Is the government discriminating against Chinese and Indian Students?
What is the future of the 189 visa?

If the government implements the 485 age cap rules without any changes, all affected international students should demand that the Australian government refund their education fees with interest.
Agreed! Perhaps everyone should go down to the street and demand the refund for the money and for the years we spent
Yes I am also suffering
@@SumiandStellaChannel-np4ze have you wrote emails to your local MP and senators? It helps a lot in advocating. Please do that if you havent.
I sent a bunch of emails to them last week
@@rl2388 what's their response?
@@markbowers4241 If you are an immigrant, you will know how it feels. Yes, PR is NEVER guaranteed. We all know and 100% agree on that. But the issue is not that. The issue is that we measure the pros and cons and plan our study based on the rule that we will get at least the chance to get a 485 visa. If it does not lead to PR, then so be it. But getting the door slammed in our face because the government abruptly reduces the age limit to 35 (a 15-year difference from the previous rule!) is very unfair, especially for PhD students who received scholarships from many countries but chose Australia after considering the pros and cons. If the rule is imposed before students get here, they can make an informed decision to go to another country to study. This is the issue. But of course, we do not expect you to understand if you are not in our shoes
Karl you are so amazing and thank you for doing what you do for us immigrants specially for fighting for International Students!
All of us have the responsibility to look after people who may not be in a strong enough position to look after themselves. Thanks for your support
Thank you Karl and everyone in the team for your continued hard work and support! I'd like to share my sentiments to everyone as somebody who was a former international student here in Melbourne. Almost 8 years ago I moved to Australia from New York City in the hope of pursuing a better quality of life in Melbourne. I've spent all of my 30's working on this foundation via multiple visas starting from the Working Holiday, Student Visa, 485 , and now TSS 482. Although I am eligible for the ENS 186 coming up in November this year, there is still a big risk that my employer may not decide to nominate me once more. I've also submitted my EOI for the Skilled Visa 189 back in November 2023 with 90 points under Systems Analyst role. As you have pointed out in this video the 189 remains questionable and my chances with this are uncertain. Not a day goes by without the stress from my circumstance, and I can totally empathise with everyone who have been impacted by these poorly considered changes. Best of luck to all.
Hellow! Thanks for sharing your testimony. I heard this quite a lot, is there a reason why the employers are reluctant to sponsor employees? Especially in your case
Thanks for sharing your journey with us. We al wish you the best of luck
So what I hear is from immigrants is that they all feel that they should be allowed to stay because _________ < insert personal reason here. Nothing is a given in life, and life is certainly not clear
❤ Karl analysis always top notch !! First goto news for immigration news 📰
Thanks Kamal, much appreciated!
Thank you Karl Conrad.
I’ve signed the petition.
Thanks! The only replied I got is from Adelaide's MP saying he is considering my email regarding the 485 age limit. Well at least I did my part!
Well done, you did indeed. Keep following him up
Thank you for being the voice of International Students. We are affected of age capped. Hoping for still a access for 485 visa🙏.
Yes we are definitely still hoping and still fighting!
Thanks a ton, Karl for your meaningful and valuable insights. Kudos to your commitment in helping out all PR aspirants. Loads of love and blessings from India.
Thanks heaps for the support!
Thank you so so much Karl for speaking for us.
My pleasure! Wish we could do more
The industry is certainly facing some serious challenges given the contradictory policy changes of late, thank you for your advocacy and updates
Your welcome, thanks for the support!

