Has anyone got out of the 2 year residency clause on state sponsorship from ACT? I am asking this, as I have been in ACT for 4 months now. I have not been able to secure a job here. (I am an architect but not registered in Australia, but worked previously in India, Singapore and Dubai). And due to this not been able to rent a residential property. Me and my family (me, wife, a 4 year old and a baby on the way), are staying in a hotel all this time. This has really taken a toll on my savings. Recently the company I used to work for in Dubai has offered me a job in their Sydney office. I am really desperate and want to take up that offer. Please advise.
