,i want to use that letter so that i can apply for assylum to the USA on being unfairly treated by the current AU government ,because we were misinformed and now ill treated we are literally treated as criminals because we are foreign students-we are victimised.The ban on work rights must be applied to all foreign students for it to be fair, now without the reply the immigration department in the USA will not consider my case,i have already talked to the lawyers there and they said i will be given assylum because in my country i faced such discrimination as well
Hi Karl, I appreciate you for the wonderful videos you do. Thanks for the effort. This is to bring to your attention that many 2022 files for the 491 Family sponsor and state sponsor have been pending. After several S56, 2022 applicants are still waiting for the grant. It's almost 2 years since the 2022 applicants have been waiting for a grant. We have paid huge amounts for the visa processing and again for the PCC and remedicals, yet we have not been granted a visa. Why is there so much delay? Why are 2022 files sidelined? Why are 2022 files not getting grants? How come 2023 files are granted and 2022 files are pending?? The applicants who applied in the year 2023 are getting grants, but there seems to be little to no movement in the 491 Family sponsored & state sponsored grants. It is heartbreaking to see that people who have applied in 2023 have got their grants, yet 2022 applicants have been sidelined, and all are waiting for the grant for the past 21 months. I have crossed the processing timeline too. People are so frustrated by the injustice of DHA. I kindly request you bring this issue to the light which would help us to get grants soon. Thank you!
Yes, Iam also one of the victim. Applied on Nov 2022 and still waiting for grant. Two S56's were requested & submitted but no update after that. Mr. Carl, Please help us to bring up this matter.
Hi Karl . Thank you for your video. I wrote this in hope that you can assist. Many 2022 applicants , myself included ,are waiting for their outcome. I personally have received an s56 almost 5 months ago and this was done the next day . We have been proactive and uploaded PCC without requests from the CO. We have uploaded cover letters , sent through GFUs and called the call centre and left notes on the system. I urge you on behalf of all who are waiting please highlight this issue because DHA is not following their own rules. They are supposed to be clearing cases according to date of lodgement but are not for some reason, yet there are non priority cases from 2023 that are finalized. Please help .
I have lodged my visa in 491 family sponsored for Victoria on 25 sep 2022 , its been 22 months i am waiting for my grant. Two time i have updated my pcc. I have furnished what asked in s56, its so frustrating
I took my English exam on the same day I lodged my 485 visa application (6th June 24) following the statement from home affairs that said "12 months immediately before submitting your application". However, case officer rejected the application mentioning that the "English exam must have been undertaken within three years before the day on which the application was made". What do you think about this? seems unfair to me they are using a previous statement I was not able to access at the momento of lodging my application.
Hi Karl, thanks for the vdo. I have curious with all the changes happening like reduction of experience eligibility for 482 visa but why is there no talk of reducing eligibility criteria for 191 visa. We live in regional Australia making it our home and we still have to wait for 3.5 years including 191 visa processing to get there. I wonder who would move from calm regional areas after living there for 5-6 years. Can the govt consider this with a petition or something? Something that needs a change.
For 186 TRT I completed 2 years of work experience but due to family being in India, I travelled to India frequently and did work from home for around 150 days. So do I need to wait for 150 days to apply for PR or no need to wait?
I am 491 visa applicant and waiting for the grant since DECEMBER 2022. Now its furstating situation and its affects in a emotionally and financially to me and my family as well. Why DHA is completely forgot the 2022 applicants????😢
@@ailsaustraliaAt the time we lodge our visa the processing times were under 8 months for 491, family sponsored and state sponsored both. So we expected to recive our grants at least within 18 or so. It is so unfair to make us waiting like this because we trusted the Australian Government statement of wellcoming skilled migrants, we really looking forward to contribute our tallents and skills to the further development of Australia , but we are getting anxious and doubtful waiting for such a long time for getting a tempary visa grant
I had to leave beautiful Australia last November, 2023 because of the flip-flopping on age and immigration policy after my 5 years of Sorjourn. I am happy these people have been removed from government. Australia should close their borders to immigration like Hungary and Co. So that the world will know what they stand for and not inconsistencies in immigration policies thereby wasting immigrants time. I miss the beautiful country, though. Highly liveable and more organised than even the US.
