Background
Mr Chan, from Taichung, applied with his wife and two children. He wanted to move from a 482 work visa to Australian permanent residence.
Main concern
He wasn’t clear on the timing and documents for 186.
Our approach
After two years of work, we prepared the 186 transition stream documents early.
Process and outcome
He received permanent residence through the 186 transition stream in about 30 months.
Adviser’s comment
Planning 186 early makes the move from work visa to PR smoother.
