Guest Spenner1 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hi there, I'm new to the site and just wondering if anybody can help me stay in Darwin. My situation is that I'm currently on a working holiday visa (runs out 30/09/11), however I made the decision that I want to stay over here so I have a skills assessment in process at the moment, in order to apply for state nomination on the 487 visa. My worry is that I may not get my trade (carpenter) recognised before I have to go home. Therefore, I'm beginning to think I should maybe look for employment sponsorship on a 457 but I'm not sure if i need my skills assessment for this? I would be willing to do any job even away from carpentry so does anybody know of any contacts that I could pester? Any other advice/links/contact no's would be greatly appreciated as I really don't wanna leave paradise!! Thanks for reading, Spencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi Spencer Welcome to the forum. I will move your thread in to migration issues. How long have you been on a WHV, did you qualify for a 2nd year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
