thanks for all your advice guys! I think I may have to pass on this job opportunity for now as I don't want anything to make the whole process even harder than it already is! I think I will stay in aus until my visa a at very least granted before I seek jobs off shore!

verystormy- on another note, are you from Strathaven in Scotland? I'm originally from the small village called Quarter on your way to Strathaven from Hamilton

Snifter,

no I literally just received the email last week. I thought I would ask on here first before to see if anyone had been in the same situation.

yes I do have full work rights and entered on a tourist and lodged on shore.

I haven't looked into the residency aspect yet. was just putting some feelers out to see what the outcome was, if I am goling to go ahead with it I will speak to someone as I wouldn't want to ruin my chances of staying here.

that would be great thanks loopylu!!

thanks for this Loopylu, I have sent you a PM with a Few questions

I recently got approached from my old company in the UKabout a job opportunity working in the middle east on a Fly in Fly out(FIFO)rotation. I am currently on a Bridging Visa A (partner 820/801) which doesn’t allowme to travel but has anyone had any experience with a situation like this. WouldI be able to apply for a bridging visa B to leave the country for work thencome back?

So basically I want to know if I am able to leave thecountry for work without ruining my chances of staying in Australia.

Thanks in advance David
