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.

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. We will have to get moving on this as time a gone by very quickly so far!

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
