Amazing news congratulations! I am in the middle of doing my paperwork at the moment so I hope mine doesn't take the 10 months they recommend it could take. Did you lodge the paperwork yourself or using an agent? Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

Hello everyone I am new to the forum and wondered if anyone could shed some light on the 457 news. I am currently on a 457 and have been since May 2015 so I am very close to applying for PR and have my company in the process of doing so. I have another 2 years left on the 457 but also been here since August 2013 when I was on a 417. Am I right in saying current 457 holders rights to be here won't change even if your occupation is removed as you are already on a 457 and working? Would I be best to spend the $10k for a migration agent to complete the paperwork for PR or spend $4k and get my company and myself to file for PR seeing as goal posts have now moved and may become more tricky?
