Thank you @Amy86 appreciate the response. My employer is adamant to use their existing immigration lawyers who charge double the normal rates and have sometimes been a complete joke with their information... never the less many people at my work have had PR via these guys. I have one more question if you don’t mind... Once it’s granted (if) after the period of let’s say 12 months, would that be if for PR? Or is there another application after this? Thanks heaps once again

Hi all, I’m currently on a 457 which was granted on July 26th 2016. My employer is looking to submit for a 186. My question is and forgive me if it’s already been posted somewhere but I cannot seem to find an answer, is... like before on other visas, you could normally submit an application a month before the anniversary of the approved visa, in this case 2 years. Does anyone know if we can submit on June 26th? Apologies again if this has been posted already. Using mobile and can’t seem to find anything. Thanks in advanced

Thanks! that's exactly what I've done (well tomorrow anyway). Unfortunately, I have mentioned using another agent before, especially after seeing their prices! and the response time was pretty poor too. But of course, the company have used the agents for a number of years and want to keep that relationship. Let's see what happens when I pass on this info. Thanks again, really appreciate it.

Found it.... just like I said haha

Hey Dave, I'm currently on 457 with my work place and have held this since June 2016. My work place HR department are in talks with immigration officer who is adamant that I'm still going to be affected and will have to work with the company for 3 years under this 457 before being able to apply for PR. I just wanted to check, and maybe i've missed this somewhere, but are you able to assist in pointing out where it says this? I know I'm going to press submit reply and then find it a few mins later and look like a fool!

Hey bud, got me just in time, I'm thinking of heading off soon to try find some harvest work to get another year visa. Also I work in I.T and it just doesn't seem there is much, if anything on around here. Where a bouts are you staying at the moment? I'm actually on the other side of Mullum.

Hey all, Have recently come over from the UK and staying just outside of Byron Bay - If anyone fancies meeting up for a chat, coffee or beers then let me know, would be good to meet a few people here Oh and I'm 29 and male! if that helps? ....
