Alan
I am still getting to grips with this system of communication and how to
speak on this email system. So please excuse my “style�. One of my
younger colleagues will be “training me� as and from 2004.
You asked the question….
What do you mean by your comment about "those who have been advised that
the old targets do not have to be proven, i.e. pre-existing 410's must
now show capability of ability to support ones life in Australia."
You will know from your own experience that the policy of MIPLC and
myself since I began in this business of advice to migrants 20
years ago has always been to provide a holistic approach to the
process of managing the migration, that being said why do we make
the above comments?
Many visa applications were made during the last few years where there
have been exchange rates of
A$2.30 = £1 others when it was £1 = A$3.04
Then there have been Canadian Citizens who have applied for the visa
A$1 = 75 Canadian Cents and then it has been A$1 = C$1
And then Euros 1€ = A$1.50 or 1€ = A$2.00
How do you manage such a multitude of currency variances, products
and tax systems? Nobody can, handle this and that is why we see
this apparent shift of emphasis. Each country has different
exchange rate issues.
This means that the variance between what one left the departing country
with and what one has 4 years hence can vary significantly – therefore
one sees a changing emphasis on not having to prove the old or the new
targets but to ensure that one has managed ones affairs to the
satisfaction of the powers to be. Therefore the target on renewal has
no numbers to prove, however you must evidence adequate means of support
– in other words properly structured visa maintenance is the order of
the day. Where are the controls necessary – financial, medical
(insurance) and character to put it in three. This is why we place so
much emphasis on planning and starting with the right foundation and
this is pre-departure and not post-departure.
By means of example many migrants have got their tax and financial
planning wrong, on the health front , some have paid for the wrong
medical cover and others appear to have just lapsed their covers on
arrival (so we are reliably informed). Not good for a visa renewal.
And why 410’s are not researching sufficiently whilst on a temporary
visa as a guest of Australia? – leaves me personally staggered.
I am not alone in my opinion which is shared by others “in the business�
that the emphasis is switching to integrating the migration process in
order that there will be no problems on visa re-issue.
So when you say
Applicants have been required to demonstrate that they satisfy the 410
visas financial requirements ever since they were introduced.
Indeed but we see a changing philosophy beginning to appear – at long
last – the encouragement of 410’s as with other visa holders to get it
right. No doubt the Channel 4 programmes have been seen by many
interested decision makers – what will they think of inadequate
planning? – what will they want to see well organised migrants. Hence
the migration training programme, we are engaged in.
Best wishes for a Happy Xmas from
Geraint and the teams in UK, Australia and New Zealand.