I picked Australia over US 10 years ago exactly for that reason: more liveable and more organised than US, especially when gun ownership is more regulated in Australia. I still stand by my decision today and would pick Australia again should I make the same decision again if I have to pick between Australia and US.
The USA is centuries ahead of Australia,the economy of Australia is three times smaller than the economy of California and also California's economy is bigger than that of all countries except China ,the USA is best and unmatched in ICT and engineering I have friends who moved to Australia decades ago but they had to go back to the usa.the USA is great and it is best on government policies and laws they dont flip flop like what Claire was doing,the usa has the best governance system on earth,and australia EU and others are its vasal states
@flemingmeendee6917 Okay. Mind you, I didn't mention economy but liveability. Australia's population is less than California's, with less crime, less homelessness, fewer illegals, etc. ICT requirements in Australia may be less than America because the need may be less as par 10% the population of America.
@@Crowns-surround_mi21 Australia has a population of 28 million and California has about 30million but The economy of California is about three times bigger than that of Australia which is 10 times bigger
Hi Carl, Most of the 2022 491 state sponsored visa lodged ones have received S56 for re medicals on 2nd and 3rd week of July 2024. But still no sign of those. Can we make a hope our visas soon? Can you make a video related to that kind of most significant issues.
I hope you are doing well, just in the hope that one day you will create petition on why Australian immigration asking skills assessments and English requirements who already study in Australia and had been studying more than six years or even top universities and reputed colleges why they are asking skill assessments. Government is saying that immigrants made this country worse we need skills immigrants and i think government has set those criteria and entry requirements for enrolment to the university and college and they already meet the requirements and asking skill assessments and English requirements from point of view this is useless and we are cash-cow immigrants. Why don’t you create a petition or else they should stop saying top universities in Australia.
Yes I understand and it sued to be not necessary if you studied in Australia but that has been in for so long a petition is not going to remove that policy
I’m currently applying for visa under University Lecturer occupation list. Does this student visa issues affect our application? A bit confused after looking at this video you’ve listed education is one of the demanding skills right now. Thanks in advance sir
Hi Karl, Regarding the delay in processing time for 186DE due to ministerial direction 105 for metro applicants, If an applicant is resident in metro area and the employer main address is in Metro area, both are in Sydney.but the work style is covering interstate for both metro and regional areas inclusive of business trips from Sydney to regional areas like Perth to conduct showcases, customer meetings and penetrations for the interstate network design, any idea if this case can have an exception to be treated as regional?
Hi Karl I'm Mechanical engineer with 75 points and applied a year ago. Do you see chances in near future or shall i try to grab more 10 points through PTE? Please suggest
I got offshore 491 visa few days ago, can I move to south Australia despite being sponsored by NSW, so that it cannot affect after 3 years while applying for 191
Hi dear my nominated occupation for ACT territory is computer network and system engineer , my 491 visa lodged in 14th june 23. When do you think i can expect it
@@DPJ1987 you need to have a valid skill assessment to lodge PR application in Australia. So for teacher AITSL is the skill assessment body. You need to have 7,7,8,8 in IELTS academics to have successful outcome for assessment or 4 years of study in Australia, USA, Canda, or UK
Soon they will want students to come back and study in Australia, this visa changes is affecting the country and economy. Why change them or is Australia doesn't want money or what?
They don’t seem to want if they are introducing a enrolment cap, among other things. The disastrous policy speaks for themselves. Future students should take their money elsewhere and discard Australia for their cruelty on immigration laws. Eventually, Australians will suffer the permanent loss of GDP from the collapse of international education industry.
Sir make video on hospitality industry of Australia career as a chef occupation and pathway in Australia for chef and on skill in demand visa 3 tier there is core skills pathway in that pathway chef will ne sute and acceptable but why they are not fix about chef in csol Core skill pathway and if they remove from chef from csol that it will be or can be in essential skill but it is not acceptable.

We have made numerous petitions and sending emails to MP but despite the processing times falsely reduced on the immigration website we know they are still processing January applications.

Hello Karl Konard. I am very big fan of you. And Thank you so much for your efforts in immigration. It really helped me. I am Nagesh from Bangalore, India. I had query on my PTE exam results. In writing section, I just fell short of 1 marks to achieve proficient level. All other modules I scored more than 65. Can you please advise? Whether shall I retake exam again or shall I go with revaluation to gain an point writing module? Your valuable advice on this much appreciated.
