A challenging case, a long wait, and finally a positive outcome. 🙌

Our client’s appeal has been successful, with the case now remitted back to the Department for further processing. The Tribunal’s decision letter clearly outlines the case history, responses and submissions made by the representatives.

The next step is for the Department to reopen the file and assess whether any updated documents are required.

Another successful outcome, and another reason to keep fighting for the right result. 🇦🇺⚖️

Looking for a PR pathway with lower points? 👀

Our latest analysis of the 4 June invitation round identified several occupations that received invitations at 65 points, while also having relatively low EOI numbers.

From Air Conditioning & Mechanical Services Plumber, Drainer, Fibrous Plasterer, Glazier, Joiner, Roof Plumber, Solid Plasterer, Stonemason, and Wall & Floor Tiler, there may be alternative trade pathways worth exploring.

⚠️ But remember: today’s invitation trends can change, so choosing a trade based only on current points may not be the best strategy.

If you're planning your PR journey or considering a trade course, watch till the end and save this video.

Australia has introduced Ministerial Direction 119, replacing Direction 105 and changing the processing priority for certain skilled visa applications. 🇦🇺

So, who gets priority? 👇

🔹 Priority 1: Law enforcement & defence
🔹 Priority 2: Healthcare, teaching & construction
🔹 Other applicants: Processed after priority occupations, with applicants in Australia generally ahead of those applying from offshore.

📌 Direction 119 applies to a range of skilled visas, including 186, 482, 494, 189, 190, 191, 491, 887 and 888.

⚠️ Remember: this changes processing priority, not visa eligibility, occupation lists or visa requirements.

Not sure how Direction 119 affects your visa pathway? Talk to our migration experts at Stepping Stones Career Solutions.

🚨 RESPONSIBLE EOI PRACTICE MATTERS

If you’ve received an invitation and have multiple active EOIs that you no longer need, please withdraw the unused EOIs.

Every invitation round has a limited number of places. Holding onto EOIs after receiving an invite can potentially prevent another applicant from getting the opportunity they’ve been waiting for. 🎓🇦🇺

If you’re a **migration agent**, please consider implementing this as part of your practice and encourage your clients to keep only the EOIs they genuinely need.

🤝 **Let’s give others a fair chance.**
We’re all part of the same migration community, and responsible EOI management can make a real difference to someone’s future.

📢 **Share this with your friends, colleagues and clients.**
