Immigration case library: Australia, United States and Canada
PremierVisa Group's case library brings together published visa, nomination, invitation and skills assessment records by project. Read the reviewed case summaries, then follow the original records. Different decision stages are clearly distinguished.
How to read these records
Visa grants, nomination approvals, sponsorship decisions, RCB advice, skills assessments and invitations are different outcomes. Bridging Visa A is not a subclass 186 grant. Multiple family documents, different stages and language versions are not counted as separate clients.
Reviewed case summaries
Browse all original records by project
This index covers the success-case Blog records and the original case gallery at the time of compilation. Language versions with identical image sets share one document entry. A/G references are library references, not client or government application numbers. Original titles organise the records; the notice itself determines the subclass, date and decision stage.
Australia 186 Employer Nomination
Distinguish nomination approval from a visa grant. Bridging Visa A is not a subclass 186 grant.
Original case gallery references: G001, G002, G003, G004, G005, G028, G029, G030, G031, G032, G034, G036, G037, G038. These records may include multiple family documents or stages of one case.
Australia 189 Skilled Independent
Confirm the subclass and Granted status in the notice. EOI invitations and skills assessments are separate stages.
Australia 190 Skilled Nominated
Read invitations for state nomination, nomination approvals and subclass 190 visa grants separately.
Australia 191 Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional)
A subclass 191 outcome is distinct from earlier subclass 491 or 494 decisions.
Australia 491 Skilled Work Regional
The provisional subclass 491 stage differs from a permanent visa grant. Check each notice's duration and conditions.
Australia 482 Employer Sponsored Work
Sponsorship, nomination and subclass 482 visa decisions have separate documents. A 482 outcome does not establish a subclass 186 grant.
Australia 485 Temporary Graduate
Graduate visa records do not establish the outcome of any later skilled migration or permanent residence application.
Australia 500 Student
A student visa decision differs from course admission and any later work or permanent residence application.
Australia 600 Visitor
Read the validity, duration and conditions of visitor notices; they do not establish work or permanent residence approval.
Australia 820 Partner
Subclass 820 is a different stage from subclass 801. Use the subclass explicitly recorded in each notice.
Australia 309 Partner
Confirm the subclass in partner visa records; a subclass 309 notice does not establish a subclass 100 grant.
Australia 400 Short Stay Work
Short stay work records do not establish long-term work or permanent residence approval.
Australia Skills Assessments
A skills assessment is an assessment outcome, not a visa grant. Check the assessing body, occupation code and result.
Original case gallery references: G013. These records may include multiple family documents or stages of one case.
Australia Employer Sponsorship and Nominations
Sponsorship, employer nomination and applicant visa decisions have different scopes. Refer to the original notices.
Australia 494 Regional Employer Sponsored
RCB, SBS, nomination and visa decisions are distinct. Nomination approval alone does not establish a subclass 494 grant.
Original case gallery references: G006, G015, G016, G023. These records may include multiple family documents or stages of one case.
Australia GTI / 858 Historical Records
Invitations and UIDs are distinguished from 858 visa grant notices. National Innovation replaced Global Talent in December 2024.
Original case gallery references: G008, G009, G010, G011, G012, G017, G018, G019, G020, G027. These records may include multiple family documents or stages of one case.
Australia 188 Entrepreneur Historical Records
Historical nomination and provisional visa records. BIIP closed to new applications on 31 July 2024; holding a 188 visa does not establish an automatic 888 grant.
Original case gallery references: G007, G022. These records may include multiple family documents or stages of one case.
Australia 188 Investor Historical Records
Old subclass 188 notices do not establish present immigration status. BIIP closed to new applications on 31 July 2024.
Original case gallery references: G026. These records may include multiple family documents or stages of one case.
Australia 187 Historical Employer Nominations
The gallery contains historical RSMS nomination records. Nomination and visa decisions are separate; these old records are not current eligibility guidance.
Original case gallery references: G033, G035. These records may include multiple family documents or stages of one case.
Australia ACT Canberra Matrix Invitations
An invitation to apply for ACT nomination is not final state nomination approval or a subclass 190 visa grant.
Original case gallery references: G024, G025. These records may include multiple family documents or stages of one case.
United States EB-3
The source is an I-140 approval notice, not a landing document. Petition approval, immigrant visa issuance and permanent residence are separate stages.
Original case gallery references: G014. These records may include multiple family documents or stages of one case.
Canada Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program
The 24 March 2022 record is provincial nomination approval. IRCC separately determines the federal permanent residence application.
Original case gallery references: G021. These records may include multiple family documents or stages of one case.
Historical projects and current policy
188 Investor and Entrepreneur records are historical: BIIP closed to new applications on 31 July 2024. National Innovation replaced Global Talent in December 2024. Old 187 and ACT invitation records are presented according to their original decision stage. Old rules, quotas and timelines are not current application guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Does provincial nomination or I-140 approval prove permanent residence? No. IRCC separately decides Canadian permanent residence applications, and an I-140 approval notice is not a US immigrant visa or green card.
Can these records establish a company-wide success rate? The library does not contain a verified denominator of all accepted, refused, withdrawn and pending matters. It therefore does not publish an inferred success rate or unique client total.
Will my application receive the same outcome? Historical records reflect the evidence and decision at that time. Your eligibility, documents and applicable rules require a separate assessment.