@@rupinderroop9704 try it again later, I also have the same issue
These changes are seriously driving me crazy..... just not ready for any surprises any more Karl..
Yeah I can fully appreciate that. Hope fully no bad news from here on
Hi Karl, do you have any idea when the details of point reform will be released? I thought it would be released on the 14th of May but it seems not.
I think they wont announce it till July or later and then put it out there for public comment, so it will be a while yet before anything changes
Thanks mate for all of these useful informations.
No problem 👍
Glad you like them!
Hello Karl,
Thank you again for the straight speak and the petition. I am trying to sign this but I get an error: "Confirmation email error".
Also, can you advise what route the petition takes?
No living being is ever capable of heaping more injustice on another of its own kind than a human being is. This sums up our 485 situation.
Thanks,
Satya
It is working now, please try again. Thanks for your support
With enough signature, this petition will be present to the parliament to be heard, and the parliament will present a response to whoever launched the petition. At the very least, the voice will be heard.
First time landing here. This is gold content about the immigration system in Australia. So informative and funny, despite the tragedy of being a migrant playing this unfair game. Anyway, thanks for your work and good luck to us all
Thanks for that mate! All TAFEQLD Ashmore Carpentry will sign today and tomorrow
Wow! I'm going to study carpentry in TAFE QLD Ashmore later this year 😮
Thanks so much everyone
Petition signed successfully!
Fantastic!
Hello, Karl. Thank you for the weekly update as usual. It has become my ritual. Just one question. Do you think there will be another targeted 189 invitation round before July? Thanks a million.
Thats the problem, nobody knows but somehow I doubt it
@@ailsaustralia okay let me put in other words. Do you think there will be a round before the new points system, Karl? I am so worried about this new change. Thank you for your help
@@youssefgergis7360 again, no one knows. Not only Karl doesn't know, if you go and ask other migration agent/lawyer, they don't know either. We all want to be surprised like Dec 8, 2022 but that doesn't seem likely.
To successfully sign the petition, we need to provide our email to receive a confirmation email and confirm the signature. However, there seems to be an issue with the government website. I signed on the first day, but when my friend tried today, they encountered an error message stating that the confirmation email could not be sent. Could it be that the government intended to block us from signing this petition?
Would not surprise me! Lets see if they fix it tomorrow. Please try then
Yup! I tried today and got the same error.
I have the same issue with the signing the petition. There is a bug it wouldn’t let me sign the petition
It is working now.
It is working now I do it today around 9 pm
Hey @Karl Thanks for keeping us in loop of the new updates from the government. What is your take on when will the Grants start again as we have the quota announcement now. As there is still a huge backlog. Thanks in advance
They have probably reached their lanning levels for grants already so are waiting for the new FY to begin to begin granting again, hang in there
It is usual for this time of year nothing happens. They wil fire up again in July
Hi Karl
As Australia's New Point system coming soon in July.
So the people who are going to submit their EOI before JULY are also going to effect with this new point system now ?
No chance the new point system will being by July since there has been no consultation process so far
My bet is points system change will affect all lodged EOI equally, regardless of when the EOI was lodged. As for when the change will take into effect? Only time will tell.
@estellebright2579 yes you are right. No one knows when the new point system will change.
Hello Karl,
I'm reaching out to inquire about the implications of recent changes for international students pursuing studies in construction sectors such as carpentry. As a carpentry student, I've begun to feel concerned about the potential impact on my endeavors. Investing time and resources into a two-year course, covering expenses for tuition, accommodation, and taxes, only to find that there may not be an opportunity for a post-graduate visa, feels disheartening. I decided to pursue this course due to the limitations I faced in obtaining a sponsored visa, despite having over six years of experience in cabinet making.
Hopefully the opportunity will still be there for everyone
I'm curious about the legal grounds for challenging the age cap on the 485 visa. If we want to challenge the age cap through a class action, could principles of basic common law theory, such as laws being set prior and Sections 108 and 128 of the Constitution constitute a legal ground of doing so?
Its difficult, lets hope that won't be necessary
Sir, salute for your effort and hard work on 485 visa age issue.
So nice of you Manoj, thanks
Thank you Sir..for helping International Student..you are big help for us.❤
Dear Karl, big fan and thanks for providing all the information. By when you do you think visa grants for 190 will start in full flow? Now it seems bit slow with almost no grants..
Thanks for your support, much appreciated. 190's should fire up again when the states open up again after July
Thank you so much ..u r great man❤
So nice of you
The numbers they are discussing are definetly off.
