Francisca & Sergio
From temporary visas to permanent residency through the 186 Employer Nomination Scheme
Go To Their Story
Francisca and Sergio's story didn't start in Australia. It started in their home country when they were just 12 years old. Years later, with a shared dream of building a permanent life together in Australia, they made the move and began the long journey through the migration system. After six years of temporary visas, hard work, and persistence, the couple came to Questra ready to take the final step: securing permanent residency through the Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme.
What We Needed to Happen
Six years is a long time to live in any country on temporary visas. For Francisca and Sergio, the uncertainty of their visa status was the biggest hurdle standing between them and the life they had been building in Australia.
The 186 Employer Nomination Scheme is one of the most complex permanent residency pathways. It requires the right employer sponsorship, the right occupation, the right skills assessment, and a long list of supporting evidence that has to be presented exactly the way the Department of Home Affairs expects.
They needed a clear strategy, an experienced team, and a plan that left nothing to chance.
Our team worked closely with Francisca and Sergio to map out their pathway from the start. We assessed their eligibility, confirmed the 186 visa was the right fit, and put together a strategy that aligned their employment, skills, and supporting evidence with the requirements of the Employer Nomination Scheme.
From there, we managed the end-to-end application: preparing nomination and visa documents, coordinating with their sponsoring employer, and making sure every form, every piece of evidence, and every deadline was handled correctly.
Throughout the process, we kept them informed at every step so they always knew where they stood and what was coming next.
Francisca and Sergio’s 186 visa was approved, granting them permanent residency in Australia.
After six years of temporary status, they now have the security and stability they have been working towards. They can live, work, and study in Australia indefinitely, access Medicare, and start building their future on permanent footing. After two years as permanent residents, they will also be eligible to apply for Australian citizenship.
Their journey is proof that with the right strategy and the right team, the path to PR is achievable.
“I would say be patient and trust the process, stay organised, ask for help when you need it, and most importantly don't give up.”— Francisca & Sergio
