Sounds great but the link doesn't work
-
At last!!! Our future looks as if it has been saved.
-
I've shared it and asked everyone to help. Fingers crossed
-
Me too. Don't want to go back. I've signed the petition. Is there a way to forward to all fb friends in one click?
-
Yes I know Good luck with it. It will be August next year for us hopefully.
-
Hi Verystormy, SJB123 is not saying that. We know you need a skills assessment for the direct entry route. We both know it is 2 years for the other route...and we were eligible to apply after 2 years under that route, before the age limit was changed.
-
Oh I see ...I have to say I wouldn't have come if there was no chance of PR, but now that I am here it has been amazing and it will be something I would never forget or regret (if it doesn't work out).
-
How are you in same position may I ask? Are you here on a 457 visa too with changes having been made?
-
How are you in same position? Are you in Australia on a 457 too?
-
Hi SJB123, I hope so too. I just wonder how and when we will find out!? At least the company has no worries, so we are going to try to stay positive.
-
Our ages made the risk unavoidable I'm afraid, yes. And yes, the company have said they will do whatever it takes, so hopefully it will get sorted. Am I right in saying that by March 2018 we will know for sure? Thanks for the good wishes.

Yes it should have been made more clear. I understand there will be people who should not get PR for many reasons. We are not in that category and we contribute to this country by working hard. I am from the UK and my immediate family are all here and have been for most of their lives. If we are asked to leave, we will see our family no more, except for holidays, and I will be the only one left in the UK. The company will also be affected as my husband is highly valued. This cannot be right and individual circumstances should be considered don't you think?
-
I am totally aware of all this, but again, it does have a PR route and we came on that assumption. The employer expected this too. I did say in my last comment that if it is due to termination of employment, or the job coming off the list, I would agree and understand. I would be just as upset but would have to understand this. The reason is not one related to the employer or the employee though, so I expect this will be resolved and honoured.
-
Yes but if it doesn't happen it should be for a reason linked to the job not an age limit being changed I would have thought.
-
This site is for people emigrating to Oz and for people who want to advise and help them, or that's what I thought?
-
Again...thank you Pom Queen. However, the 457 visa does have a route to PR through the TRT scheme, so as long as the job is still on the list, and the visa holder has a promise of a permanent job with the employer, this route should still apply.
-
I don't, and never have disputed this. I am merely saying there is a route to PR for 457 holders and that has been taken away.
-
I understand all of this Pom Queen and that is awful. However, most companies and 457 visa holders do the right thing. Plue, there is a route to PR that comes with the 457 visa and that is what we had... until they changed the age limit. That is what I am talking about. If the job disappeared off the list, or the company terminated the employment, fair enough, but the route to PR should stay for people who are still employed etc.
-
Doesn't sound good. I'll tell my future son in law to stick with his toolmaking ha ha.
-
This is not true. There is a true pathway to PR without a skills assessment and that is why we came here, on the understanding we could do this. They have changed the goalposts on this age limit recently and that is what we are disputing.
-
Hi Verystormy, it doesn't look like it's on the list, so where did you find this information please?
-
Look, apologies for taking it the way I did, but tbh I am just sick of the way people on the other thread (that you responded to just minutes before this) are treating people. I guess I just felt you were having a go.
-
Don't mean to be rude, but you obviously had a gripe with on another thread and decided to try to start it on here too! If we googled everything what's the point of Pomsinoz?
-
Thanks, but I asked for an answer. I am aware of how to find it thank you but just didn't have time!
-
Is 'police officer' on the long term list please?