Most people dont understand the difference between onshore and offshore application difference.
Cutting migration numbers will result in raise on aat applications i wonder how they will manage that. Because a lot of visa refusals are not based on reasonable grounds.
Yes for those onshore who get refused most will go to the AAT
Hi Karl, something is wrong with the petition and I am getting an error on signing the petition. it shows unable to send confirmation email error. It might seem that the system has error due to system errors out to send confirmation email.
It is working now, please try again. Thanks for your support
Hi AILS Team,
If there are no new 189 invitations and 190quotas are limited why did they just increase the wait times for 190 visa processing by 25%? Will there be an update video on processing times?
Appreciate tour efforts!
Yes we will, next week
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I couldn't sign the petition it is giving the message 'Unable to send confirmation email, please try again later.'
It is working now, please try again. Thanks for your support
government should be fast process which people applied 190 and 491 visa. because people are wait more than 12 months.
Hoping they will get stuck into again when the FY year begins in July, good luck to you all!
Based on your experience, do you think there will be another round of 189 invitations before July, considering only 8,300 invitations have been issued out of 30,375.
Thats the whole problem, nobody knows the answer to that
Highly unlikely. Remember the quota is not the same as how many invitations they will issue, but how many 189 visas they are able to grant in that financial year.
A quick question, I was planning on starting with the PR 189 visa process, what do you suggest I do, wait or start immediately? Please respond
@@justyrahiljohnson4438what I can tell you based on my personal experience and other peoples story is, it’s always best to start the process of migration, such as practicing English and preparing for skills assessment. You will never know when the invitation will hit you. I understand there are pending policy changes but some of those are not changed, such as English levels, work experience, skills assessment. Focus on those aspects that government favours, instead of things like PY and NAATI.
@@estellebright2579 Heyy thank you so much for replying. Your words are a relief. Thanks again 😊
Thank you very much for the video. I have a question:
If someone obtained the 485 visa (means this person was under 35 when they graduated), would they have to be under 35 when applying for the 485 extension? Or is the age limit not mandatory for the extension of the permit?
I'm not sure if I explained myself well. Thank you in advance for your help.
No age limit on the extension
Hi Karl ,
Is there a right to a 1-year extension even if the regional area study the diploma ? I mean I studied Chef and I living in Perth also I am 37 years old . I got 485 visa . Can I extension 1 year ?
Thank you for helping out with the petition but it keeps sending error message of cannot sending confirmation email 😢
It is working now, please try again. Thanks for your support
I applied tourist visa for taking osce exam they refused 2 times , they told they are not satisfied even though approval given by ahpra , osce exam can only be taken australia but they are not allowing
I know it is sort of crazy, sorry to hear that
Karl it seems when one is signing the petition there is an error msg coming such as unable to send confirmation email. Could it be that government has disabled the option to sign this petition? Many are reporting this error.
Maybe Claire is disrupting our protest?
It is working now, please try again. Thanks for your support.
Hello,
Thanks for the videos and updates. I appreciate it. I had a quick question, is the new skilled demand visa age restricted? I am 50 years old, looking to relocate to Australia permanently. If not, do you know by when the application will be open? Thanks a lot.
We are not sure but the current 482 is not so the new one is unlikely not be as well. Stay tuned for updates
Thanks for starting the petition Karl. For some reason it gives an error saying 'Unable to send email confirmation' whenever I try to sign the petition.
I put up a nw link, try that
@@ailsaustralia Hi Karl, tried the new link, still the same error. I tried to sign the petition by searching it Via Aph website but still the same error is popping up.
Link is not working
Karl, could you please make a new video about claiming points before deemed skill assessment ? We know that it is prohibited for NSW, but how about other states? Did you have any visa refusal for that? Thanks
We have not had any issues with other states or the 189 visa. As far as we know only NSW has that issue
karl is our hope now
Not only me!
Dear sir i have 190 visa in South Australia and not able to get a job.
Hi Mr.karl
It’s worse few months actually
Me being a recruiter for chefs .
7 nominations got refused with no reason at all.
Reason they mentioned for few of the restaurant own that they don’t need chefs 😂
It’s so funny restaurants can’t open without chefs .
Restaurants owners are struggling bad and shutting their restaurants and it’s genuine requirement and they are willing to pay the right amount.
Are chefs going to be capped out too?
Thank you
I know a terrible example of the department being told to follow a general priciple of refusing that really makes their own decision making process look stupid
Tried to sign the petition but getting an error message: Confirmation email error. Unable to send confirmation email, please try again later.

