Medicals generally last 12 months + a discretionary amount of time (up to 6 months further, if you meet certain criteria and that is up to the processing case officer). Generally if you aren't what we call "A grade" on your medical, you may be required to undertake further health examinations. Proteinuria can occur for a variety of reasons, some of which may be transient. What I would do is have my GP do another dipstick and see if the problem still exists. Being well hydrated can help with these problems. If your urine is dilute, this can potentially solve the problem, especially since the dipsticks are very crude and use a reagent based method of testing for protein. Were you referred to a nephrologist? (kidney specialist) As always, if in doubt consult a migration agent for advice specific to your situation. Here is the advice the department gives medical officers:

Hi Kim, I'm sorry about your situation. I'm not a migration agent or a lawyer, and would suggest you contact one for some advice. That being said many questions that apply in medically related employment problems: Is your job a physical job? Was this a workplace injury? Was this accident in Australia? Was this covered by mandatory insurance that every vehicle has (compulsory third party)? Is your employer able to accommodate you in any way? Would you be able to negotiate unpaid leave? Do you have income protection insurance through your super? These questions will play a large part in your decision making process and certainly resigning is something that should be discussed with an RMA, even if just a 30 minute or 1 hour consultation.

There is no obligation for the employer to notify DIBP. According to DIBP the vast majority of cancellation proceedings for 187 visas are as a result of employer notifications. They do not actively seek out to investigate whether someone is still with their employer, however there is nothing to prevent this. Long story short, from their own info and guidance, if your employer doesn’t say anything, nothing seems likely to happen. Another, more crafty method of accomplishing this is formally negotiating and more importantly documenting leave without pay with your employer. This is specifically allowed by DIBP and counts towards your two years. Of course you can take another job during this time.

Here’s the links. For those dual citizens needing to travel in a hurry with kids etc (future post readers) just read this. Info: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/lega/lega/form/immi-faqs/what-is-an-australian-declaratory-visa Application:

Ask about applying for a Australian Declaratory Visa which isn't really a visa but lets you travel. @Cubic

Better save this info quick, before @Raul Senise complains.

Before you go impugning me, I suggest you have a search on this site for all the other RMAs who are posting direct cuts from legendcom. Also those terms say "If you are, or represent, a public library, a library in an educational institution, a government agency or a non-profit institution allowing public access to data" A user using the service is not bound by the conditions. The library is. Since we are getting quote happy today, I most certainly DO NOT provide immigration advice, please note the following from the DIBP site in regards to the definition of advice. You should look at some of the people posting on this site, and then tell me again that I'm posting advice. Like I said before, I always say consult an RMA. Anyways, I would like to be excluded from this narrative. Have a good day. " Activities not regarded as immigration assistance include: clerical work to prepare (or help prepare) an application or other document. The term clerical work includes, but is not be limited to: typing answers into an application/document writing answers into an application/document translating answers into an application/document photocopying an application/document collating documents indicating where certain information should go in an application form paying the Visa Application Charge physically lodging an application posting or emailing an application/document. providing translation or interpretation services to help prepare an application or other document advising another person that the other person must apply for a visa passing on information produced by a third person, without giving substantial comment on or explanation of the information. "

So the first document that Stung posted was out of date, and the one I posted is now inappropriate to post because of copyright. I am sensing a bit of credence to Stung's theory that you really have a problem with information in the public domain. Need I mention again that anyone with a pulse can access LegendCOM for FREE and copy this information from their local library. Also, amusingly you will find that Westly has posted many long excerpts from the PAM3 and LEGENDcom himself over the years.

I can't be bothered to go back in the stacks and give you each revision. Here's the current excerpt. I'm guessing the RMAS will be triggered. I am not an RMA just to clarify. As always consult your local migration agent with any questions. (I feel like this is one of those "talk to your doctor" disclaimers) BTW, did you know that you can access LegendCOM at any state public library for free! Obviously that's not how I access it, but it's free during business hours.

I realise it will be expensive, but you will need to do either one or the other of these. The identity verification is codified in National Law and it's just how AHPRA works. In order for the 457 to be granted, you will be asked for the Registration in Principle document which assures the government that you meet the criteria for registration. The reason people don't apply simultaneously is because incomplete applications are processed slower, and also you have 28 days from the time they ask you to respond with a "IMMI s56 Request for More Information" before they refuse your visa. If for some reason you don't have this registration in principle, you've just been refused a visa and lost your money.

I'll see what I can do it might be tricky as each individual migration stack update has its own change log, and it's been changed many times over the last 4 years. LegendCOM is down at the moment until tomorrow but I let you know what I come up with.

If you let me know what you're after, I can pull it up.

The ANZSCO description for Marketing specialist 225113 and the unit code is very cut and dried unfortunately. I'm not sure what grounds you could appeal with. "Most occupations in this unit group have a level of skill commensurate with a bachelor degree or higher qualification. At least five years of relevant experience may substitute for the formal qualification. In some instances relevant experience and/or on-the-job training may be required in addition to the formal qualification (ANZSCO Skill Level 1)."

Here is the quote from the DIBP in regards to this, however it refers to leave without pay. Since leave without pay counts, I'd be willing to bet that leave with pay counts as well, but you could always check with a migration agent. The other thing is, the only way the DIBP finds out you stopped working there is generally if the employer themselves notifies them. " If the employer provides information that the visa holder has permanently ceased to work for the employer, the delegate may issue a notice of proposed cancellation. For more information, refer to Proposing cancellation. Circumstances may arise where a visa holder is on leave without pay (LWOP) during the required two year employment period. Where an employer has approved LWOP, it is not generally regarded as a break in the continuity of service. Approved LWOP is also a standard condition in most awards. Therefore, any LWOP that has been approved by the employer is not to be regarded as a termination of employment. Previous periods of employment for the same employer whilst the holder of another class or subclass of visa (such as a UC-457 visa) does not count towards the required period of employment. However, they may be relevant in assessing genuine effort."
