You can be sponsored under ENS Direct Entry providing you meet all the requirements, The main reason people who are on a 457 do not normally do Direct Entry I would assume is the inability to obtain a Skills Assessment which would be required for the Direct Entry Route. Other issues are under 45, occupation needs to be on the MTLSSL list. Company need pay some $$$ and agree, however its an option.. http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/186-

What work have you been doing for the 10 years?

I am pretty sure its been reduced to 60 days? She will just have to put up with the other salon until the company sponsorship has been approved and nomination approved.

After visa has been submitted 75% applications processed in 15 Months.. Remember if you from a hr country it may be longer

Thanks all, I have told them to see a MA for clarification just to be sure... Thanks ;-)

Direct Entry stream 15 Months 18 Months

If you are on a bridging visa, check your work conditions on vevo... if there are none restricting you, then you can work with the new owner until your case is finalised, however with the previous refusal and a new owner, I don't think the MRT will help you. Did you use a Migration Agent for the MRT? If so then I would speak to them about it...

yea think the bva has kicked in as the whv expired

WHV -> BVA (not expired) They have applied for bvb for travel

Hi All, My friend has put in their 457 application a while ago and got asked for more info, They supplied more info and are awaiting the decision. They are concerned they may be declined for a few reasons,that don''t matter too much however they want to return to the UK for 2 weeks due to a death in the family. My question is, if there visa is declined while they are in the UK, will they be allowed back to Oz to sort out their affairs and appeal the decision if they want too? Or will there bridging visa be cancelled and they not be able to come back? I told them the latter, however I now feel a little guilty assuming ....

I think thats a good idea

My MA refused to upload docs to immi for a nomination, instead would only email them, I said NO, I want them uploaded - this went on for a few days, in the end I uploaded them and the nomination was granted the next day!! There are some great MA''s on this forum, however some very shocking ones out there.

I imagine they can still see the info, However they may not check for 28 days. Id press that button after checking the files have been attached!

How would anyone know, seems like its still within the current processing times, so you just gotta wait! If you are form HR country and HR trade then it may take longer... be patient

Getting an IT Job in Sydney isn''t the issue.. Getting an IT Job in Sydney when you are on a WHV looking for potential Sponsorship makes it an issue.. Your IT knowledge is pretty 1st level support, if you had certs / exp in VMware, Oracle, MCP Cert, Linux or advanced Networking skills it makes the WHV thing less of an issue. I am not in Sydney nor IT directly, However I would guess its pretty tough and a fair few applications per job advert. To sum it up, Getting a IT Job on a WHV will be tough, getting sponsored will be very very tough , getting a Permanent visa will be impossible. What ever you decide to do, Good Luck and have fun!

Which would be 2 year visa and no possiblity of ENS?

The lists haven't changed since July as far as I am aware? So your visa would have been granted with that of the Short Term list..

Its hard to get sponsored for IT Support roles. If you have some knowledge / Certificate to set you apart from all the rest then very much a possibility. However at the lovely young age of 21, I doubt you would have such experience just yet. Also remember alot of IT roles are only on the short term list so PR cannot be applied for as it could previously so even if you were sponsored, you may have to leave in a couple of years. My advice is to come over as planned and see for yourself ;-) There''s really no right or wrong decision ;-)

If she is studying a masters I believe there is no limit on the hours you can work, providing she holds a subclass 500 and studying towards a Masters or doctoral. However make sure you get on the plane that say's destination Australia.... Not Austrillia because only the almighty knows where that place is!!

They are not needed for any of the above visas as they are temporary visas.. Not sure if you qualify for a PR visa, so before booking the tests maybe speak with a Migration Agent for a initial consultation for some professional advice. I dont want to give you any incorrect info, as a lot of rules and visa have changed recently.

You could get a WHV for the first 12 months and see if you can get sponsored for the 457/TSS visa, its only temporary but could be upto 2 years. IIRC Animal attendant is on the short term list if these dont apply Excludes positions related to animal husbandry, including but not limited to positions that involve caring for livestock on a farm.

if you log into your IMMI Account does it say "Assessment in Progress" if so they may still make the 3 month time frame

I would advise you to use a MA that posts on this forum if you feel that you need professional help with regards to the application. Understanding how to present the correct information is normally the key to success. However hiring a bad MA can be even worse than doing it yourself, a good MA is worth the additional cost hands down in certain circumstances. Best of luck with your application.

Anyone else get a really low rate on Money Corp compared with TranferWise. 100,000gbp = 161,xxx with MC 100,000gbp- 173,xxx with TW ? Why so much difference?
