Shelleyh1 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Hi I'm currently just over 2yrs on my 457 and asked my employer to nominate for PR. They have said no at this stage. (Still trying to find out why) is there anything I can do if they will not nominate? My occupation is only on CSOL list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have to sponsor you for a permanent visa and they don't have to tell you why not. You can look into skilled migration and would need state sponsorship if your occupation is only on the CSOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 This is the big problem with migrating on a 457. It's designed for employers to recruit an employee on a temp contract, and they're under NO obligation to sponsor you for PR, no matter what promises they make.

wrussell Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 maintenance planner.... I live in Perth and it's not available for state sponsorship. Il have to just look into moving I guess There are very limited prospects for state/territory nomination in your skilled occupation and most states/territories will not nominate an applicant who resides in a different state. May I suggest that you consult a registered migration agent for advice about whether a viable visa strategy can be developed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks il look into seeing someone next week do u know if I stay until the end of my 457 and my company will not renew will I get a redundancy pay out as they effectively making me redundant or am I not entitled due to 457 ending?

Thanks 珞 I'm not sure it would be considered a redundancy since the position may still exist but you may just lose the legal ability to qualify for the position. So your employer could possibly take the stance that it's your responsibility to sort out a visa or resign. Hopefully they'll at least give you some feedback regarding why they wouldn't sponsor a PR visa and whether they would renew the 457. If they do renew the 457, they legally need to pay the nomination fee but not your application fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new visa application (which a "renewal" is) means new fees yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
