So had your 457 already expired then? Hmm yes from your time line I can see it must have expired October last year. In that case yes I can understand you won't have 90 days. That would be for cancellation of a still active 457.

 

Your occupation must have been on the skills list even for a 457 visa though. And it will need to still be on the list if there is any hope of finding a sponsor or an independent visa. There are two lists, the SOL and CSOL, have you looked at both? Can you dig out any old paperwork and see what occupaiton code you were on for the 457.

Sorry if if I offend I work on kill floors and boning rooms this type of work is not on the lists but does have a skill shortage the companies have to negotiate with the government for a labour agreement which makes things harder

Thanks for your replies it states on my bridging visa that it's 28days. With being a skilled meat worker it's not on the skilled select list so not sure if I can apply on a 189 or 190

I've been working for a meat works for 4 years on a 457, the company decided to nominate my family for the ens 186 which cost us almost $10,000. After 5 months of waiting for pr the company decided to make me redundant and withdraw there nomination giving me 28 days to find or leave Australia. I have been trying flat out to find a new company to nominate me with no luck. All this has put so much stress on us bc we don't want to leave.

Has this happened to anyone else and if so what was your out come.

Hi guys quick question what's the time line from your 186 being processed asking for additional information to grant of visa

thanks in advance
