what if your occupation is still on the list but the caveats now state 2 years experince? My application is processing but the 2 year rule was not applicable when submitted.

Our agent came back to us today. I have a degree in graphic design but only 20 months work experience. The new legislation states a 24 month minimum work experience term. Our agent has advised us that although the occupation is still on the list its now unlikely it will go through :(. We are from the uk (low risk). This is very worrying as we were so close for getting it.

Thanks for the reply. I am a graphic designer which appears to be unaffected, hopefully all good as the application was lodged in January.

Hi guys, Long time lurker, first time poster.. Me and my partner are currently waiting for our 457 visa application to be approved. We are very close but todays news of 457 abolishment is worrying. Does anyboday know how this will affect applicants whose visas are currently processing? Thanks
