Hi all Just reading this and would like to add advice from my experience (sorry a nearly shock story). Without no notice on Friday, My employer a major plc facing not that hard times, made me redundant for reasons of reduced workload .... Hmmm still working 40+ hours a week ..... and started to tell me I had to leave Aus in 28 days. I really feel that they can boss 457 workers around unduly. Only then I informed them that i was in fact PR.....and said "read my emails!" they didn't seem too pleased, would they have made me redundant then? Who knows but I enjoyed picking up my redundancy cheque! my Advice please read .... Go for PR as quickly as possible if you you want to stay in Aus. My opinion is that companies don't care about you or shipping you back home, they care about their bottom line! I'm so cynical now :0) Take care all and hope it worked out for you all. Cheers JP