Amazing to see your content every week. I would like some suggestions from if you have a time to answer. I studied accounting which is masters MPA and currently oversees and have got married as well. Can I apply for 491 in all states or any others visa if possible. Please advise if you get the time. Thanks once again.
Thanks for the positive feedback. You will need to check state by state to see if you meet any of their requirements which would take too much time here, sorry

Hi carl, what do you think about the invitation round that was given out yesterday and the dar before in ACT, they have given to some specific occupations with very high points up to 135....what do you want to say about this. Thanks

Hey my name is Seni I am a chef living at working in WA, my work is willing to sponsor me and I have a eoi for wa with 491 95 points and 190 85 points my working holiday runs out on 14 oktober what is the best for me to do in this situation
Hello, I’m a KAPS qualified registered pharmacist from India, with PTE 90, NATI qualified. Submitted EOI in April 2024 at 90 points for 491 & 190. By when are the invites expected any idea? Is pharmacist occupation in demand? Or should I look for student visa now?
Hi Karl, I am currently at 85 points without state nomination points (Recruitment Consultant) ANZSCO - 223112. Superior English - 20 Age - 30 Work experience outside Australia -10 (skill assessment by Vetassess) Qualifications- 15 Partner skills - 10 Please advise if I can expect invite from any state for 190(90 points) and 491 (100 points).
This week, they extended the processing time for the 190 visa to 24 months. Does this mean it will actually take that long to get approved? Who can afford to wait so long for a visa? This is far too lengthy!
Each case is ultimately handled differently. I have seen examples of people submitting their visa, same nationality, same subclass and same occupation as mine, a couple days earlier, only to get their visa 6 months later than me. So, I would not hold my breath to that number all too much.
Hi Karl - thanks for the update as usual. Can you please confirm if we can claim points deducted for skilled employment by VetAssess for 190 (QLD ) and 189? And can you please expand on this topic as it’s very stressful for many migrants. Thanks
Hi Karl, great video as always. Wondering when SA will publish new rules. Also, I had lodged ROI (95points) in SA last year and the status is still pending. However, most of the applicants' status was updated as not invited by the 30th of June but mine is still lodged. Do you have any insights if it's an issue?
Thank for you sharing this valuable info, I’m couldn’t see chef and other hospitality staff on graph in mentioned document. Is there a reason for this?
Hey Karl, can you please shed some light on the future of 476 visa holders. Also should we move to regional areas if so which state is good for skill nominated programs? I am an electrical engineer with 80 points with 10 months visa left and looking for professional job.
Hi Karl, Pratik here, thank you so much for the detailed video. I want to ask if we can directly go o another regional area and not to our sponsored region? Or is it mandatory to go to sponsored regional area, stay for some time and than move to any Dra. Your guidance on this will help a lot. Thanks once again.
Great info as always. With the 190/491 allocations for this year do they allocate an amount per month or just do them all at the start of the financial year? Thanks
I and my wife are planning to move to Wollongong to work and stay there for at least 6 months before lodging an EOI for the 491 visa - pathway 1.

Happy to book a consultation session with you if you can shred some light on this.
Hi Karl, your videos are always fantastic and accurate-thanks for helping people. I’m working in healthcare and applied for the 186DE visa from the 482 on May 9th. At first, the processing time was listed as 3 months, but by July it had changed to 5 months, and now it’s showing 13 months. I’m unsure what’s going on. My 482 visa is still valid until April 2025. Do you have any insights on this?
No insights why the delays are happening sorry. Don't worry though they will get to you and your BVA will take over if the visa is not granted in time. Thanks for the positive feedback, much appreciated
@@ailsaustralia Unlike many others who create videos just for the sake of it, your videos are genuinely valuable and informative. Honestly, I always look forward to seeing your videos pop up in my RUclips notifications.

Hello Karl I have applied for EOI with 85 / 90 / 100 for 180, 190 and 491 respectively as software engineer. I will gain additional + 5 in January, 2025 for work experience. With the current situation, how does my chances of getting an invite look? Is it realistic to keep waiting for an invite?