Over 7772 people have already signed the petition, we have 20 more days to go! Please promote and raise awareness to increase support to this petition guys. Let’s make the count a symbolic 35K mark. 💪🏼
Go home. Not needed
We feel cheated. We were given visa under different conditions and it is drastic unforeseen change at this stage. We would have chosen not to come if the rules were made clear upfront.
Yes that is the crux of it, make the rules clear when people come and stick to them while they are here
We worked so hard during the covid time as I am working in the health care sector and this is what we are getting back in return.
Yeah I know, they are a selfish lot Australian's
Government never promised you PR. It was your hidden agenda. Go home
Hello, the petition says it has error. I am unable to sign.
Please try again later or tomorrow or refresh your browser and see what happens
Might I just add... I am a mature bachelor's student. This feels like my last chance at studying and building a career in what I find meaningful, so I take my studies seriously. Whereas I have come across many who use this career path only for a PR, only aiming for passes... It does not seem fair to limit with age, and even more so without a legacy clause/transition period. I feel used with my time, effort and finances. I am not comparing one to one, but I now get a deeper understanding of the mistrust and trauma held by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Understand how you feel. Lets see what happens
Legalized scamming by powerfull education oligarchs.. the only thing you can do is to spread news to all your friends to not spend their savings to education mafias.
Thank you so much for everything you are doing to help!! Also, I wasn't able to sign the petition. It says: unable to send confirmation email. Could anybody sign it?
No everyone is unable to. Thanks for trying. Please try tomorrow night we will hassle them to fix it in the morning
@@ailsaustralia I just did it, so it is working now!
Please explain the different between invitations and planning levels. What do you think about 189 round in this year?
Will cover this next edition, thanks for your suggestion
Hi Karl

