I am currently on a 2 year 457 Restaurant Manager which expires on 6th July ,  I was planning on applying for a 186 (employer sponsored PR) with sufficient evidence, (registered relationship, live together etc) but our visa agent is saying that it isnt a good time to apply as the nomination may be rejected due to to coronavirus.

My restaurant is still operating a takeaway service so i am still working 38 hours a week. But the visa agent says that since there are so many unemployed people around it might now not be seen as a genuine need for full time staff at the moment

Our visa agent is suggesting waiting for a bit longer and then apply for the 186 once this situation has blown over? I personally feel what if after few months there will be more unemployed people if even restaurant takeaway closed down. 

I'm just trying to find out what my options are should i just apply for the 186 now or wait a bit later? Any other options?

Thankyou for listening me out. 
i know we have many other things to worry about but i am getting restless about it. 
 

Regards
