Subclass 482 Nomination Approved in Under Two Hours for Non-Accredited Butcher Sponsor

Visa TypeSubclass 482

CategoryEmployer Sponsored

Case Summary

A first-time non-accredited meat processing employer sponsoring a Nepali butcher — who was anxious about both his student visa expiry and English test — had the nomination approved in under two hours and the visa granted within eight working days.

Background

The applicant, a skilled butcher from Nepal, was working at a meat processing company on a student visa. The employer, impressed by his skills, offered to sponsor him for a Subclass 482 TSS visa. Two key challenges existed: the employer was a first-time, non-accredited sponsor; and the applicant was experiencing serious anxiety about both the imminent expiry of his student visa and the compulsory English test requirement, which repeatedly caused him to delay sitting the exam.

Challenges

First-time non-accredited sponsor, which typically results in longer processing times than accredited sponsors
Applicant was significantly anxious about the English test and repeatedly delayed sitting it, placing his student visa and the entire application at risk
Tight timeline imposed by the approaching student visa expiry date
