Hi, I am planning a holiday to AU in November and have been online to organise the visitor visa and it asks if we have a current visa, we previously had a 457 visa granted in 2011 and returned to the UK in 2014 and canceled the 457. I am not sure if I have to add this visa to the application or not? TIA Lynne

My answer was in reponse to the original post..I hadn't read any other posts so assumed he meant a straight forward 457 application.

No..my husband was sponsored by an Australian company and I just applied for the 457 without using an agent.

Sorry should have worded it a little better...if waiting for the 2yrs :biggrin:

I did our 457 application myself, pretty straight forward.

As far as I've been told you have to have been working in Australia for the company sponsoring you for PR for 2 years. Lynne

Hi, You can apply at any time if you have your trade skills recognised - TRA or VETASSESS Lynne

Have sent you a PM :biggrin:

Thats a horrible thing to say !!!!!

Hi, You could try going down the sponsorship route. My husband is a panel beater/sprayer and we came over last Sept on a 457 temp visa, after 2 yrs you can apply for PR witout doing trade recognition as you have proved yourself by working here for 2 yrs. Send me a private message if you want some info on the company that my husband works for. Good Luck with it all ! Lynne

Hi Ian, Personally I wouldn't live in Warnbro at all, Port kennedy has some bad parts as well as good...the golf course side of Port Kennedy is the nicer part but I have to say I'm not sure if I would live there either. Secret Harbour is nice, I wouldn't say I would never live there again, but I do like Singleton. As for crime I think there is more as you get closer to Rockingham, nothing too serious that I've heard of. Schools ???!!! I don't know what the schools are like in Warnbro I'm affraid but because I'm not keen on the areas I wouldn't choose to send mine there. Lynne

We arrived in WA last Sept. and rented in Secret Harbour until June this year. Its a lovely place with really nice people in it but...It's too much like the Stepford Wives for me..lol I moved to Singleton and it feels more like a proper WA suburb...not that I'm an expert though !! Both my children still go to Comet Bay Primary & Collage Lynne

It's a certificate you get at college for a course that you do NATIONAL VOCATIONAL QUALIFICATION

Is it a NVQ in Beauty Culture ?

What certificate have you got ?

Just bumping it up a bit

I did think aboout getting the copies from past employers, the trouble is that a majority of them are no longer trading. As for the bank statement...YES....!!!!! HE SHREADED ALL THEM TOO :realmad: !!! I think I will have to speak to a RMA. Thanks for your help :biggrin: Lynne ps....I THINK A BEATING IS NO LONGER GOOD ENOUGH...LOL !

Anyone know anything about the new 187 ??

Thanks..I thought maybe she was wrong ! I haven't beaten him...BUT I BLOODY WILL WHEN HE'S BACK FROM WORK...lol!!!!

Hi all, We've been here in WA on a 457 Temp Visa since Spet last year and we want to apply for PR. We haven't got TRA so I called them just to check somethimngs out and it turns out that there may be a problem getting it !! When we came over here my husband decided to shread all old payslips and p60's so we have nothing to show TRA...silly I know !!!!!! Anyway.....I phone the immigration dept. to find out if we could apply for the RSMS 186 under the DIRECT ENTRY STREAM without having the TRA but I was told he would have to get TRA (which, to be honest I expected). The lady went on to say that there was a way we could apply for the RSMS 187 and not have the TRA if we were in certain postcodes. To be honest I couldn't understand what she was saying somethings and she said she would send me info..but its just a link to the RSMS 187 visa nothing else !! I have looked at the visa but I'm sure we still have to have TRA as he hasn't worked for the employer for 2yrs, does anyone know if what she has told me is possible ??? Thanks Lynne x

Hi, Thanks for this...after posting I found the info too Lynne

Hi, Am I right in thinking that if on a 457 visa at the moment you have to be working for the employer for at least 2yrs now ?? Lynne

Hi Everyone... I'm not sure if anyone has posted this yet but I thought it might help !! http://migrationblog.immi.gov.au/2012/02/09/proposed-changes-to-living-away-from-home-allowance-lafha-benefits-for-subclass-457-visa-holders/ Lynne x

THE CAMBRIDGE WEIGHT PLAN is now in WA !!! My name is Lynne, I am the local consultant for the Mandurah area. If you are interested in starting The Cambridge Weight Plan please contact me by email on lchinyou@cambridgeweightplan.com.au http://cambridgeweightplan.com.au/ For more information

I came to Perth in September last year....I have to say that sometimes I wish I had gone to another part of OZ. I think a lot of it is because the high cost of living in WA, it's a lovely place but VERY expensive...even a flight to another part of OZ is very expensive !!! Lynne x
