Moonlighting Taxi Driver Avoids Cancellation of 457 Visa!

Moonlighting Taxi Driver Avoids Cancellation of 457 Visa! "So, what are the lessons of this case: One: claiming that one did not know about conditions in one’s visa is very unlikely to get you very far. Two: showing that one accepts responsibility for breaching a condition, apologizing for the breach, and giving evidence that the breach is no longer ongoing will help. Three: showing that overseas family members who are receiving essential financial support as a result of the visa holder’s employment on a 457 visa will definitely help. Four: likewise, showing that the employment relationship with the sponsoring employer is ongoing, and that the employer will suffer hardship if the 457 visa holder can no longer work for the employer will also be helpful." http://migrationalliance.com.au/immigration-daily-news/entry/2016-02-moonlighting-taxi-driver-avoids-cancellation-of-457-visa.html

What do you need to be eligible to study in Australia

What do you need to be eligible to study in Australia Australia is home to some of the best universities in the world that attract students from all over the world. It also helps that it is relatively easy for people to come to Australia to study when compared to other countries. The main reason it is so much easier is that Australia’s government is more lax when it comes to students. People who come here to study are a net positive to our country; they are here to get education and do not get involved in illicit activities. They are also not a burden on our country, which is why one doesn’t see opposition to students like we do with other migrants. http://migrationalliance.com.au/immigration-daily-news/entry/2016-02-what-do-you-need-to-be-eligible-to-study-in-australia.html

Are Australian Immigration Laws for Refugees Fair?

Refugees are a result of the war While Australia and Europe are treating refugees with hostility, they are also pushing for military action in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and other Muslim Nations. They need to understand that war and poverty is going to force more people to leave their homes and ultimately come to Europe and Australia for refuge. What is actually needed is that the world leaders think over and understand the changing patterns of migration today.

More Trouble: Waiver of 8503 Won't Necessarily Get You A Waiver of Schedule 3!

More Trouble: Waiver of 8503 Won't Necessarily Get You A Waiver of Schedule 3! Suppose you have a client who has entered Australia on a visa that is subject to a “no further stay” condition (Condition 8503) but the client has managed to persuade the Department to “waive” that condition on the basis that “compelling and compassionate” circumstances have developed. Will the fact that the client has been able to get Condition 8503 waived also enable the client to get a waiver of Schedule 3 criteria on the basis that there are compelling reasons not to apply those criteria? http://migrationalliance.com.au/immigration-daily-news/entry/2016-02-more-trouble-waiver-of-8503-won-t-necessarily-get-you-a-waiver-of-schedule-3.html
