Background

Mr. Li, a 42-year-old experienced General Manager with an MBA, had worked for 15 years at a well-known manufacturing company in China, accumulating extensive management experience and successful project cases. Mr. Li hoped to further his career in Australia and apply for the Subclass 186 visa to work as a General Manager in an Australian company.

Initial Consultation

Mr. Li reached out to our company through a friend’s recommendation. During the initial online consultation, our consultant thoroughly understood Mr. Li’s professional background, work experience, and future plans. After analysis, we determined that Mr. Li’s qualifications were well-suited for the 186 visa requirements and developed a detailed application process for him. Mr. Li found our plan to be reliable and reasonable, so he entrusted us with applying for a tourist visa first. Once the tourist visa was approved, Mr. Li came to our office for an in-person meeting where we discussed the 186 visa requirements and process in detail.

Preparation Stage

1. Skills Assessment:
   • We guided Mr. Li to choose VETASSESS as the assessment body and helped him prepare the necessary materials, including work certificates, job descriptions, and relevant qualifications. With our assistance, Mr. Li compiled a detailed record of his work experience, especially his achievements in management and project implementation. As a result, he successfully received the skills assessment approval.
2. English Proficiency:
   • Since Mr. Li needed to provide proof of English proficiency, we recommended that he take the IELTS exam. With our guidance, he prepared effectively and achieved an excellent overall score of 7.
3. Employer Nomination:
   • Mr. Li received a General Manager position at a medium-sized manufacturing company in Australia, and the employer nominated him. We assisted the employer in preparing a detailed job description and support letter, highlighting Mr. Li’s critical role in the company’s development.
4. Application Submission:
   • Once all the materials were ready, we assisted Mr. Li in submitting his 186 visa application via the SkillSelect system. The submitted materials included:
     • ①　Personal information and educational qualifications
     • ②　Skills assessment result
     • ③　English test scores
     • ④　Employer nomination letter and work contract
5. Health and Character Requirements:
   • In compliance with the Australian immigration authorities’ requirements, Mr. Li underwent a health check and submitted a health certificate. Additionally, he prepared a police clearance certificate to meet the character requirements for the visa.

Result

About three months after submitting the application, Mr. Li received approval from the immigration authorities. He successfully obtained the 186 visa and moved to Australia with his family to begin his new career.

Life After Success

Mr. Li assumed the position of General Manager at the new company, responsible for the company’s strategic planning and daily operations. He actively engaged in team-building efforts, drove company growth, and achieved significant results in a short time.
