移民局最新发布关于签证申请和相关政策的一系列调整和改革意向,澳桥在此为大家及时分享和解读。
一、签证申请
1.配偶移民:
- 移民局希望大家未来都使用网络在线申请,因此提交申请时需要格外注意,确保邮箱的信息准确无误;
- 申请TR时如果已经使用邮寄或柜台递交的亲,两年后申请pr时也可以采用网上递交方式;
- 配偶签证两年TR转PR时, 移民局过去是以邮寄的方式通知申请人, 现在改成电子的方式, 所以再次强调一下各位亲要保证邮箱地址准确无误;
- 如果近期需要递交的亲已经打印好了材料,为了避免浪费全球纸资源,还是可以采用邮寄或柜台面交的方式,但是递交的时候,最好能提供体检和无犯罪记录公证;
- 对于有意无意签证过期后递交配偶移民的亲们(小黑黑们),移民局会在签证递交8周左右的时间里通知是否拒签。
2.雇主担保签证
- 移民局建议在线申请递交后,在没有批准前如果需要补充材料, 请在网上直接上传资料, 不要发邮件骚扰签证官;
- 移民局希望申请457签证时,申请人尽可能按照Decision Ready的标准递交全部需要的材料,这样可以增加案件审理的效率,加快下签速度;
- 目前,该类别案件的审理模式已经改为多个签证官共同负责一个案件;
- 移民局会优先审理材料齐全的申请;如果缺少材料,则会延期审理;
- 劳动力市场测评(Labour Market Test)根据目前情况无法进行更可靠的调整,因此暂时维持原状;其余的改革措施很有可能在今年年底前开始实施。
3.其它类别:
- 目前申请过桥签证BVB, 审理周期是一个星期。 移民局建议不要太早递交申请; 如果原来递交的申请被批准, BVB 的申请费是不能退回的;
- 居民回程签证(RRV),PR续签,目前统一在墨尔本审理,需要本人自己在线递交。
二、移民签证改革
本次改革将覆盖技术移民、400短期工作和457长期工作签证,投资移民和雇主担保等签证类别,旨在使用更加简易、灵活又可靠的申请标准和操作流程来满足澳洲的劳动力市场需求,减少澳洲行业产业经济体不必要的支出。
本次改革内容包括:
1、 英文标准:
Consideration however could be given to aligning English language proficiency with industry standards. Alternatively, proficiency could be linked to intended activity reflecting the Australian standard for that occupation. The English language proficiency requirement within the temporary migration category could also be reviewed to ensure temporary migrants are encouraged to develop greater proficiency leading up to potential permanent migration. English language proficiency could also be linked to work safety requirements.
解读:本项标准的改革可能会降低某些行业和职位申请TR时的的语言要求,如厨师等技术工人;但是为了鼓励这些申请人继续提高语言水平,更好的适应在澳洲的生活,在TR转PR时,可能会要求高一点的语言水平。打个比方,457时雅思如果只要求4分,但是转186时的雅思要求会到5分。
- 职业评估机构:
Consideration could be given to the current and future roles both assessing authorities and peak industry bodies play to determine minimum requirements for prospective migrants to work in Australia
解读:评估机构之前砍掉了过多的有移民意向的申请人,因此之后移民局可能会拿回一部分话语权,增加移民申请的通过率。
3、职业评估清单:
Currently, occupations on both the SOL and CSOL are listed as ANZSCO skill level 1-3, with a minimal number of skilled level 4 occupations. However, many occupations in demand by Australian businesses remain unlisted on the SOL and CSOL, or are not listed in ANZSCO. In such cases, the only alternative is for Australian businesses to nominate prospective migrants through a Labor Agreement. To address these issues, the continued use of ANZSCO within the skilled migration visa programs could be considered. Alternatively, CSOL could be retained with the possible inclusion of an expanded list of ANZSCO skill level 4 occupations. A further option could be to develop an occupations list that excludes occupations available for migration to Australia, rather than seeking to prescribe occupations that facilitate migration.
解读:目前的移民职业都必须在SOL、CSOL清单中,并且受到ANSCO skill 1-3的描述限制,但还有很多澳洲经济需要的职业并未体现在这些地方,只能部分通过劳务合同来满足。之后,除了会继续扩展CSOL列表的职业之外,还有可能制定出一个新的清单,指明哪些职业澳洲不需要、不能移民即可。
- 技术移民打分制度
While the importance of attracting high quality migrants remains integral in any future settings, the intrinsic value of the ongoing application of a points test will be evaluated in this review. Specifically, it is possible the removal of the points test could still deliver a successful skilled migration visa program if well-legislated and tailored. This could mean independent migration could be less process -driven and achieved through robust visa criteria requirements.
Alternatively, a purer human capital model could be implemented, one designed to attract higher-valued skilled migrants, such as those who are qualified in skill level 1 occupations. Consideration could also be given to making the points test more flexible and direct, imposing fewer burdens on prospective migrants. This could include retaining only the essential elements of human capital, such as age, English language proficiency, educational qualifications and employment experience. This would inject skills which contribute to the general growth and enhancement of Australia’s labour force.
解读:为了保证吸引到高素质的移民大军,移民局未来可能会取消现有的技术移民打分系统,改为采取一种个人能力模型,只考虑年龄、语言、教育背景、工作背景等比较关键的因素。
总而言之,无论年底会出现怎样的改变,可以预期一波宽松的移民政策即将开始。
