Those students who are eligible for 4 or 6 years of 485 do not care about the length of their work visa, because they will alomst definitely get 190 or 189 soon after graduate.Since the lists are all about shortage ones like nurse and teachers, it is just pointless to extend 485 for them. What a waste.

[flaviaarantes]

Great video as usual. I love following your channel. I hope in November when the 191 will come into effect they will facilitate to whom was here on 491 through out the pandemic with no help but contributing to the county’s recovery.

3:30 🤦🏻‍♂️ you have be phcking kidding me!

Although, it does make sense for them to keep GTE. Ambiguous rules like that gives them the power to refuse applications whenever they feel like it. That's *also* what canada's CIC has been doing forever

If you ask a bureaucracy if it needs more power, more discretion and less effort, would it ever refuse? Nah.

How much more time embassy will take to clear backlog ? my father is waiting from last 1 year for his subclass 482 visa now he is on bridging visa

[SirSerents]

Very informative video! Thanks for sharing. Love the Sundays updates 😀

Any updates to expect on the 50-year age cap of the 485 visa? With many countries around the world raising their retirement age to 67 and beyond this would be a good opportunity for this visa class to fall in line with what’s already standard in an increasing number of (western) countries around the globe these days.

[ajitghising]

What?? Why aren’t we eligible? Our 485 visa got wasted because of lock down and hard to find the relevant field and internship jobs and so on. We worked in the retail shops and run the country and we are not eligible!? This is so heart wrenching news. There should be extension program for those who got affected due to lockdown.

Hi Karl, can I ask when they give the visa to refugees residing in Australia?

[mewanjayasinghe]

Hello Karl, what is the minimum period that will take to process 189 visa grant for a tradie. ( Motor Mechanic General). ? I see lot of 189 grants for medical sector. but non for trade occupations. Is there a delay or are they prioritizing health sector?

[Taran_Singh]

Hi Karl,
I hope you had a great weekend.
Youtube suggested me your video and I am glad I came across your channel. If you could provide just a quick insight to a small question I would appreciate it.

I am a Business Analyst 8 months left on TR Visa do you reckon they would put Business Analyst job in 485 visa extension list for Current Visa Holders ?

[renuangural]

Why delay invitation process I am also long time

[IAmTired]

Australian Government should issue more PR visas rather than more TRs. Me and other mechanical engineers have to move from NSW as it is dropped from occupation list

[neilleckie]

Is there any word on invitation rounds for South Australia? Nothing seems to be moving since things opened last month. Thanks

[priyankachaudhary]

What about who is already on 485 and master course may extend or not? Thanks

[sylwiapankiewicz]

Hi, Karl . How can I get advice from you? Thank you.

[anilkumarkorlakunta]

Hi Carl,
Thanks for video..
For 494 and 491 visa suppose to have medicare, tax benefits and center link payments and residence status but the bill is under review.

Is it there any chance to get movement in that bill or any chance to get residence status for 494 and 491 visa holders..
Thanks..
