Hello all,
I am currently on a 457 visa. My visa runs out June 2017 - in short 3 years left.
I was planning on a PR so i submitted my papers to ACS for skillselect. My skills are approved by ACS and my skill is on SOL list.
I got another job offer from another company with higher pay. I have yet to accept that offer. Question is
- Can I ask my new company to sponsor me for 186 visa - direct entry?
- if the new company does go with it.. What happens in general once I lodge the 186. E.g I get to complete my 30 day notices with my current employer under 457?
- what happens after I have completed 30 days and the decision for 186 is not yet made?
Have any of you done this before? Kindly tell me how things works out...
Maybe its better to stick with a 457 transfer which seems straightforward..
Many thanks for your help.
