IT security specialist still waiting for visa decisionafter 30 months
David Salamanca says he’s “lost the best years” of his life trying to navigate Australia’simmigration system.
Mr Salamanca applied for a 491 skilled work visa in May 2020 and is still waiting on a decisionfrom the Department of Home Affairs.
The 35-year-old Colombian IT professional has completed three diplomas, fi lled out countlessforms, done multiple police and medical checks, had overseas qualifi cations recognised, andhanded over thousands of dollars in application fees to the federal government, all in the hopeof building a life in Australia.
But more than two years after sending off his visa application, he remains in limbo.
I’m very disappointed because I have lost the best years of my life
trying to get something thatis benefi cial for Australia and for myself,” Mr Salamanca said.
Amid promises from the Albanese government to conduct
a “gutsy” review of Australia’simmigration system
He fi rst arrived in Australia in 2015 to improve his English and suss out longer-term jobopportunities. In Colombia, he had been working as a director of an IT company where heimplemented a security system in line with the internationally recognised ISO 27001 leadauditor standard.
Although the work restrictions on his student visameant he was unable to secure steady work in hisfi eld of IT, Mr Salamanca said he “fell in love” withAustralia after settling in Perth. He picked up part-time work as a cleaner, labourer, barista, a fooddelivery driver and a computer repairman.
“It’s a beautiful country,” he said, noting he could earnmore as a barista in Australia than he could as an ITprofessional in Colombia. “I was able to buy my stuffand live well and peacefully, even with those casualjobs.”
With his sights set on permanent residency and acareer in IT, Mr Salamanca applied for a graduate visa but was knocked back after his caseoffi cer judged that the diplomas he had completed in Australia were not relevant to hisspecifi ed profession.
The rejection meant he could not apply for another substantive visa while remaining in thecountry, and so he left Australia in early 2020, leaving his belongings in the share house herented in the Perth suburb of Bayswater.
In May 2020, he applied for a 491 skilled work visa after being nominated and invited to applyfor the visa by the West Australian government. In August 2018, the Australian ComputerSociety had assessed his skills as being suitable for migration under 262112 (ICT SecuritySpecialist) of the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classifi cation of Occupations code.
Mr Salamanca thought he would return to Australia on a bridging visa soon after he applied forthe 491 visa from overseas. But Australia’s prolonged border restrictions meant he was unableto return to the country before his bridging visa expired.
And now he can only return if and when his 491 visa is granted – despite receiving multiplemessages from recruiters trying to fi ll IT jobs based in Perth.
His migration agent, Reza Aein, of Perth-based Home Migration Services, said Mr Salamancahad provided up-to-date health records and police clearances after receiving requests for moreinformation from Home Affairs, but the department had still not made a decision.
“You fi nd so many good people in Australia trying to help you. But the main barrier is the visa,”Mr Salamanca said.
“You become like a slave of your own project. If you don’t get the job, you don’t get a life.”
A Home Affairs spokesman said the department did not comment on individual cases due toprivacy reasons, but noted almost 2.8 million temporary and permanent visas had beenprocessed since June 1, “reducing Australia’s visa backlog as the volume of new applicationscontinues to surge”.
“Over 2.5 million of these applications involved applicants who are outside Australia,” thespokesman said.
“The focus is on fi nalising temporary and migration applications lodged outside of Australia,particularly visas for temporary work, study and visiting Australia. This will enable morepeople to enter Australia more quickly, to contribute to the economy and help address skilledlabour shortages.”
On its website, the department says that 90 per cent of applications for the 491 skilled workvisa are fi nalised within 12 months if the applicant is nominated by a state or territorygovernment.
WA State Nomination Program changes
The WA Government has made changes to its migration program to support skilled workers looking to migrate to Western Australia including increasing occupations eligible for skilled migration in WA by around 60 per cent.
New occupations have been added to the Western Australian Skilled Migration Occupation List Schedule 1 (WASMOL Schedule 1) and the Western Australian Skilled Migration Occupation List Schedule 2 (WASMOL Schedule 2).
The new changes are:
No job offer/employment contract is required for subclass 491
No job offer/employment contract or work experience is required for Graduate stream for subclass 491 or 190
No demonstration of sufficient funds for WA State nomination
Competent English for all occupations
Applicants can be resident of Australia or overseas
The next round of invitations to apply for WA State nomination are anticipated to be issued in the third week of September 2022.
If you are subject to section 48 bar due to a visa refusal , that is not a problem. You can still apply for WA State Nomination under 491 visa.

The new visa settings mean:
Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) visa holders who have been unable to travel to Australia as a result of COVID-19 international border restrictions will be able to apply for a replacement visa. This will allow current and former Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) visa holders whose visas expired on or after 1 February 2020 to re-apply for a new subclass 485 visa of the same duration as their original visa.
Additionally, the Morrison Government will increase the length of stay on the Temporary Graduate visa from two to three years for Masters by coursework graduates, matching that of Masters by reseach graduates. Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector graduates will also receive a two year Temporary Graduate visa.
The new visa settings will also extend existing measures for students and temporary graduates to recognise time spent offshore studying online to count towards qualifying for a temporary graduate visa.

The Federal Australian government has amended the legislation to allow people with S48 bar to apply onshore for certain visa subclasses.
People with S48 bar will be able to apply for visa subclass 190/494/491 onshore from 13 November 2021.
Department of Home Affairs has amended the legislation to facilitate these changes.
Section 48 of the Migration Act says if your visa has been refused or cancelled while in Australia, you cannot apply for another visa while in Australia. So the applicants need to go overseas only to lodge the application.
