    Thanks for the info. His company are unaware of the rules despite being an international company! Hopefully this delay will give us a couple of months more to either find another job or make the most of what we have already planned to do. Sent from my iPad using PomsinOz

    My husband is the visa holder but the work has run out 1/2 way through the second visa. This is the second 457 visa so have been so lucky to have been here for this long. Due to our age we can not apply for PR. I have flights booked to visit my frail mother in NZ at Xmas so this termination will have an impact on that trip plus we love living in Australia. I have been working for the same job for the last 5 years but don't think I can be sponsored as I am now a casual (hospital scientist). Reading around we've read we have 90 days or ? 60 days but not sure if he can still be employed and paid for some of this time. Not sure what the employers obligations are. Only just found out so still in shock. Would be grateful for any info...thanks

    Thanks for the advice. I see you had to do your IELTS too! That was fun!

    Hi, We have been in Melbourne for just over 2 years. We would like to stay here (from UK). My husband is still in the job he came over to do (on 457 visa) and I landed a good job as well. We want to stay and we realise time is running out. Can someone recommend a reliable solicitor/lawyer in Melbourne that can advise us please? Does anyone know the general cost and how long it might take? We have a son here as well and hope we can include him as well as he is on our visa. We really like it here so don't want to return in the near future or ever. Would be very grateful for advice, Lins

    <p><p>Just one more question. I am looking for a job in a hospital lab (haematology or blood transfusion) in NSW. Bit different here from UK with all the private labs. Does anyone do this job? How do they find it? Most jobs seemed to be 24/7 and seem to involve working at different sites. Bit difficult without a car. Hoping something will become vacant in local hospital.</p></p>

    <p><p>Hello from sunny Penrith NSW</p></p>

    <p><p>Husband has been told he can take his pension out early with lump sum. The figures look worth taking it now even though he has got a few years before retiring. Has anyone thought about this? We have our bank acc in UK still as we are still paying off mortgage while renting house. We think we will stay here (3 wks here on 457 visa) but heard it was a good idea to leave it in the UK. Probably need to ask a financial adviser.</p></p>

    <p><p>Thanks</p></p>
