Could the company who sponsored my husband's visa reapply again for it when it expires if he's still working for them
-
So there's no chance that we can stay after our visa expires next yearThe Department has announced that applicants who lodged or held a subclass 457 visa prior to the announced changes on 18 April 2017 will only need to meet the current 2 years for TRT and the current age maximum of under 50 will apply. Applications lodged after 18 April 2017 will need to meet new 3 year TRT rules and be under 45. -
Thanks for this I will wait and see what the list isI would. I’ve not bought my son anything school wise since we arrived until the teacher has asked. It’s usually things like a writing pen when they get their pen licence .Or a yellow highlighter.
Each year we get given a short list in the first week. Gets sent home with child. We usually end up buying a pencil case (large as the small ones don’t cut it), a few A4 sleeves for workbooks and a highlighter and the pen. Oh a stapler and staples but we have been using the same one for 4 years now. Everything else is provided. Ruler, pencils, books. All given at school.
I’d not stress and wait and see what comes home or what he is asked to provide. If you want to send him with a pencil and pen to start chuck one in.
Eta - I’ve written this going out from it’s a state school. -
Hi snifterReception class? (Or kindy in some places I think).
Tbh nothing else is needed. School fees cover books, pencils etc. I’d just send him along with a backpack (we use non school ones as don’t lime school ones) and just put his drinks bottle, lunch box (if needed from day 1) and sun hat in.
If it’s half days they often don’t have lunch at school. Once he is doing all day they usually ask for fruit and recess snack to be sent in also.
No he's not in Kindy starting in grade 4. So do I just send him in with what you suggested then. -
My son is due to start school soon. I have a silly question to ask. What do I need to purchase for his first day or two at school. Do I need to buy writing books, etc, not too sure as the school have sent me info about the uniform required but not what to have in his backpack.

Our visas were lodged beg of august 2017 and granted 30 august. Both of us are 45
-
Our 2yr 457 visa was granted august 2017 is there any chance of residency. Or can the company apply again before it ends in august 2019?

Thank you for this. I think I will try making my own spray with essential oils if I can find where to buy them.You can buy lemon essential oil here, though I have never seen it in a spray. You could always try putting some in a spray bottle with some water. Spiders don't like lemon essential oil either. [emoji5]
There's a comparison here of commercially available mossie repellents. I haven't personally tested their recommendations as we don't have a mossie problem here ...but the Canstar site in general is very reliable.

We bought a big one from Coles it does the trick, we haven't burnt yet!

Well we'll just enjoy our time whilst we are here, unless my husband's company extend his visa.

The majority of people on the forum have pr never haven any previous visa.
It will depend though on your occupation and ability to pass the skills assessment as there are a number of occupations eligible for a 457 but not eligible for any pr visa. Also depends on age.
if you can tell us the following:
Occupation
Qualifications and experience
Age

Husband's job is classed a motor assessor on the visa, he's been with the UK side of the company for 2.5yrs, over here since beginning of November and he's 45. Hope you can advise if we have a chance of getting P.R. -
On a 457 you are not eligible for Child Care benefit, Child Care rebate or Family Tax benefit A&B:

Thank you for this information, saves me wasting my time at the Centrelink office -
Thats because they probably want you to hang up and if you do get through baffle you with red tape.....same in the UK they really dont want to give you what is legally your right to claim, I had a friend who worked in a benifits office and they were urged to make it so difficult for people to claim that many gave up.
So if I go and see them will they be able to help me -

Assuming that by "residency" you mean PR, then yes, you can apply for it whenever you are eligible.
Yes sorry it's P.R. how do we go about it. Sorry to be do vague only been in Oz for a month so just getting head around everything. -
-
Is there anyway that we can apply for residency while we're on a 457 visa. We've just recently arrived here and have been told we can apply for it. Is this true?
-
Its a big place. Can you be more specific as to cities or areas you are looking at? Might help people give some insight.
Oops sorry I forgot that. We're looking at areas around the south east coast, maybe Seaford, Chelsea, Mordialloc, frankston. My husband will be based from home and has been told to find somewhere in that area. As we don't know anything about areas we need some help. -
Can anyone give me any advice on what areas to avoid when renting in Victoria.
