More than 80,000 dollars in university tuition, living expenses, the time we spent, all these investments were in vain and we can't get specialized work even now. Before we applied, they should have told us that the graduate visa does not apply to those over thirty-five years old, so that we choose another country.

Thanks for this Karl! I think you're the only Immigration Lawyer that speaks up for international student. I am finishing my Bachelors in Early Childhood this week and my visa expires end of August. I just turned 36 January and now I'm lost. If it wasn't due to covid I could have finished my course last year. Also the government needed more Early Childhood Teachers and this new laws is ridiculous. I understand the need for reform but they could have been more fair and placed a grandfathered clause. I spent almost 5 years studying and now I just need to go home as there is no visa option available. Sponsorship needs 2 years experience and how can I get that if without the 485? It really breaks my heart. Is there a way to sue this government for this discrimination? If yes let me know, I am willing to take action for this unfairness. Being a teacher, teaching children of fairness and respect for diversity this decision from the government is opposed to all Australia stands for when it comes to equality and respect for diversity. This is indeed discrimination due to age.
I’m 22 and planning to study masters in Australia but after seeing these changes in 485 I am really discouraged to apply for the student visa. Although I’m not directly affected but this government is not at all trustworthy.

They should have allowed students who are already enrolled, completing, started and have student visas granted before such a decision . Very unfair. Few tips: When you are studying please network and try to find employer sponsored 494/482 onshore. When you are studying you can transition to 491 with part time work right following state rules. Spouses who are young can apply student visas.

Hi Karl we all love the information you deliver, it’s very helpful. I have a question, I am on 494 visa and I have already applied 191 visa on 12 April and still waiting. If 494 visa can search for other jobs for 6 months than can I stop working with my current employer? I have very good high paying opportunities but I am on sponsorship. Just wanted to know if I can start other work since I have already completed 3 years on 494 and it’s already 3 months that I have applied 191.

What is your analysis on the next 189 round, will it go back to 65 for healthcare sectors ?
I have 80 points for 491 … is dere any chance that I can get invitation in this July 2024 round
Hi Karl what about Bangladesh as India and Bangladesh border is very near.
Looks like trade occupations are almost the only viable option for the 189 Visa at 65 points, especially for international students who can only gain a limited amount of Australian work experience or don't have much overseas experience (and most likely won't be able to obtain 20 points from the English test). Best case scenario, considering 10 points for Proficient English, is 75 points total for diplomas and 80 for bachelor's (highest points for age, regional study, Australian qualification). The minimum points needed to receive an invitation in this case was at least 95 with a few exceptions at 85 points for non-trade occupations, this would rule out everything but trades. For example, even "Civil Eng. Draftsperson" is at 85 points, and that's at a diploma level meaning you get less points for your qualification.
@estellebright2579
15 күн бұрын
That’s not the full picture however. It is insanely difficult to get TRA skills assessment on time for some invitation rounds, now that a regular 189 invitation round is nowhere to be found. Superior English is not that hard to get if you genuinely use English on a daily basis and practice PTE test, since PTE is generally easier to prepare than IELTS. And you are meant to have good English skills anyways in an English-speaking country.
@estellebright2579
15 күн бұрын
And to be honest, 85 points aren’t that unreachable considering the below score structure: Age: 30 Degree: 15 (Bachelor or above) ASR: 5 NAATI: 5 Superior English: 20 Single: 10 Total: 85 Swap out NAATI to regional study also gives the applicant 85 points. Let’s just say PY is completed on-time, then we can have 90 points, though that is limited in eligibility. Point is, there is no hard requirement for work experience.
@estellebright2579
15 күн бұрын
But if you want 100 points, this is one way to go: Age: 30 Degree: 15 (Bachelor or above) ASR: 5 NAATI: 5 Superior English: 20 Single: 10 PY: 5 Regional study: 5 1 year Australian work experience: 5 Totalling 100. Or get 3 years of post-graduate work experience but without regional study. You cannot get to 100 points without some form of highly relevant work experience.
@mirco5546
15 күн бұрын
@estellebright2579 for sure, I'd do a lot of practice and try to get those 20 points as hard as I can, but realistically speaking, it's well known that chances are very slim for most foreigners who don't speak English as their native language.
@mirco5546
15 күн бұрын
@estellebright2579 to be honest, the points system is going to change soon, so there's that. But even then, since you're focusing on occupations that require a bachelor's, the Minimum is 95 points, with very few exceptions. I'm not saying it's impossible but nearly. The PY is only limited to certain sectors anyway, and I'm not sure many people will go down the NAATI path; not even sure they will keep those ones the system changes. Also, the few occupations that only require a diploma and aren't trades, are still being invited with a minimum of 85 points, so it's even harder.