Hello Karl
What happens to the offshore applications, who have waited for more than 1 year fulfilled the all requirements and just Waiting for the grants and our age is not reversing and still have to wait for 3 more years to the get the 191 after fulfilling all the requirements for 491. We don’t see any future 😢😢😢?
Dinesh when you have lodged the 491 your age does not matter anymore. There is no minimum age for the 191 visa, so relax, hang in there and your time will come
Thank you Karl ❤
The link to sign petition didn’t work. It said ‘unable to to send confirmation to email something.’
Disappointing, perhaps the department is sabotaging our petition. Please try again tomorrow

Thanks for the informative video karl. Are you seeing any RNs getting invited for 189 with 70 points (no experience)?
Not recently, only through 190 sponsorship
Thanks 👍
Your welcome
Sir, i wanted to ask you a doubt.
As per the latest EOI update, around 4000+ applicants are there only from an electrical engineering occupation.
In that 2096 applicants with 70 points for subclass 190.
In the current financial year, as everyone knows that there are no significant number of invitations received.
Also, there are a ton of applicants who have points above 80...
My question is, what is the point of applicants below 80 points ?, are the investment of these applicants not recognized, or are the australian government considering them as only a backup plan ?
Kindly reply!!

thanks karl. im so happy i found your channel
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you so much for this information. I want to ask what visa categories can I apply to come to write the AMC exam part 1 in Australia because there is no exam center in Nigeria. I would also love to travel with my husband and daughter.
You are one of those in this country, who still consider immigrants a human🙏🏻
Not you Indians.
Thank you for your support.
Do you think Diesel motor mechanics will be considered for 189 in future?
Or for 190?
Yes they still should be
I am worried too because I will be turning 35 this year on the same date 1st of July and my 4th semester will finish in October. I didn't know whether the Australian government would give post-study work visas or not after the 1st of July. It's a depressive phase for those who are doing their post-graduation and willing to get their 485 visas.
Join the effort by emailing your local MP, senators and uni vice chancellor.
Still could be that being 35 will be alright but lets hope they give a transition period so everyone can relax
Just a comment out of the subject. Loved the meme "confused Nazaré" used in the video. That was funny!
Thanks that was our editors edition, I will let him know
nice to have petition
Thank you for your support.
Can we expect RDA after July? Can we expect rain invitation of 491?
I’m also unable to sign, there’s an error in the system/link.

It is working now, please try again. Thanks for your support.
What's your pov for 188a visa grants to applicants who already lodged visas. Will they really grant visas to those who already lodged or its completely stopped
They have provided 1000 spots for grant, basically forcing you to either wait years or withdraw. I don't think it will stop processing per se but certainly won't grant visas quickly as it was in the past.
Looks like they will process but not sure how long it will take. Best of luck
The link is working now please everyone who’s watching sign the petition!
Thank you yes it is. Its about 4,400 so far and climbing
2022 was the golden year in the history of 189 visa! There has never been a year of visa rain like 2022 and sadly never again will be...
YOu are probably right as the new version will be launced maybe at the end of the year with a new points test and a new name
Nice updates....
Glad you like them!
Thanks Karl, is there any chance of 189 invitation round for the current financial year?
Highly unlikely. But I am all for a pleasant surprise.
I wish there could be but a lack of transparency on that issue keeps us all in the dark
What happen to all slots left
@@dinushiekanayake6817 they are used for previous invites and grants, not for new invites.

@@ailsaustralia I done it after comment. 😊 thanks.
I am studying a PhD here in Australia, all my fees and my salary are paid by Australian's taxes. Now the posgraduate visa age was cut, I'll be forced to left the country after I was fully trained and educated by Australian's taxes.
The fight is not over yet, don't give up hope
Which is the irony of what government does don't you think? Taxpayer funds an international student but government just want to toss them away for no reason other than being "over 35". I bet those taxpayers are going to be furious if they realize that.
Hi karl; States and territory allocated will be increase ?? ( for new invitation)
Can't tell until the next FY officially begins.
Certainly more than last year we expect, yes
@@estellebright2579 increase …. İf Australia want to make new house they must get skilled workers( engineer health finance occupations) but not student
When are state and territory allocations are expected? Year2024-25
Now that the announcements are made, i hope DHA processes the applicants under 190,491 and 189. Since lodging in 2023, the turnaround time has changed more than 6 times!
Hope they will be soon!
Hi karl, i m living in south australia and have a job in agricultural field with 80 points what you reccon about my application for next year, and will states get their normal quota in this financial year
Hi Karl. Can I sign the petition if I'm a temporary resident here in Australia?
yep, no worries
Thank you so much for this information.will this new rule also affect an international applicant offshore that is already 37 years old and want to enrol for a masters program for 2025 intake ?
Currently the petition is for the current students. So there is a high chance that future students including you will be affected. So better wait or find plan B

I talked to so many students who are impacted, one thing was common among them, they are all going through severe depression, uncertainty and feeling being betrayed. We respect Govt. decision for the betterment of the country but existing students should be excluded from this proposed policy. We as a student complied with all the visa conditions during our study period, now its Govt turn to keep those promises that were mentioned on our visa conditions, including the scope of post study visa after graduation.
Agree!
Absolutely right
Any idea when the new points system is coming into effect?
probably not till next year
