Deh Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hello all! I've seen many posts about changing employers while on 457 visa but none of them has the answer I'm looking for. Quickly, I'm on 457 since August 2014 and lately my working conditions have been terrible. Ever since the visa was granted my boss started bullying me and always saying things like 'now I own you' or 'I know you have nowhere to go, you'll never leave'. Don't want go deep in there as it' a lost cause and things won't change so decided to find another job. Two days ago I found a company willing to sponsor me under the same ocuppation (Cafe Manager). They are already SBS approved and as far I understood they also have a nomination approved. My question is: my current pay is $56,000 per year and new employer said his pay is $53,900. I don't mind at all, just need some peace of mind and $2K less a year is very much worth it. But how will Immi look at it? Both companies are in Melbourne not far from each other (different suburbs, 15km apart). Also, I'm aware this might take 2 to 6 weeks but could it be any faster if nomination is already approved? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deh Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Nobody? New employer called me last night to let me know he is meeting with his lawyer on Tuesday and then will tell me the outcome. Quite anxious here, would give my resignation letter tomorrow if I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Senise Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 They cannot have a nomination approved as a 457 nomination must name the person who will fill the position. The drop in pay is not an issue as long as they can show that this is the market rate for equivalent Australians. Do not resign until you are absolutely sure of the situation.

Thank you Raul for always helping everyone out. You're great! When I have everything sorted will come back here to post the outcome and help people in same situation.
