What does this notice show?
It records a subclass 186 visa grant, rather than nomination approval or the issue of a bridging visa. Australia's Department of Home Affairs describes subclass 186 as a permanent visa that allows eligible skilled workers nominated by an employer to live and work in Australia.
Frequently asked questions
Does nomination approval mean the 186 visa has been granted?
The employer nomination and the applicant's visa application are separate assessment stages. The evidence for this case is a visa grant notice showing subclass 186 and Granted. A nomination approval alone should not be described as the applicant receiving a subclass 186 visa.
Does a bridging visa mean permanent residence has been granted?
A bridging visa notice is different from a subclass 186 grant notice. When reviewing a case, check the visa subclass and application status, including the distinction between Received and Granted.
