This is not a simple matter and you would be well advised to seek professional advice.

If the business is sold and the ABN number changes, the new entity will need to take over your 457 sponsorship before you apply for PR. You would be well advised to seek professional advice to navigate this change.

Not necessarily, it depends on the circumstances.

No, you cannot select a start date for the new 482 visa. The new visa will come into effect as soon as it is approved.

This will depend on a number of factors, including the post which is processing the application.

About $150,000 per annum.

Difficult but not impossible. If you or your wife were able to secure employment and sponsorship in a high paying position, you could potentially still covert to PR at a later date.

If there is a clear error it may be possible to revisit the decision. Speak with your Agent.

That does not make much sense as occupations on the medium to long term list don't need to meet genuine temporary entrant criteria. You would be well advised to seek professional advice.

If your nominated occupation is Secondary School Teacher with ANZSCO code 241411 then the subclass 186 is an option, provided you can meet the requirements of either the Temporary Residence Transitional (TRT) or Direct Entry (DE) pathways.

There is insufficient information to assess your options, but a few points to consider: There is little difference between Software & Application Programmer or Analyst Programmer as they are in the same ANZSCO group, although it may have an impact if considering State sponsorship; Both these occupations are in the pro rata group as they are oversubscribed; Queensland sponsorship for 190 has been closed since July 2019; The Subclass 491 visa is a provisional visa, it is not a Permanent Visa; Not all of the relevant Regulations and Policy for the subclass 491 visa have been released yet, so it is premature to do a definitive assessment under this subclass; The points system will be changing soon. Already lodged Expressions of Interests (EOIs) will retrospectively be given additional points, it is not known what score will be required to gain an invite.

The Netherlands does have a reciprocal health agreement with Australia, conditions apply. The two year eligibility for PR does not sound correct and you may want to do further research in regards to future PR.

There is very specific Policy on this specific issue. If you are using a Registered Migration Agent, you should get them to explain the Policy and how it applies to your specific situation.

I suggest you seek a professional assessment as it appears that you are quite confused about the process and may have been given incorrect advice.

This is the date you are considered skilled in your occupation. It has different context depending on the visa you are applying for.
