Sounds like you are speaking from experience.... why do you think it’s not the better life? I’m interested to get your perspective 

Well thanks for your supportive comments.... we were waiting for the employer to confirm if they are happy to nominate and if a position was available, not lazy literally read it all before realising we have been taken off the list. only started talks at the end of Feb but thanks for being judgemental and making me feel so much better about the situation.

you are right,  we have had a good chat about it and there is the possibility of looking at the 190 visa, so all is not lost. my hubby wants to go for it regardless as it's better to have tried and at least given it a go than to not give the kids that chance even if it is only for 2/4 years....  i am torn... 

no longer on the 186 list ......  with the TSS we are on the short term list so looks like only 2 years, if i read it right as we are applying in the UK we can get a 2nd 2 year visa after that... can we then get a PR if been there for 4 years? 

i am now really concerned about our options.  i dont want to uproot the family for 2 years

 my hubby's job has been taken off the 186 visa list

Thank you..... we better get chasing them for a nomination :-)

We still don,t know. It was initially supposed to commence in early March, but now Immigration has gone quiet and we are not sure when it will be introduced.

There will be many differences under TSS. Some of the major differences include:

• No more training benchmarks;
• Compulsory training contribution to skilling Australia fund;
• Compulsory labour market testing with very few exemptions;
• Higher English language for occupation on the Medium/Long term list;
• Minimum two years full time employment experience.

 

Thank you ? 

my husband works for an Australian based company so we have everything crossed for either a 457 (TSS) or 186 ENS ? is it better to wait for nominations to be approved before submitting visa or can we submit application once nominations is acknowledged?

nomination & visa apply together still waiting for response 

are you already in Oz or applying off shore?  how long did it take to get a nomination? 

do we know when the TSS will come in?  is there much difference?  when looking at the 457 on homeaffairs.gov.au is this all still the old rules? 

any Customer Services Managers get an invitation on the back of an expression of interest? 

I’m a Paralegal in the Uk with Legal Exec qualifications but they are worthless in Australia ?

i have also sent my CV to as many solicitors in the regional post code areas too ?

I have put in my EoI for the RMSM yesterday.  It was literally the only visa option i have

It there anything I should do to increase my chances??

how does it all work? i am getting desperate now lol
