I am in Queensland, Australia. My employer sent me on Work Permit - 457 under the job title "ICT Manager - nec (135199)". I did not have any plans for Permanent Residency at that time and I happily accepted the offer without caring much about the job code. I have been living here for last 1 year and 6 months and doing system administrators job.
As days passed, I started liking this place and decided to apply for PR. Because my roles and responsibilities are related to Remote Infrastructure Management(Servers/Networks/Switches), I got the ACS evaluation done under "System Administrator - 262113" and the outcome was positive. Furthermore, I scored the highest band in PTE-A.
Now one of my close friend is saying that I can not apply under "System Administrator - 262113" role as I am already in Australia with a different Job code and I must apply PR under the job code "ICT_Manager_nec.
PS: Though I have a job title of "ICT_Manager_nec", my primary roles and responsibilities are related to System administration.
Please advise, How can i proceed with System Administrator's role? Also, I don't want to lose the Onsite experience as its contributing 5 points to my overall score.
