Hey, so i have been in Australia for 7 years as a hairdresser. I had completed my 457 visa and my boss which really did drag her heels on being my nominee for 186 (pr) i had applied in May 2017 and in Nov 2017 she had sold the buisness. 8 days before she sold i had my bridging visa come through. My migrant officer had advised she keep the abn open until my grant comes through. 22 months later immigration finally open my case to see my nominees abn had been deregistered one month ago. My ex boss had not rang me for confirmation but presumed. My agent had now advised me its likely it will be refused and gave me 2 options. Option 1- apply for tribunal (which my ex boss will not pay for) which buys me 12 months to move to tasmania work there for 6 months and then apply for state nomination visa 190. With my ex boss not paying for tribunal other option is get sponsored in tassie and then 6 months after apply for state nom Option 2- get sponsored where i am now (where i am really happy) then apply for pr the day my 482 expires. Has anybody heard of this sort of case happen before ?
