2021年1月20日澳洲移民法的定期更新中更改了关于485签证的有关申请要求。
虽然移民局每隔几个月就会稍做修改,如图
这次修改造成了海啸般的巨变,下文会对比更改前后的政策变化,详细解释变化内容和影响。
485申请要求变化 根据最新更改的485签证的申请要求,其中485.211,如图: 其中具体条文: 485.211 The applicant: (a) has not previously held a Subclass 476 (Skilled - Recognised Graduate) visa that was granted on the basis that the applicant satisfied the primary criteria for the grant of the visa; and (b) has not previously held a Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visa in the Graduate Work stream; and (c) unless the applicant has nominated the Post‑Study Work stream in the application and meets the requirements of clause 485.232 or 485.233—has not previously held a Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visa in the Post‑Study Work stream; and (d) has not previously held 2 Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visas in the Post‑Study Work stream. 其中(b)和(c)是重磅炸弹,意味着任何人如果曾经作为485GWS或者PSW的副申请人,持有过485签证,则不再满足485签证的申请要求。 其中(c)的clause 485.232 or 485.233指的是偏远地区二签的情况,不收这个影响,但是依然要满足二签本身的申请要求。 关于二签的申请要求可以参考: 485法条更新对比 参考更改之前的法条: 485.211 The applicant: (a) has not previously held a Subclass 476 (Skilled - Recognised Graduate) visa that was granted on the basis that the applicant satisfied the primary criteria for the grant of the visa; and (b) has not previously held a Subclass 485 visa that was granted on the basis that the applicant satisfied the primary criteria for the grant of the visa. 只要求申请人没有作为485的主申请人持有过485;而1月20日的这次变化,把primary criteria字眼去掉,造成的结果是secondary criteria也就是副申请人,也不再允许再申请485签证。 至于新加的“has not previously held 2 Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visas in the Post‑Study Work stream”,意味着485用二签续了之后,以后也不能作为485的家庭成员再次持有485签证。 政策点评 本以为2020年已经够难了,2021一开年澳洲政府再给一记重杀,彻底毁掉了申请人们利用485主副申的方法留澳积累工作经验或者重读PY的操作。 这个同事也打击了留学产业,因为不少485副申本希望到期后再读书,毕业后作为主申请人再申请一次485.现在这条路也给彻底堵上。
