Case Summary

An IT professional whose Tasmania Subclass 190 nomination was refused due to inconsistencies in his payroll documentation had the decision reversed just three business days after we lodged a targeted reconsideration request with comprehensive explanatory evidence.

Background

An IT professional working in Tasmania applied for state nomination under the Tasmanian Subclass 190 program. In September 2024, the nomination was refused. The primary reason centred on significant inconsistencies in his payroll documentation, which cast doubt on the genuineness of his employment. The initial application, prepared by a previous agent, had submitted a generic set of documents without addressing the unique complexities of the case — no coherent narrative or supporting explanation had been provided for the discrepancies.

Challenges

Nomination refused due to inconsistencies in payroll documentation that made the employment appear non-genuine
The applicant's occupation pathway was contingent on state nomination, making a swift resolution urgent
The previous application lacked any tailored narrative or evidence to explain the irregular payment patterns
Employment history was characterised by unstable working hours and periodic cash payments requiring careful explanation

How We Helped

We immediately conducted a comprehensive analysis of the applicant's employment circumstances, compiling all employment-related documents from the start of his role. We engaged in detailed consultations to reconstruct an accurate record of his remuneration and devised a three-part strategy: drafting a thorough statutory declaration explaining the reasons behind the irregular payment patterns; liaising with the employer to obtain a detailed support letter acknowledging and explaining the discrepancies; and gathering additional corroborative evidence including bank statements, internal communications, and project records. Within two weeks of taking instructions — just 20 days after the initial refusal — we submitted a comprehensive reconsideration request.

Outcome

The reconsideration request was so comprehensive and persuasive that the Tasmanian state government approved the nomination without any further request for information — just three business days after receiving the submission. The applicant subsequently received his formal invitation for the Subclass 190 visa. This case demonstrates that a well-prepared reconsideration request, built around logical narrative and robust evidence, can successfully reverse a negative state nomination decision.