Great video!!! Good day, i came accross one of your video about 191 residency requirements. As my wife is the primary applicant, she will move to australia with kids while i will spend more time back home (fly in and out and will be more than 90 days a year) due to old.age parents. Will this has an issue for me when my wife file for the 191 later ? Hope you can advise on this as it has been bugging us for months.

Come inflation and the dream bubble wouldn't last long 😅
I came to Australia in 2016 on a Working Holiday - then transitioned to Student, 485, and now on the 482. Next month is my 8 year anniversary and I’m left to wonder how much longer am I going to be ”permanently temporary.” Comparing the pathways in Europe I could have achieved PR there in 5 years. Really mind boggling how this system in Australia is truly broken and careless.

It's ironic that the housing crisis and inflation are being blamed on SC 500 and 485 visa holders, who aren't even buying houses. The real issue lies with Airbnb, wealthy individuals purchasing multiple properties, and foreign buyers. There should be stricter laws to address these factors. Universities in Australia thrive because of top international students, and the country continues to attract migrants. Australia's universities remain highly ranked thanks to the contributions of foreign talent. Everyone in this land once a migrant...
Eg what a joke, When they granting 491 they granting all the grants at same time, bulk grant, which is causing huge housing and job crisis in RDA.. 😢
Kicking out Clare O'Neil and Giles from their posts is the best decision ever but too late, they have left behind a mess with many dreams frustated and families broken apart 😥. I'll be alone in Australia soon and my brothers, who are professionals with experience, are now looking a clear and reliable pathway in another country.
Yes it did not happen fast enough
Better the devil, you know. Tony Bourke is not known for his diplomacy skills.
Thank you so much Karl for your heart and attention to international students. Sounds like there is hope for international students like me who's over 35 years old. I hope the new minister will reconsider and do something in favor to us. Not only us student but also our hopeful family are devastated and broken hearted because of this new policy. Looking forward for a positive update soon.
May be 35 age PSA rule has been closed I am also suffering
It is closed but, us, existing students need some compensation as transition period. We accept all the rules but it is very unfair for us. @@SumiandStellaChannel-np4ze
So whats the point of coming to aus for studying ? Might as well stay back home, study there and get some work experience. Then apply directly
Do u want your work experience paid in dollars or other currencies?
@@linalie3224 Did you understand my comment ?
Me and my family also waiting for 491 family sponsored visa grant since 2022 November , all the necessary documents were submitted in the first place to prevent unnecessary delays, provided PCC for the second time as it got expired through the waiting , After 16 months of the lodgement they sent a commencement email , we were so happy because we hoped that we would get our grant whithin 2 months after that , but sadly we got another s56 for to redo medicals After 20 months of the lodgement date because at that time our medicals were older than 18 months. (Usually they say medicals expires after a year, but as my observation they accept medicals within 18 months)
If they were efficient to evaluate our decision ready file whithin that 18 months that would not happen . I dont really know why they take such a long period to evaluate an application , In this smart and technological world they work as really primitive level of speed. Actually it cost us a significant amount of money to renew medicals and pcc s again and again . Some people are getting grants even before they hit even 12 months and here we are waiting nearly two years for the same visa grant after paying same amount of money, so unfair system DHA run.😥😥😥
What was your occupation? And points?
What hurts more is that percentage of offshore to skilled migration is highest meaning, the job market has no value for students who study here. In America, the primary filter for job applicants is a local degree. Students spend a fortune on gaining education here and people from back home just apply directly for jobs here & move. Disappointing state of affairs. Why isnt offshore migration or refugee migration capped, which is the real problem?
Rightly said!! It's so disappointing and discouraging. It's like our purpose to them was only to contribute to their education economy and that's it.
Because just because one gets education is Australia doesn’t mean they’re more qualified than people who have a ton of experience and knowledge from offshore!
In fact, Gratton institute even said that the students who graduate from Australia actually earn 10% lesser than the migrants who have studied overseas!
Hi Karl, I’m a 491 Family Sponsored visa applicant from 2022, and I'm experiencing significant delays. It's frustrating to see 2023 applicants getting grants while 2022 applicants, who’ve even completed re-medicals, are still waiting. The uncertainty is affecting our lives, especially with career opportunities slipping away. Could you please discuss this issue in one of your videos and offer any advice on what we can do? Thanks for your support!
