Thanks MaggieMay 24

Thanks MaggieMay24, That's what I am waiting for. Hope her employer will support her for 186. If 186 cancelled she will come back automatically to 457? Do you know anything about it please? Regards, Jo

Hi Guys, I spoke with Immigration agent. Basically advised to wait for completion of two years and apply for 186 visa which will be in coming September. I will keep in touch with you all. Thanks Jo

Hi All, A big thank you to you all from bottom of my heart, If I didn't join in this forum I would been in a big trouble. I thought it is okay to apply PR without including her son in the application. I defenetety seek professional advise before go further. I may get in touch with George Lombard as Ozmaniac suggested. I will update the progress on time. She has got another 2 more years on her 457 visa. I don't know whether it's better to find a new employer to get a 457 visa and apply 457 again for her son once it has been granted for herself and fight for PR once her son is in the country. Really confused ! Jo

Thnaks Ozmanic, She applied for her 457 visa by herself and it has been approved (She was lucky that she tried to include evryone in the application but due to the system error it didn't happen !). Once her 457 granted, she submitted the application for her Husband, son and daughter. Then DIBP asked about this letter and eventually, case officer asked to withdraw her son's application. She still got approved her Husband's and daughter's 457 and they are here in Australia with her. Now she is planning to apply for PR for herself , her husband and daughter and once they get their PR planning to conatct Immigration agents and apply for her Sons PR with their advise. Hope it is the right way to do?

Thanks rammygirl, I am planning to seek advise for him from George Lombard once my sister gets her PR. Regards Jo

Ozmaniac, Thanks for your kind advise. I ask my sister to attempt PTE. She needs to have her PR ASAP to apply for PR/Visa for her son who is 13 who has Down syndrome with mild autistic symptoms. His 457 visa hasn't been approved as DIBP asked a letter from her employer to take the responsibility of a huge amount of money incase something happen with sister's finance and employer refused it. Luckily, the case officer given an option to withdraw her son's 457 application instead of refusing it.He is staying back in India with his grandparents and hoping to apply for his PR once my sister gets her's approved. This forum is just amazing and thanks again for your valuble advise. Jo

Thanks Maggiemay24. She sat for the IELTS exam twice but did not scored 7 individually. I believe to get 10 points does need 7 score in all 4 modules

Sorry, she has NO points for English. 15 points for age, 20 points for experience as a nurse including 1 year work point in Australia and 15 points for qualifications. She will complete 2 years in coming September in her same job in Alice Springs. Do you think 489 through Territory is the best option ? Please advise. Thanks, Jo

Thank you for your advise Ozmaniac.Graetly appreciated. My sister doesn't meet the points for 189. She has only 50 points including her age, English competency, experience and and qualifications. If territory government sponsor for 489 does it still take this same long waiting time ? Apologies for asking so many questions. Regards, Jo

OK..My sister doestn't meet the point requirement without this 10 points.The only other option is apply for regional sponsorship. She lives in Alicesprings and I hope it comes under regional? do you have any idea about it please. Thanks

Thank you so much Bungo. Why do you say family sponsored 489 is not a good option please? Is it because of my move?

Hi All, I am new to this forum and please consider me. I moved to Melbourne from UK on 457 visa on December 2013. On January 2015 I have been approved with 186 visa (Direct entry). Now I wish to move to Perth and is there any legal issue to change the employer before completion of two years post visa approval. When I phoned DIAC they have been informed me that it could even end up in cancelling my 186 visa ! Has anyone had any any experience please? I would also like to sponsor my sister for family visa subclass 489 and if I change the employer does it affect my right to support her for PR? Please advise. Thanks, Jo.
