I have been nominated by my company for ENS. I have a positive skills assessment and have worked for them for 22 months and so was eligible for the visa based on past experience. Now that the visa has changed to skillselect, I am confused as to which one I am. The two I am confused between are the following:
The Temporary Residence Transition stream is for subclass 457 visa holders who have worked for two years and their employer wants to offer them a permanent position.
The Direct Entry stream is for people who have never, or only briefly, worked in the Australian labour market.
So I don't think I am temporary residence as I haven't worked for them for two years. But I'm not sure if I can go for direct entry, as I have worked here in Australia for nearly two years.
I'd prefer not to wait until the 2 years is up as my nomination will only last for 6 months so if there any delays it will run out.
Can anyone shed any light on this please?
