Hey all,
I am in a soup at the moment and was wondering if someone could help me out clear some points that is kinda foggy for me atm.
Below is my situation:
I was recently approved of my 485 visa after almost 13 months of waiting.
My employer has agreed to sponsor me for my permanent residency. But for a 485 to proceed to an ENS as you are know there is some criteria.
A. One should have a minimum of 3 years exprience in the skills that one is applying for.
B. One should have a positive skills assessment.
I have the ielts score with me atm, the positive skills assessment which falls into the ENS skills list but I do not have the 3 years experience yet.( i have 2 years au exp(part time+ ful time) and almost 6 months overseas exp)
Would it be advisable for me to apply for a 3 year work experience waiver and put my ENS application across? Is it usually approved? Are waivier applications usually delayed?
If a DRC is filled out with a waiver for work experience what are my chances of getting a permanent residency with 10 ~ 12 weeks?
Does anybody here applied for a work exp waiver through ENS? If so, how easy was it and how long did it take? I seriously can't be bummed waiting for another year!
Thanks all
Cheers,
Ross
