澳洲移民局最新动态
第一部分:签证申请动态
配偶移民:
移民局希望以电子的方式递交, 包括第二个阶段的PR 申请; 即使第一步是邮寄递交的, 第二步也可以在网上递交;第二阶段的申请, 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, 所以一定要保证邮件准确;
邮寄方式递交的申请, 移民局通常会在48小时内出具收据;递交的时候, 最好能提供体检和无犯罪记录公证;
大约有25%的签证申请人在递交的时候没有签证, 移民局会在8周左右的时间给出决定是否拒签;
如果是电子递交的申请, 申请人可以更改住址, 护照和邮件的信息;
雇主担保签证
移民局建议当申请人补充材料的时候,要在网上上传,不要发邮件给签证官;
在过去12个月,457工作签证的申请下降了39%; 移民局希望申请人递交的时候尽可能递交全部需要的材料,可以迅速做出决定;
由于申请数量的下降, 移民局审理工作签证的签证官也从200人降到150人。
目前的审理模式是案子不在有一个签证官负责, 会有几个签证官负责一个案子, 为了避免由于休假造成的延误;移民局会优先审理材料齐全的申请, 如果缺少材料, 会延期审理;
关于废除LABOUR MARKET TESTING (雇主广告)的建议, 考虑到目前澳洲劳工的具体情况, 不太可能废除; 其它别的建议很有可能在今年年底前开始实施。
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;申请人可以在线递交, 即使不满足居住的条件, 移民局不帮助申请递交, 需要本人自己在线递交。
第二部分:澳洲移民局即将开始改革移民签证
自由党政府本周在移民局官网发布征求建议报告,将大力改革目前的移民政策,包括技术移民、400短期工作和457长期工作签证,商业移民签证和雇主担保等,本次政府征求民众建议,主要有六大原则
1. 简化签证设计,以便容易理解和操作。Simplicity in design supports increased comprehension and usability.
2. 设计结构务必灵活以确保满足技术移民计划。Structural flexibility is critical to ensure changing skilled migration needs can be met.
3. 就业结果应该成为澳洲技术移民的主要驱动力。Employment outcomes should be a key driver for Australia’s skilled migration programmes.
4. 技术移民必须支持和弥补澳洲劳动力市场。Skilled migration must support and complement the Australian labour market.
5. 移民诚信度是维持继续推动澳洲技术移民计划的重要条件。Integrity is essential to maintain the continued acceptance of a skilled migration programme.
6. 支持澳洲政府的移民政策改革放松计划,这些政府繁文缛节对澳洲企业造成了高昂的成本。Support the whole of government deregulation agenda to reduce red tape and regulatory costs for Australian business and industry.
本次改革建议方向包括以下几个建议,值得我们探索自由党移民部长的动机,我们为大家分析一下:
1、 英文标准:
考虑到各行业对英文要求不同,以往一刀切的英文标准不符合事宜。同事应该考虑到给予临时移民机会提高英文。
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:比如厨师走457要雅思5分,实际上中餐馆的大厨完全不要这个英文水平也可以工作。但是也要鼓励大厨学英文,是不是课程制定一个标准,比如雅思4分可以办理工作签证,但是2年后(要续签或者办理移民)必须雅思5分?
2. 职业评估机构:
以往技术移民是行业评估机构来决定是否满足一定的要求获得通过,但是是不是应该考虑这些机构的角色未来是不是还有权利来决定这个要求。
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:职业评估机构的权力很大,无形中削减了移民局的权力。有些申请人可能条件差那么一点点,没有拿到评估就无法移民工作,移民局一点办法也没有。提出这个问题,可见移民局试图获得更多话语权。
3、职业评估清单:
以往技术移民是又SOL和CSOL清单来决定,采用ANZSCO标准。但是随着社会分工变化,好多需要的职业没有出现在清单上,要如何解决这个问题?持续修改清单?是不是可以设计一个非移民清单,把澳洲肯定不需要的职业定义出来,其他的职业就自然而然全部可以移民了。
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 Labour Agreement.
To address these issues, the continued use of ANZSCO within the skilled migration visa programmes 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.
点评:这个质疑非常好,澳洲的移民职业清单太狭窄了,不利于国家发展和吸收各种人才。非常赞同政府对移民职业多元化的建议。
4. 技术移民打分制度
目前的技术移民制度过于复杂,应该讨论是不是取消移民打分制度,代之以立法完善和个性化的技术移民政策。这样就代表独立技术移民更加简洁,只要看基本要求就可以了。或者采用人力资本的概念,只看移民申请人的年龄、语言、学历和工作经验。
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 programme 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.
解析:此建议感觉就是回到了霍华德时代的移民政策,大胆开放,使得澳洲获得了12年的高增长期。俺强烈支持澳洲自由党政府尽快扩大移民,简化签证手续和流程,吸引更多人才留在澳洲,只有一个开放的澳洲,才能干吸收能量,扩大体能,长远造福下一代,否则学校欧洲保守主义,老百姓个个懒惰不干活,只能每况愈下。