Thanks for letting us know. The problem is we don't have DOHA data on this issue that they are deliberately slowlying this caseload down. If you know of any please let me know but we will raise it in the comments section

Thanks for your reply, Karl. I appreciate your willingness to raise this issue. I'll send an email with the evidence I've gathered so far regarding the delays in processing 491 Family Sponsored and 491 State Sponsored visas for 2022 applicants, who are being overlooked in favor of 2023 applicants. Hopefully, this information will shed more light on what's happening and help you bring attention to it in your content. Looking forward to your feedback!
Thank you for your update information in relation to the Australia immigration ......
Thank you for your positive feedback.
Thanks for the information, Carl. You always give accurate insight on ongoing issues, if you don't mind, could you please let me know the wait time for an overseas 491 Subsequent entrant?
Thank you Karl for keeping us update. I'm still hoping good changes for age over 35yrs old to get transitiion visa as soon as possible.
Hey karl.... I got my 491 visa after 15 months 😊😊😊(offshore)
Congratulations.. Can you tell?.. Which occupation do you get?
God will always bless you Mr Karl.
Much appreciated thoughts!
That was a masterclass in polite roasting! Thanks Karl.
Hey Karl! Could you do a show on visa processing times for the 190 visa? The global processing time tool on the DOHA website doesn't seem to make sense, as the timelines keep changing every few months. Keep up the great work, cheers!
Thank you Carl, I wrote to the Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission Victoria complaining about the lack of a transition period for the 485 visa. I understand certain nationalities have advantages for certain visas, but this visa is tied to paying and completing a course, so everyone who paid and completed the course should be eligible. Please talk more about this.
We are talking about it as much as we can. Please let me know thier response so we can focus on it again
@karl please make a video of enrolled nurse pathway to permanent residency and how easy it is to get PR as an enrolled nurse
Hi karl I hope all is well . Me and hundreds of people are Waiting since October 2022 for 491 visa state sponsored as I am actively seeking an answer to our hold up I entertain my self on multiple Facebook groups with hundreds if not thousands more people in the same shoes the question is should we just forget about it an go on with our life’s or wait they asked us for medical and police twice already while they are granting 2023 this can’t be a backlog cause of lack of resources this is intentional if they don’t want us why don’t they just refuse it and get it over with why the wait?
See the comment above that things seem to have started moving
What was your occupation? And points?
Easiest way is to find a partner. All those visas atm are under overwhelmed process procedures and probably luck of immi employees.
I studied and worked in Australia for 7 years, being checked sending pcc from Australia and my home country almost every 1,5 years. Was always working on payslips, legaly, paying taxes. Atm Im waiting 17 months to get my 491 visa approved even though I lodged all the documents with supporting documentation and all I got after 14 months was commencement email which is nothing than put me on stand by without the reason, never got s56 as all docs are up to date. Im from European, non terrorism country, most of my documents are from Australia, all is easy to check but it looks like it doesn’t matter as I see people who have never been to Australia, having less points and getting grants quicker. My job is on priority list all around Australia. All these processes are very weird.
Hi Karl,
Thanks for the update. I regularly watch your vidoes from past 1.5 years. They have been really helpful in understanding the scenarios there.
I have logged my EOI under skill nomination (OHSE Advisor) in Dec 2023 for 190 and 491 though have not received any invitation yet. Can you just give a ballpark number of time taken in receiving invitation in today's time. Much Thanks !!
Hi Karl, thanks for another informative episode!😊
Thanks Hasitha forn your continued support!
Karl, what ever came of the 485 age cap petition? It was a top 100 petition by volume of signatures- surely they haven't just ignored it?
I'm reporting the case of having an age limit of 35 for the 485 visa without any transitional period to Channel 9 and Channel 7 News. This has to be discussed publicly. Please go to your news channel and do the same, and hopefully, they will start to listen to us. 😢
Still waiting to hear back but I expect the same rubbish policy line they ahve delivered before. Lets see
Hi Karl,
I hope this message finds you well. I really appreciate the information and issues you address on your channel.
I am writing to bring to your attention an issue faced by several 2022 491 applicants who have been waiting for 20+ months having to redo PCC & medicals.
Numerous 2023 applicants are receiving grants recently leaving behind many old applications, seemingly to show reduced processing times. It is disheartening to see individuals with similar occupations and fewer points, who applied after us, receiving their grants before us.
