Marianne Smith

Nobody knows with certainty when specific details of the new legislation will be released. However, is it reasonable to expect them to be released this week or the one after ? Or could it take a month ?

Hi A) isn't the skill assessment already required to apply for the 457 so technically already done ? B) does it have to be Australian work experience ? If not , again, isn't it already a requirement of the 457 to have at least 3 years of work experience ? C) the employer might be not willing to sponsor for the 186 directly coz they might fear that the employee once received PR could find employment somewhere else hence not completing the 2 years and basically just using the employer to get PR (I'm not referring to this specific case but for example restaurants with cooks) D) isn't ielts also needed with at least 6 in all bands ?

Can you do that for profession on the short term list that haven't completed the 2 years of work with the employer yet ?
