My employer applied for a 457.
The nomination for sponsorship was refused on 10th November, with option to appeal within 21 days
I believe this means my current Bridging Visa A will be set to expire
Have been advised not to appeal, but working on some other options.
I am assuming that at the end of this 21 day grace period (1st December), I will be notified that I have 31 days left till my Bridging Visa expires.
Q1 - Do you concur with this?
If I were to withdraw my application before the end of the appeal grace period, I believe this entitles me to say that I have not had a visa refused on future applications, as its not the application they refused, but the nomination from the employer.
Q2 - Do you concur with this?
So, ideally, to maximise my time in Australia, I should wait till a couple of days before 1st December and then withdraw my application. I should then receive notification that my bridging visa will expire in 31 days. This will buy me valuable negotiation time with my employer/other employers.
Q3 - Do you also concur with this approach?
Looking for some advice from anyone out there, would really appreciate any tips or knowledge in this area.
