昆州官网上周发布公告针对当前持有过桥签证但是收到昆州邀请递交190和491州担保的申请人必须告知昆州移民部他们过去任何拒签或签证取消的经历。
如果申请人当前持有过桥签证,且有签证被拒或取消的经历,那他们可能受S48条款限制,这就意味着申请人不能在澳洲境内提交州担保签证申请。
本财年剩下的时间昆州不会审理受S48条款限制的申请人,不过这一政策会在下个财年重新评估。
如果您受S48条款限制,昆州是不能担保您申请190和491签证的,所以昆州要求申请人撤回申请。
另外,应该也是有很多申请人给昆州发邮件关于澳洲和新西兰的互通,请求考虑受S48条款限制的申请人。但是昆州明确表示本财年不会审理这样的案子。
Bridging Visa holders: s48 bar
20 April 2021
If an applicant is currently on a bridging visa and has been invited to lodge documents with BSMQ for a subclass 190 or 491 visa, they must notify Business and Skilled Migration Queensland of any past visa refusals or cancellations.
If an applicant has received a visa refusal or cancellation whilst on a bridging visa they are likely to be subject to a section 48 bar – which means they are unable to lodge a state nominated visa (and most other visas) onshore.
For the remainder of FY20-21 BSMQ is not processing applicants who are s48 barred. This will be reviewed in FY21-22.
If you or your client is section 48 barred, BSMQ is unable to nominate for a subclass 190 or 491 visa and we request that the application be withdrawn.
Please do not contact BSMQ regarding the Australia – New Zealand travel bubble, to request a s48 barred application to be considered – as per above, we are not processing these applications in FY20-21.
