Need some assistance guys.
I've been sponsored 2 years now on a 457 temp visa, before that I spent 2 years on a WHV and 6 months on a study visa. Me and my partner, who is permanent resident, have been together for over 2 years; we have everything in place to apply for spouse visa, we've live together for 2 years now and have a baby girl, ozzy born.
My predicament is that I am having difficulties with my current employer; i really want to leave but as I've heard if I leave my current employment and apply for the spouse visa does this mean I would have no working rights until my visa was accepted? which can take over a year I've read. My circumstances mean I can't not work, as I have a family to provide for, has anyone been in a similar situation as this or can offer any advice?
thanks in advance
