Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate Visa Grant – M. Usama A. R. & His Wife

Congratulations M. Usama A.R for the grant of your 485 visa extension!

  • Double Grant for Main Applicant and Spouse
  • Lodgement Date: 11 December 2023
  • Grant Date: 31 January 2024

Usama was granted his graduate visa 485 in May 2023. At the time, his visa was granted for 2 years only because he completed a Bachelor degree in Australia.

In July 2023, the government announced the change that the 485 visa stay period will be extended for another 2 years for the selected bachelor degrees. However, in December 2023, the government decided to axed this policy in mid 2024.

Seeing the sudden change in the migration policy, Usama immediately contacted EMK Migration for advice and we quickly assisted him and his spouse to extend his current 485 visa for another 2 years.

In less than 2 months, Usama and his wife have been granted the visa extension and they can now stay and work full time in Australia until May 2027.

We are very happy for the positive outcome of Usama’s visa application and we wish all of our clients to receive their visa grant soon.
