  1. Hi karl, is there any update regarding student visas subclass 500. its been 70 days since I have lodged my visa and I haven't got any update till now. and I have applied for feb intake for level 1 university.

  2. how long does it take to process the Australian student visa application if i submit next month (for university of Tasmania).
    also do i have to pay my deposit( 6 months of tuition fees + 34 months of OSHC ) directly to the university of tasmania(UTAS) 's studylink portal or to the agent. since i am in Sri lanka, i have to use agent to complete application despite applying directly on the UTAS Studylink portal and got accepted to the university

  3. Hi carl,
    what if i am married before applying for the visa??? or before lodging the application for my visa? can i apply for spouse visa and my visa at the same time ? .
    ps. i am applying for 476 visa.

  4. Hi Karl, I am on 485 visa which is expiring after 5 months. i recently applied my wife's dependent visa, but processing times are 10 months. Is there any way that, I can try alternative method to process it early? Can I lodge tourist visa while 485 subsequent is in progress? Please advise. Thank You.

  5. Hi Karl
    Can you also share what is meant by Invitation round? Does it mean that all invitations are sent on the date when the invitation round is held…or can you get invitation email before or after the date of the round?

  6. Hi Karl,

    Would it be possible you to give some updates on government planning for the temporary visa holders stayed during Covid-19 lockdowns? Is there any possibility that government will consider to give permanent residency like New Zealand? Thanks in advance.

  7. Hey,
    If one has applied as a single applicant and lodged 485 visa and is travelling on BVB to home country as it's been 6 months but 485 is not granted then can one get married on BVB while awaiting for 485 Visa and then after the grant of 485 add partner as a subsequent entrant? Or have to wait to get married till 485 visa is granted?

    Please tell us which route will be right for me.?

  9. Hi Karl, So just to confirm, getting married BEFORE the invite and lodging of 190 visa application is OK? I''ve updated my status from defacto to MARRIED before my 190 invite and have recently gotten the invite and somehow have not seen a reduction in points in my EOI. not sure of it is a error on EOI side or?

  10. Hi Mr. Konrad. What happens if someone submits an EOI as a single person and he/she gets married to someone with competent English and a skill assessment after receiving the invitation to apply and lodging for Visa? In this case, the marital status is changed after getting the invitation but the 10 points are still intact. Is it going to cause a problem?

  11. I still don't understand why partner's occupation has to be same inorder to claim extra points. Does that mean everyone has to marry a girl from same occupation which neccessarily doesn't has to be. This is absolutely brutal for the people who wanna marry and settle down here.

  12. Hi Karl, can you make a video on citizenship about people like me who were stuck overseas because of Covid 19 travel restrictions. I was stuck overseas for more than 12 months and because of that I am not eligible to apply for citizenship. Please explain that situation and what is the option or any concession for that.? Thanks

  13. Hi Karl, are you planning any videos regarding wait times for 491/189/190? Immi stated they are working to clear backlogs, 3-4 months later and times continue to increase… thousands waiting 1-3yrs yet they are still issuing more and more invites.
    Thanks for your videos as always.

  14. Hi Karl,
    What if both have 491 visa granted on different year? 1 person granted on 2020, the other is 2021, what is the process? Would be the 2nd person is eligible to apply 191 with the first person?

  15. I’ll put a screen shot of this condition on Tinder. Hey Karl, I noticed I’m only one of 94 carpenters worldwide waiting for a 190 visa as of this January. Do occupations with such a low number typically wait longer than occupations with a large number of visas lodged? Thank you! Been waiting since March 2020

  16. Hi Karl, I entered de facto relationship with my partner, she is RN and I am Solicitor. My occupation isn’t on NsW skill occupation list which is posted NSW government website. However, my occupation is on the list of MLTSSL. I also meet age and English criteria.

    Could she still claim 10 points for being de facto relationship with skilled partner who meets age, skill and English criteria?

    Your answer is much appreciated. Thanks

    Also my husband passport has been changed how I can update my case workers about that?

  19. Thanks Karl. ..i am in a similar tricky situation..have to choose between migration and marriage…and for the long processing times…hope the government will change the law for good 🙂

  20. Hi, I was a student in Holmes institute in Sydney during the pandemic I happened to come back to due to my wife’s labour in 2020 and that to Covid situation and entire country was lockdown. Furthermore, I didn’t enrol in uni so EMBASY canceled my visa. Finally if I get ECOE from uni and apply for visa will my application will be successful.
