Anyone here applied themselves and not through MA?

Currently on the same boat as you. Applied: 15th December 2014 (Full documents and medicals approved) Nomination Approved : 19th December 2014 No CO yet. Still waiting....

How to submit 1005 form (change of visa work conditions) ? Can I scan and upload it together with my application (457) or send to them by mail? Thanks

457 visa English requirement exemption: If you are seeking an exemption from the English language requirement on the basis of completion of five continuous years of study at a secondary or higher institution where the instruction was in English, provide the following information: name and location of the institution/s level of qualification/s official transcript from the secondary or tertiary institution number of contact hours of instruction per week delivered in English number of years of continuous study. I have studied for 5 years continuously in English. I have statements and transcripts from the college and university to prove that the courses that I had completed were taught in English. There are about eight documents(statements and transcripts). However do I still need to put in the "number of contact hours of instruction per week delivered in English" since I had all the statements and transcripts from the education providers already? Do you think these documents will satisfy the officer and will exempt me from the IELTS test? PS: Courses are done in Australia.

Thank you very much for the quick response.

I was nominated by my company as a Software Engineer. I have booked for my IELTS General Training test. Is it ok for the 457 visa?

Yeah. 457 it is then. I really annoyed that ACS will not access my working experience before I graduate. How about the 189 Skilled Independent visa? Do i need to get my skills accessed for that?

For 186 visa, I need to be accessed by ACS (software engineer) which requires me to have at least 1 year of work experience after i graduate. I don't think i will be eligible for this visa.

Can my employer sponsor me the 186 ENS via Direct Entry? Currently on student visa.
