thanks for the feedback

Hi All, I hope some one can assist with a query i have around the 187 visa. With out going in to, too much detail my fiancee and i have applied for a 857 RSMS visa (onshore) and were declined by the DIAC for not having enough experiance to satisfy a diploma qualification. We applied to the MRT and are now waiting. We have discussed a number of ideas with a MA, however one suggestion is to apply for a new visa (187) as it is unlikly we would win the MRT case based on the original application and we now have enough experiance to satisfy the DIAC experiance criteria (within the next few months any how). Now these are my questions: 1) Do we need to apply offshore for this visa 1.1) If we apply offshore, are we able to re enter australia before a decision is made? (we are currently on BVA, this wont expire until the MRT call us to a tribunual) [*]2) How long are most people waiting, from lodgement to acceptance/rejection? If any one can assist with these questions it would be much appreciated. Kind regards

Hi All, I am just about to go into the RSMS process with an employer that wants to sponsor me. However i don't have a diploma my highest qualifications are GCSE's + 4.5 years experience in the industry. Will this experience be accountable to allow me to get sponsored on the RSMS? The 457 was my original choice as they will except relevent experiance how ever the job i have been offered doesnt meet the required wage for the 457 so the next option is the RSMS but i cannot see an "or equivilent experiance" for the RSMS. PLease help i dont have long left on my current 417. Thanks
