minimum work experience requirements!!
Hi,
Trust me to miss this one, what a mistake. I posted my application to Adelaide today (28th October 2002) as I didn't want to miss the 3 years out of 4 work experience minimum, which I thought applied in my case. Looking back through the website I understand that with my nominated IT ASCO Code for which the ACS gave me 60 points, I need to have worked 12 out of last 18 months - which I haven't, I only have 6 months in my nominated trade in last 18 months - but do have 3 out of last 4 years experience. So I assume that the application will be flat rejected? ....B*ll*cks Could anyone advise if this is generally so, and if so, is there a way that I can request DIMA to disregard my application - so they don't dent my credit card for A$1745? I'm hoping for a miracle (yeah right). Thanks in advance for any information. Cheers Paul Mc. |

But the rejection won't be communicated to you before a long wait for DIMIA to assess your application (which may take months, even more than a year). > Could anyone advise if this is generally so, and if so, is there a way > that I can request DIMA to disregard my application - so they don't > dent my credit card for A$1745? In practice, it'll be tough to withdraw an application that has got no reference number - DIMIA would be hard pressed to locate and identify your application without one. However, to get a reference number, you would have already have your credit card zapped the four-digit amount. So it's a catch-22 situation. Peter |

Unless you meet the basic requirement you don't even get to the points test, for which the 3/4 year requirement applies. However, if you were working in a different skilled occupation (ie another occupation on the Skilled Occupations List) then you'll be ok. Work experience for the basic requirement doesn't have to be in your nominated occupation, it can be in any skilled occupation. >> Could anyone advise if this is generally so, and if so, is there a way >> that I can request DIMA to disregard my application - so they don't >> dent my credit card for A$1745? >In practice, it'll be tough to withdraw an application that has got no >reference number - DIMIA would be hard pressed to locate and identify >your application without one. >However, to get a reference number, you would have already have your >credit card zapped the four-digit amount. So it's a catch-22 situation. If you sent the package by courier, you could always try ringing the courier company and asking them to retrieve it (assuming it's not yet been delivered) and return it to you. Jeremy |
Re: minimum work experience requirements!!
PS If he's trying for a visa under Skilled Designated Area Sponsored,
he'd be ok with just 6 months work experience (with a 60 point nominated occupation), provided it was in the last 12 months before application. And if he's applying for Skilled Australian Sponsored, changing the nominated occupation to a 50 point one (which would require a Vetassess assessment) might also be a feasible strategy. A migration agent could go through these options in detail.

Re: minimum work experience requirements!!
Yeah, I think I will attempt to request that the application is
withdrawn, also I'll ask the credit card company to block the payment and ask the courier company to retrieve it. Hopefully one of those will be effective.

Re: minimum work experience requirements!!
You'll probably find the credit card company won't block payment.
It's a guaranteed form of payment and can't be stopped, unlike a cheque in the UK. If the courier company's any good they should be able to retrieve it provided you get on to them before they deliver it. Otherwise you're going to have ask DIMIA nicely for your money back, and there's a high risk they'll say no.

Re: minimum work experience requirements!!
Escape from Alcatraz I think? I had the following email today from
APSC: "We have received your application for Independent Skilled Migration on 4/11/02, but are unable to process the payment because you have not authorised the specific migration fee of $1745 to be charged to your Credit Card. If you could please confirm that you authorise the amount AUD $1745 to be charged to your Credit Card we can continue the processing of your application. From the date of this letter you have a 14 day period to submit the outstanding amount. That is, we require your payment by the close of business of 19th November 2002. The date that we receive correct payment/authorisation becomes your new application date." So thats sorted then! Cheers Paul |

If you've kept a copy of the form (as you should have done) then you should be able to see exactly what you've done on the form. Good to hear it looks like you won't have to pay - it wouldn't have served anyone's purpose for your app to clog up the system either if it wasn't going to be accepted.
