Thanks blossom79, I'll contact a migration agent to see which stream would be better for me.

Hi Blossom79 and thanks for your reply. Now I'm a bit confused as I've been told that most of the times (and this depends on many aspects from the applicant, etc...) people don't get a 187 visa through the direct entry if they have or have held a 457 visa. Anyone knows anything about this?

Just to make it a bit more complicated, I first worked during my first year in Australia in a different position to the one I am working at the moment, although both with the same employer. Both positions are similar (both are related to research and science), but different (not the same duties). Maybe I can continue with the direct entry stream as I've been working in different positions in the last 2 years? Thanks! Javi

Hi all, My sponsor lodged a nomination under the direct entry stream about 7 weeks ago when I still didn't meet the requirements for temporary transition stream. Now I meet these requirements (it's been now more than two years working in the same job with a 457 visa) but I'm not sure if I can continue with this direct entry stream when I lodge my visa application in the next few weeks or if we should change this nomination and do it again under the temporary transition stream. I know I cannot apply under a different stream but I wonder if my application will be rejected if I continue with the direct entry stream. Thanks!!!! Javi
