Hi, I wonder if anyone can help as I find the diac site very confusing! My partner is being sponsored by an employer (457) for 4 years. Do you know at what point we can apply for a permanent visa and the most important thing when we could apply for a visa for my mum. We would only be renting a house for the first 2 years, so I'm unsure what would be a classed as 'settled' according to the diac website. I have read about the contributionary parent visa - any idea of how much that would cost and timescales?
Any help would be great! Apologies as I am not familiar with the visa terminology yet!
Thank you,
Paula
