I see, I am an engineer in renewable energies but the courses I had are closely related to electrical engineering.I've seen that for this occupation they only send invitations to people who can score 75. This would be achievable for me only if the internship can be counted as 'work experience', this is my biggest concern at the moment.

Thank you Raul. I think the only way for me to keep working for them would be to do my farmwork, to get a second WHV. This would give time and I would be able to get more points to apply for pr as I will turn 25 in June. I read somewhere that they only send invitations for people who can score 75 points. I know you can claim 5 points if you have one year work experience in Australia but does it take into account internships ? Because I came here to do my master's project assignment in the form of an internship. I was getting paid for this and it was full time.

Hello again, something crossed my mind. WOuld I be able to work for the company if I get my own ABN and invoice the company ? Also, I am going to turn 25 on June 26, my WHV expires June 3rd. I need to find a way to stay here 22 days to apply for a 189. Can I get a tourist visa and then apply for 189 ? Can I stay unlawfully in Australia until the 26th and get a bridging visa C ?

I graduated from the École Polytechnique in Paris. I don't see it mentioned anywhere on the washington accords. European countries have their own accords but apparently it's not recognised here unfortunately.

Hi Garry thank you for your answer. I just checked the requirements and the diploma has to be delivered by an accredited institution. There are close to none accredited European universities on that list so I think it rules me out for this Visa unfortunately.

Hi Paul, Thank you for replying. So I cannot submit an expression of interest even if my skills are currently being assessed ?

G'day everyone ! First of all I would like to apologise if similar questions have already been answered here but I haven't been able to find the answers I was looking for. Here is the situation, I am currently on a 417 working holiday visa which will expire in June 2019. I came to Australia to do my final project assignement to validate my master in Renewable Energies Engineering. The company I was working with was really happy with the work I did and they offered me a position. The problem is, I cannot work for them right now due to the 6 months working limitation with the same company (under 417). I want to apply for a 489 visa to stay here and work for them. The company can sponsor me and wait a few months until I get the visa. My questions are: Can I lodge an application for 489 knowing that my skills haven't been assessed yet ? If I lodge an application and get a bridging visa, will I have to wait until my current working holiday visa ends to work with the company again ? With my age, my qualifications and my English level I think I meet the points requirements. Thank you very much.