Processing times have no meaning and despite surpassing these times on multiple occasions and engaging in follow-up communications, our applications remain in limbo.
We fear that with the upcoming invites, our applications will be pushed further behind.
I hope you will highlight this unfair treatment by the DHA towards 2022 applicants in your channel and help ensure fair processing.
Thank you.
What is your point and your job occupation?
Thanks for letting us know but do you have any DOHA data that we can hassle them with? If you have please send it into our office
Hi Karl, yes. It's the ministerial direction 100/105, and then it's to our understanding that after priority cases which are now regional sponsored, and then the typical priority occupations it was supposed to be "visas are processing in order of date it was received/lodged" then it's the waiting Karl, we are waiting since Oct 2022. No issues, no complications, proactively renewed pccs thrice now, redid medicals as well, nothing else asked....after they get what they need from us then they go rogue on us. Nothing from them, no communication in almost 2 years other than 1 s56 for medicals. Not even a courtesy email or something to say that "Hey we are aware of your file " 22 plus months currently Karl. Please help us bring this to the media. Thank you and God bless ! 🙏
What's the percentage of dodgy students visa VS genuine students in Australia? I believe wehave hundred of thousands genuine students who's studying in our reputation Universities. And education industry contribute the highest for GDP. Please reconsider the decision.
i wrote to the prime minister's office with regards to the 35 year cap on onshore students they reffered the issue to home affairs but up until now no reply for me,i want to use that letter so that i can apply for assylum to the USA on being unfairly treated by the current AU government ,because we were misinformed and now ill treated we are literally treated as criminals because we are foreign students-we are victimised.The ban on work rights must be applied to all foreign students for it to be fair, now without the reply the immigration department in the USA will not consider my case,i have already talked to the lawyers there and they said i will be given assylum because in my country i faced such discrimination as well
Hi Karl,
I appreciate you for the wonderful videos you do. Thanks for the effort.
This is to bring to your attention that many 2022 files for the 491 Family sponsor and state sponsor have been pending. After several S56, 2022 applicants are still waiting for the grant. It's almost 2 years since the 2022 applicants have been waiting for a grant. We have paid huge amounts for the visa processing and again for the PCC and remedicals, yet we have not been granted a visa. Why is there so much delay? Why are 2022 files sidelined? Why are 2022 files not getting grants? How come 2023 files are granted and 2022 files are pending??
The applicants who applied in the year 2023 are getting grants, but there seems to be little to no movement in the 491 Family sponsored & state sponsored grants. It is heartbreaking to see that people who have applied in 2023 have got their grants, yet 2022 applicants have been sidelined, and all are waiting for the grant for the past 21 months. I have crossed the processing timeline too. People are so frustrated by the injustice of DHA. I kindly request you bring this issue to the light which would help us to get grants soon.
Thank you!
Yes, Iam also one of the victim. Applied on Nov 2022 and still waiting for grant. Two S56's were requested & submitted but no update after that. Mr. Carl, Please help us to bring up this matter.
We will bring this up next week. Thanks for sharing your situation
Hopefully 35 age rule is deemed😊
that age gap on 485 visa hits me badly… all my plans for my family got ruined…😢
I mean, international students and temporary residents don’t have voting rights so they are the easy target
Unfortunately that is very true
Hi Karl . Thank you for your video. I wrote this in hope that you can assist. Many 2022 applicants , myself included ,are waiting for their outcome. I personally have received an s56 almost 5 months ago and this was done the next day . We have been proactive and uploaded PCC without requests from the CO. We have uploaded cover letters , sent through GFUs and called the call centre and left notes on the system.
I urge you on behalf of all who are waiting please highlight this issue because DHA is not following their own rules. They are supposed to be clearing cases according to date of lodgement but are not for some reason, yet there are non priority cases from 2023 that are finalized.
Please help .
I have lodged my visa in 491 family sponsored for Victoria on 25 sep 2022 , its been 22 months i am waiting for my grant. Two time i have updated my pcc. I have furnished what asked in s56, its so frustrating
I took my English exam on the same day I lodged my 485 visa application (6th June 24) following the statement from home affairs that said "12 months immediately before submitting your application". However, case officer rejected the application mentioning that the "English exam must have been undertaken within three years before the day on which the application was made". What do you think about this? seems unfair to me they are using a previous statement I was not able to access at the momento of lodging my application.