What is still surprising to me that I have a PhD in climate science and I lodged a 190 visa application over 13 months ago and not yet received an outcome of it. The harsh reality for me is that I will not have any contract after the end of this year and all the position that is available required PR as a minimum criterion, and believe me there are many positions available. But because of not having PR I will be unemployed or probably driving Uber to support my family despite having the highest possible qualification of more than 3 years of experience in the field.
I wish voters of Hotham not to show the transition period for the current minister.

This is really painful for us over 35. I thought it was supposed to be skill based and not age based. This is just ridiculous. All this time and money spent on a false promise.
If it’s “just 5%” then why not grant grandfathering/transitioning visa for the mere 5% then? The attempt to explain is adding insult to injury.

@@rl2388 The increase doesn't make any sense because genuine students will think twice since you're not sure to get your student visa. This increase allows firstly and mostly Australia to get more money from rejected applications. With the same amount of rejection as before the increase, they will get 2 times more money. Now let's say they increase the rejection rate, and you have created a new source of income. I'm more shocked about the fact that nobody is talking about this increase and by the fact that it wasn't expected. We were told it wouldn't come true by July 1

@@jayson4602 I agree.. They are quite cunning.. If they make everything harder (age cap, GTE, saving account, etc) they should at least keep the visa fee stays the same. The university cost keeps increasing for overseas students, and yet they give us this kind of treatment. Once I heard an Aussie complaining about the working visa to my country (which is only around 300 aud). That is nothing compared to what we got here.

@@rl2388 I'm really disappointed. I should have chosen Canada over Australia. At least I could speak French in addition of English which would have probably helped me to for a smoother journey. I chose Australia because I'm from a French speaking Pacific Island (New Caledonia) and wanted to remain close of my home country. Probably not the best idea I've had in my life. I'll try to be optimistic. And I hope it will be fine for me and most people affected by the new crazy changes.

Hi Karl hope you have a good day,I'm planning to move to Australia till my end I have watched many of videos for visa and It seems I can't understand it very well,so I want to apply for the 190 visa and I don't know if I should need to be in Australia for that visa or I can apply in third world country.Thanks in forward

You might want to read the requirements on the website before going to KZread. 190 is a state nomination visa and requires a nomination by the state you are targeting. State requirements differ to each other. Some require you to live and have a job in that state for certain period before getting the nomination. That is WHY student visa and TGV is important

Thank you Karl, immigration broke us emotionally, mentally and socially. Knowing that we're only 5% of more than 35 years old, damaging us might be reasonable for them. We also contributed in the country, we have also families who will be affected and why they're not considering us. Is the petition has any possibility?

I believe they are lying saying that students over 35 are 5%. I believe a mass exodus is coming which is what they are trying to do. They want to deport people using age while retaining millions of dollars
What about someone holding the subclass 500 student visa currently onshore? Will they be eligible to apply for another student visa?

WoW! Thank you for making so many international students feel SEEN! you are the only lawyer/channel who seems to empathise with SO many of us who have spent our life's savings into coming here, and not to mention have sacrificed so much (family, friends) to be in Australia only to be crewed over. Thank you for making us feel seen and heard. This government is heartless.

Hello I need some advise. I am confused with my experience I have completed my 2 years of Masters of technology (enterprise systems and business analytics) IT Professional year is also done I have 1 year of experience as an Logistics Business Analyst And currently I am working as an Business Planning Analyst. So does this experience will be valid for PR ?
For those who are above 35, Spending 80K+ for nothing!! feeling cheated 😢 We have no other visa options, 485 is the only visa we have to gain work experience.
