Thanks everyone- good to know. My baby will be born here n aus so if it's an Australia citizen will I then be I be able to apply for our citizenship? We will have been here for 4 years at the end of this year and by then also been on pr for 18 months

In currently a year into my 187 visa and about to go onto maternity leave, just wanted to know what I need to do with regards to adding the baby onto our visa once it's born and what the go is with passport and stuff. any info would be great, kind regards

Thanks guys, but who do I report this to? Who would I contact at immigration. At the time I contacted the agents that worked on my visa and they were very uninterested in my situation. Know that they are going through the process now to hire another manager on a 457 visa and The thought of them going through what I did breaks my heart. I reported my superannuation to the tax office and they are conducting an audit on the business. Also the business that I worked for has now ceased trading and they have now moved to the next town and she has opened another business under the same business name. Basically the owner got run out of town because she owed everybody money and all the businesses in town had enough of her. At one point the staff house that she was deducting rent out of ( $180 a week x2, as I lived with my husband) my wages but after 8 months I was told I had to take over the lease privately because she haven't paid the landlord any rent for the last six months even though it been deducted out of my wages!! Any help would be muchly appreciated

Hi there, back in early 2012 I was hired as a restaurant manager on a 457 visa, I was told I had to pay for my Visa, visa agent and flights -Which I did. The contract I signed for my immigration visa stated that my working hours were 38 hours a week. When I arrived and started working it was actually 99 hour pro rata fortnight, that my annual salary stayed the same 50,000. Some fortnight I worked over hundred and 30+ hours. some weeks I went over three weeks of constantly working every day before I got the day off . When I did get a day off i get called up at 5 AM in the mornings and told I have to come to work. I was just told as a manager i should suck it up and that any hours extra I worked I wouldn't be paid for. The owner was constantly getting into trouble by fairwork, whenever they investigated her, she gave them false information and filled out Payslips herself without staff consent. Many of my shift started at 4 AM and I would work through until about 5 PM in the afternoon I wasn't given any extra pay for these shifts. I was also made to work public holidays with no extra money or time in lieu. Have since left the business after working for her for two years and I have now gained my pr with another company. My old boss used to get very defensive when she was drunk, and if anything was wrong at the restaurant and I was at home after finishing my shift she would call me up numerous times and be quite drunkenly abusive on the telephone. Obviously after two years of this got to the point where I couldn't take it any more. More importantly my husband couldn't take anymore. It's been over a year since I left and she still hasn't paid my superannuation that I have taken to the tax office. The thing that really gets to me the most though is she still hiring people on a 457 and the work situation is still the same. is there anything I can do about this? is there anybody that I can complain to? is there anybody that I can take this further with? When I first left the company I called up fair work to discuss this with them- my situation , but they really didn't seem too interested and they really weren't interested in my whole Visa obligations. I understand that I'm not going to get compensated for all the extra hours that I worked and all the time that I was underpaid but I don't want other people to feel the way that I was made to feel and work under the same situation that I was made to work under.

Hi there, Thanks

Hi Guys, I am on a 457 just coming to the end of my 2 years. I was going to apply for a 186 visa but would have to re apply for another 457 as I would be a few days short to apply on the trans pathway as my current 457 was only for 2 years. I dont wish to continue in my current role for another 2 years to get my PR. My husband works for the local shire,we live in the remote Kimberley. He's been working 2 jobs in community Development since March 2012. He holds a degree but not in his current role but is studying a cert iv in his current line of work. Would he be able to get a 457 visa?

I am currently on a 457 and have been for a year now, living in regional WA (derby) if I stay with my current employer for another year and go with the transition stream , How long will it take to get PR? Do I have to work for them for another 2 years? And stay another 2 full years after I have applied? Basically, My partner and I get married at the end of this year, I’m 33 this year and wish to start a family in about 2 to 2 and a half years. I have a great relationship with my current employer and I know that she would support me if at this time we did start a family, but I wouldn’t want to make any major complications and would prefer to have our PR so we could buy a house and settle knowing that there was no chance of things going wrong with our visa and having to pack up our fantastic life here. My boss has discussed that when we start a family that she would like to reduce my hours down to part time, and for my role to change into more a bookkeeping role the as a business Managers Role. I would like to continue my employment for a number of years but would just like to know what Our opinions were. Thanks