Hi Karl! Thank you for your videos! Could you please make a video for tiring processing times?
Yep for sure, next week!
Is there a specific reason why 491 family sponsored takes years with multiple S56s? Is it maybe regarded as chain migration?
Thanks for the update. I am not sure which way australia is going...?
I got s56 request, only 28 days given. I will need more time to arrange those documents. what to do?
😂 nothing will happen in 28 days. For me grant after S56 came after 180 days. So plenty of time left
Hi Karl, thanks for the vdo. I have curious with all the changes happening like reduction of experience eligibility for 482 visa but why is there no talk of reducing eligibility criteria for 191 visa. We live in regional Australia making it our home and we still have to wait for 3.5 years including 191 visa processing to get there. I wonder who would move from calm regional areas after living there for 5-6 years. Can the govt consider this with a petition or something? Something that needs a change.
Not likely they will change anything but they should make the 191 processing done within 6 months max, then people can do as they please
Thanks Karl for another reliable update.
Your welcome!
For 186 TRT I completed 2 years of work experience but due to family being in India, I travelled to India frequently and did work from home for around 150 days. So do I need to wait for 150 days to apply for PR or no need to wait?
I am 491 visa applicant and waiting for the grant since DECEMBER 2022. Now its furstating situation and its affects in a emotionally and financially to me and my family as well.
Why DHA is completely forgot the 2022 applicants????😢
Yup in same situation, very frustrating situation mentally & financially. Mr. Carl Can able to assist on this in anyway's possible.
No, remember processing has times have blown out and you should not make permanent plans until your visa is granted.
@@ailsaustraliaAt the time we lodge our visa the processing times were under 8 months for 491, family sponsored and state sponsored both. So we expected to recive our grants at least within 18 or so. It is so unfair to make us waiting like this because we trusted the Australian Government statement of wellcoming skilled migrants, we really looking forward to contribute our tallents and skills to the further development of Australia , but we are getting anxious and doubtful waiting for such a long time for getting a tempary visa grant
I had to leave beautiful Australia last November, 2023 because of the flip-flopping on age and immigration policy after my 5 years of Sorjourn. I am happy these people have been removed from government. Australia should close their borders to immigration like Hungary and Co. So that the world will know what they stand for and not inconsistencies in immigration policies thereby wasting immigrants time. I miss the beautiful country, though. Highly liveable and more organised than even the US.
Sorry to hear you had to leave. Lets hope the Minister can do a better job than the last
I picked Australia over US 10 years ago exactly for that reason: more liveable and more organised than US, especially when gun ownership is more regulated in Australia. I still stand by my decision today and would pick Australia again should I make the same decision again if I have to pick between Australia and US.
The USA is centuries ahead of Australia,the economy of Australia is three times smaller than the economy of California and also California's economy is bigger than that of all countries except China ,the USA is best and unmatched in ICT and engineering I have friends who moved to Australia decades ago but they had to go back to the usa.the USA is great and it is best on government policies and laws they dont flip flop like what Claire was doing,the usa has the best governance system on earth,and australia EU and others are its vasal states
@flemingmeendee6917 Okay. Mind you, I didn't mention economy but liveability. Australia's population is less than California's, with less crime, less homelessness, fewer illegals, etc. ICT requirements in Australia may be less than America because the need may be less as par 10% the population of America.
@@Crowns-surround_mi21 Australia has a population of 28 million and California has about 30million but The economy of California is about three times bigger than that of Australia which is 10 times bigger
Hi Carl,
Most of the 2022 491 state sponsored visa lodged ones have received S56 for re medicals on 2nd and 3rd week of July 2024. But still no sign of those. Can we make a hope our visas soon? Can you make a video related to that kind of most significant issues.
Yes there is always hope
I hope you are doing well, just in the hope that one day you will create petition on why Australian immigration asking skills assessments and English requirements who already study in Australia and had been studying more than six years or even top universities and reputed colleges why they are asking skill assessments. Government is saying that immigrants made this country worse we need skills immigrants and i think government has set those criteria and entry requirements for enrolment to the university and college and they already meet the requirements and asking skill assessments and English requirements from point of view this is useless and we are cash-cow immigrants. Why don’t you create a petition or else they should stop saying top universities in Australia.
