2012年9月4日】：官方消息澳大利亚北京与上海签证申请中心即将落成

2012年9月4日：澳大利亚签证申请中心即将落成
澳大利亚签证申请中心即将落成

自2012年9月10日起，澳大利亚移民及公民事务部将改变在中国提供签证服务的方式。其中两项主要调整包括：

第一、北京和上海采用澳大利亚签证申请中心；
第二、在中国境内创设若干“签证评审中心”。

由此也将引起客户递交签证申请的地点与递交方式的变化。
采用澳大利亚签证申请中心的主要内容为：两家由VFSGlobalPtyLtd运营的澳大利亚签证申请中心将于2012年9月10日在北京和上海开设。澳大利亚签证申请中心将接收签证申请，处理客户在递交签证申请前的基本问询，收取签证申请费用，并提供申请进展在线查询。采用澳大利亚签证申请中心可以使客户获得更多信息，并享受延长营业时间和简化流程所带来的更便捷的移民服务。

创设签证受理中心。从9月10日起，除了采用澳大利亚签证申请中心之外，中国境内一些签证申请的评审地点也将有所变化。将签证申请汇集到大型签证评审中心一齐进行评审可以极大地规范签证评审、签证下签的一致性，并提高DIAC在整个区域内的客户服务质量。

从2012年9月10日起，居住在北京领区和上海领区辖省市的客户若要申请澳大利亚签证，须在北京或上海的澳大利亚签证申请中心递交申请。广州辖区的客户若想亲自递交澳大利亚签证申请，须直接将其申请递交至澳大利亚驻广州领事馆签证处。由外交部或当地外事办公室为政府官员申请的签证、ADS旅行或澳大利亚公民身份申请目前的递交和评审安排将不作变化。这些签证申请须在最近的澳大利亚签证处直接递交。

官方原版发文如下：


Changes to Australian Visa Service Delivery in China From 10 September 2012 the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) is changing the way immigration services will be delivered in China.
The two key changes include the:

•Introduction of Australian Visa Application Centres (AVACs) in Beijing and Shanghai
•Changes to visa processing locations.

As a result of these changes, the location and the way that a client lodges a visa application may also change
Introduction of AVACsTwo AVACs operated by VFS Global Pty Ltd, will be opened in Beijing and Shanghai on 10 September 2012.
The AVACs will:

•accept visa applications and charges
•handle basic enquiries from clients before application is lodged
•return passports
•provide an online application tracking facility.

The introduction of AVACs will provide more convenient access to immigration services for clients through greater access to information, extended service hours and streamlined processing.
Changes to visa processing locationsIn addition to the introduction of AVACs, there will also be changes to where certain visa applications are processed in China from 10 September 2012.
Consolidating visa processing for certain visa applications into processing centres will enable a greater level of consistency in processing and decision-making and will improve the service the department provides to clients in this region.
Impact on clientsThese changes mean from 10 September 2012, clients who reside in provinces within the Beijing and Shanghai catchment areas applying for most Australian visas should lodge their application at an AVAC in either Beijing or Shanghai.
Clients in the Guangzhou catchment applying in person or by post for an Australian visa should continue to lodge their application directly with the Australian Visa Office at the Australian Consulate in Guangzhou.
There will be no change to the current lodgement and processing arrangements for Government officials applying via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) or their local Foreign Affairs Office (FAO), Australian Destination Status (ADS) travel or Australian citizenship by Descent applications which should continue to be lodged directly with the nearest Australian Visa Office.
More InformationA printable Information Sheet outlining these changes is available.

境外申请雇主提名186签证 ,如果雇主提名批了，但是自己的申请还没批。能入境au吗？1131form上只说如果你有一个substantive visa就可以入境，雇主会帮你申请一个什么签证入境吗？

如果自己已经有一个short term business 456签证（自己通过别的途径），算substantive visa吗？

还有整个过程大概会多久（雇主提名还有自己申请）？谢谢。

如果自己已经有一个short term business 456签证（自己通过别的途径），算substantive visa吗？－－算的

还有整个过程大概会多久（雇主提名还有自己申请）？谢谢。－－－这个最好问你的顾问，毕竟牵扯到很多问题。

哦。谢谢。

就是说等自己申的186下来的时候，有雇主提供的别的签证入境先工作？

问题是你既然都已经申请了186，目前还没有听说雇主还会为申请人准备一个过渡类的签证先过来。但不排除你个人名义申请其它类别合适的签证。
