Hi Raul, thanks for the reply. I don’t believe he has because my new employer did not ask for his details, only mine and now the nomination has been approved. We have only just remembered! Also is the skilled levy applicable to him as well or was it just myself as I am the employee? Please can you advise possible next steps? Thanks

Hello everyone!! I am after some advice please! I am on the 457 visa and currently in the process of transferring employers. My de facto partner is a secondary applicant on my visa. The nomination and levy for me has been submitted and paid for. We are just waiting for a decision. Does anyone know if we need to do anything for my partner or will he just fall under the same application? Thanks!

Hi, I have submitted an EOI for 189 visa. I have listed two qualifications - my degree and a professional qualification that have been assessed by the relevant Australian body. I read on the skillselect website that you can claim 15 points for a degree and 10 points for a professional qualification - can I claim a total of 25 points for both? Or does it only take into account the qualification that gives me the highest points? In this case, it would be the degree. Appreciate any advice Thanks

To clarify, what I meant by culturally, I mean the business and team culture, not by skin colour or heritage background

Hi, yes the profession is on there but i have seen that the occupation ceiling for this profession has been reduced for the 189 visa for this year so I was wondering if this has an impact on the approval of a 457 visa application as well??

Thanks for the response. They have advertised the job role and have interviewed a number of people. I am on par with other applicants in terms of skills and qualifications but the employer said I fit more culturally into the business and could have more potential. For the role, I don't think there is a huge shortage in Australia but there could be in the local area.

Hi, I have an employer who wishes to sponsor me under the 457 scheme. In regards to the nomination, the employer has to prove why an Australian citizen or permanent resident cannot fulfil the role. Apart from outlining qualifications and experience, can anyone please suggest any other points that can be included in the statement to make the application stronger? Any help/pointers would be extremely appreciated. Many Thanks