Yes I understand and it sued to be not necessary if you studied in Australia but that has been in for so long a petition is not going to remove that policy

Hi Karl, Regarding the delay in processing time for 186DE due to ministerial direction 105 for metro applicants, If an applicant is resident in metro area and the employer main address is in Metro area, both are in Sydney.but the work style is covering interstate for both metro and regional areas inclusive of business trips from Sydney to regional areas like Perth to conduct showcases, customer meetings and penetrations for the interstate network design, any idea if this case can have an exception to be treated as regional?

Soon they will want students to come back and study in Australia, this visa changes is affecting the country and economy. Why change them or is Australia doesn't want money or what?
They don’t seem to want if they are introducing a enrolment cap, among other things. The disastrous policy speaks for themselves. Future students should take their money elsewhere and discard Australia for their cruelty on immigration laws. Eventually, Australians will suffer the permanent loss of GDP from the collapse of international education industry.
Yes eventually a new government will see what a mess the Labour party has made and make the slow road back to recovery to attract students again

This week, they extended the processing time for the 190 visa to 24 months. Does this mean it will actually take that long to get approved? Who can afford to wait so long for a visa? This is far too lengthy!
Yes that does seem over the top. We will cover these times next week
Each case is ultimately handled differently. I have seen examples of people submitting their visa, same nationality, same subclass and same occupation as mine, a couple days earlier, only to get their visa 6 months later than me. So, I would not hold my breath to that number all too much.

I want to ask if we can directly go o another regional area and not to our sponsored region? Or is it mandatory to go to sponsored regional area, stay for some time and than move to any Dra.
Your guidance on this will help a lot.
Thanks once again.
Please book a time to discuss complicated issues
Great info as always. With the 190/491 allocations for this year do they allocate an amount per month or just do them all at the start of the financial year? Thanks
They usually spread them out as evenly as possible trough the rest of the financial year
@@ailsaustralia thanks cos I need time to get that superior PTE mark
Hello sir
Are Indian students of 12th commerce (without Maths) eligible for getting admission in Bachelor of Architectural Design in australia
YOu need to check with the uni's for that answer
I and my wife are planning to move to Wollongong to work and stay there for at least 6 months before lodging an EOI for the 491 visa - pathway 1. She will be the main applicant and her points test score will be 70. Could you please advise what is the chance to be invited in this case? Thank you.
Happy to book a consultation session with you if you can shred some light on this.
Sorry no way of answering what are my chances questions but best of luck
Hi Karl, your videos are always fantastic and accurate-thanks for helping people. I’m working in healthcare and applied for the 186DE visa from the 482 on May 9th. At first, the processing time was listed as 3 months, but by July it had changed to 5 months, and now it’s showing 13 months. I’m unsure what’s going on. My 482 visa is still valid until April 2025. Do you have any insights on this?
No insights why the delays are happening sorry. Don't worry though they will get to you and your BVA will take over if the visa is not granted in time. Thanks for the positive feedback, much appreciated
@@ailsaustralia Unlike many others who create videos just for the sake of it, your videos are genuinely valuable and informative. Honestly, I always look forward to seeing your videos pop up in my RUclips notifications.
Hi Carl, thanks for your video! I’ve watched some other immigration videos where it was suggested that the new points system may come into effect earlier than expected (end of this year, early next year) what are your thoughts on this? Thanks!
Doubtful, too many changes they would have to make . Is it possible? I guess if they really put their minds to it
@@ailsaustralia thank you for taking the time to reply!
Hello Karl
I have applied for EOI with 85 / 90 / 100 for 180, 190 and 491 respectively as software engineer.
I will gain additional + 5 in January, 2025 for work experience.
With the current situation, how does my chances of getting an invite look?
Is it realistic to keep waiting for an invite?
Sorry we cannot answer what are my chances questions but best of luck
Great video!!!
Good day, i came accross one of your video about 191 residency requirements. As my wife is the primary applicant, she will move to australia with kids while i will spend more time back home (fly in and out and will be more than 90 days a year) due to old.age parents. Will this has an issue for me when my wife file for the 191 later ? Hope you can advise on this as it has been bugging us for months.
There is no residency requirement for the primary or secondary applicants for the 191 visa. Please book a time if you would likemto discuss it further
