The Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate visa, Graduate Work
stream, requires proof with the application of having applied for a
Provisional Skills Assessment (PSA) for one of the occupations in the SOL list
as well as having obtained a positive assessment by the time of decision.
It appears that TRA has received a large number of requests to expedite Provisional Skills Assessment applications recently from applicants who have been asked by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) to produce a successful skills assessment to support their Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) application.
TRA has attempted to grant an expedition where reasonable, however, the volume of requests has resulted in unfair processing delays for other applicants in the queue and therefore TRA will no longer accept PSA expedition requests from applicants who chose to lodge a Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) application with the DIBP prior to receiving a successful skills assessment. A decision to expedite a PSA application for any other reason is at the absolute discretion of TRA.
It is therefore advisable to contact the relevant assessing authority well before applying for a subclass 485 visa as each assessing authority has its own assessment procedures, timeframes and charges. See http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/485-#
