I have a 457 Visa, which is still in place at the moment - but I do need to be back within a time scale to maintain that - maybe I should contact the embsaay, I never had a CO. Thank you all. Sian

Hi, We applied for my partner visa back in October last year. I have travelled back to the uk in the last few weeks and may have to stay for a couple of months to care for a relative. Does anyone know what will happen with my application if I am not back in Australia if and when it gets authorised? many thanks,

Thank you for both replies - I will take a look at both options. Sian

Does anyone have any tips on the most economical way to transfer money from Australia back to the UK to pay bills and mortgage on a house? Currently I transfer direct from Commonwealth to Nat West in UK, but I think there must be a better way? Thank you Sian

Hi all, does anyone know the waiting distance from having the medical health test for the partner visa and results? We are about to submit our visa application and not sure if we need the medical results before we submit!? Thanks again, Sian

Thank you - No relocation expenses paid by current employer - so thats not an issue - thanks for the replies xx

Thanks again - they didnt pay anything towards my relocation so at least that not a problem - maybe I should look for legal advice but maybe I should just struggle through the notice period - i will feel quite uncomfortable though..

Thank you for your replies. One last question!! If I managed to get my visa switched from one sponsor to another - does anyone know if can I use that time to visit home, or would I have to stay in the country whilst this took place?

I have been offered another job - I didnt mention that - what I really wondered is if the breach of contract would risk my 457 - not the fact I was leaving. I have been feeling unhappy where I am, and couldnt face working the notice out! But obviously I will try to do this as best I can and as difficult as it may be I dont really want to mess anyone around.

Hi - I am working on a 457 but feel really unhappy in my job - I would like to leave - does anyone know what implications this would have on my 457 - I cant face going back but think this would jeopodise my 457 unless I follow all the correct notice? has anyone had any expereince of this? Thank you

Oh I see - so its sort of automatic! That sounds easier than I thought. Any idea how long it takes to get the Visa A and be allowed to start work?

Hi, Does anyone have any experience of a bridging visa. I am moving out to Adelaide as my husband is out there - we have been advised to apply for a spouse visa once I am out - but have been told I can apply for a bridging visa so that I can work, whilst the spouse visa goes through - has anyone had any experience of this - how long it takes etc? thank you
