Hi Friends ,

When CO, request for any documents & when we upload the documents , is it a good idea to send a email to skill.support@homeaffairs. as well that we submit the required documents ??  

It can probably give peace of mind but it will not effect practically, i believe.... will not make any difference. Lot of applicants are waiting after uploading docs and it is not quick as per recent trends...

Watch out, the moment you exceed 28 days, all the days will be deducted not only the days on top of 28

Hi Hanna,

will you please provide give me a link where this is stated in the legislation? I think this is a grey area,  there is nothing in the legislation says about 28 days, less or more, or even if you spend more than 28 days then all days will be deductible.

thanks

Hi Waseem,

 

I understand your concerns and you’re right. The legislation applied here is that of Australians having in total 20 days of paid leave within 12 month period which is about 4 weeks (28 days if you include weekends). They not only apply immigration legislation but also that of the citizens of Australia. Does it make sense? The logic to follow is, if you work full time you collect a certain amount of time for your holiday which does not exceed 28 days within 12 months period. We have learned from previous applications that all applicants exceeding 28 days from the date that they traveled got questioned about it by the CO who deducted ALL of their offshore period if they were away for more than 28 days within 12 months period as they didn’t consider that a lawful annual leave since Australians generally don’t have more than that either. However, applicants who traveled less than 28 days were granted without questions asked even though that they applied exactly 2 years after their stay in the regional. Furthermore, Australia’s immigration law services posted about it and on many MARA websites you’ll read about 4 weeks being the maximum. Hope this helps.

Hi Waseem,

I understand your concerns and you’re right. The legislation applied here is that of Australians having in total 25 days of paid leave within 12 month period which is about 4 weeks (28 days if you include weekends).

@Mkaur does this clarify your question as well?

@Mkaur@Waseem correction: 20 days of paid annual leave with weekends it makes up to 28 days.

Hey Guys, stay positive. I have contacted many people whole have been on holiday for more than 40 days without pay and have received their visa. It all depends on how often you have traveled, whether you were paid annual leave for your time off or not. Mainly people been questioned are those who have received their 489 offshore. 

I saw a person case who was granted 489 in Jan and this person was offshore when the visa was granted. He traveled to India for 28 days in June. He mentioned that he was paid but how can these many hours of annual leave accumulate in 6 months Every case is different not everyone is entitled to annual leave or paid holidays. 

Its good to cognizant people to add some time but who have applied already, let's give them hope to be positive and wait for a positive outcome. 

Positive Affirmation for you all: We are happy and we are Permanent resident.

Let's enjoy this moment by saying this affirmation until we receive our outcome. We all are heading to the good times of our life. Please stay positive

He was 1 year 11months. We had to do the whole medicals again as Bupa said the Hap ID were not linked. Happy though that all this is behind me. This group has been very helpful. Wish you all the best!

It all depends with the case officer. Just pray they don't because Bupa appointments can take long at the moment.
