Hi All

I wonder if someone can assist me in advising how the High Income Threshold amounts are calculated to allow for transition to apply for a186 visa Temporary Transition Scheme after working for the business for 3 years.

In essence I am on 482 visa as a Construction Project Manager and noticed the FWHIT has increased to $158,500 for FY21/22. I am concerned that I maybe below this as I believe that car allowances, bonuses and Superannuation is not calculated in your total re-numeration. You need to be above this amount for each year of the 3 years you are employed with the same company (Sponsor) and I am half way through, meeting the criteria last year.

I know someone out there will have the answer for me and thank you in advance - Basically, is your car benefit / phone allowance included or is it just your base salary? 

Thanks Pete

Use one of the agents who regularly post here like @wrussell or @paulhand

Thank you so much

I think this is one of those situations where you need to hire an agent to get the right advice. Ignorance is no excuse, as they say, and you don’t want to jeopardise  future visas by accidentally overstaying.

Thank you for your advice, I am currently trying to get hold of an agent to discuss this matter. Hopefully, somebody on here can assist me in the meantime, fingers crossed.

Hi Everyone

Could anyone please advise the following, due to redundancy on a 482 Visa, i only have 60 days to find a new sponsor. The questions I have are as follows?

1. Do I need to have the new sponsor approved within the 60 days if not then,

2. What happens if the new sponsor is waiting for approval and it goes past the 60 days or,

3. If the new sponsor is agreed either in point 1 or point 2, do I have to start work immediately or can I start a month or so later?

I would really appreciate any assistance on this.

Thanks Pete

You essentially need to be employed within the 60 days - so yeah unfortunately!

What's your job?

My visa nominated occupation is a Construction Project Manager, I was employed as a client-side Project Director in Sydney CBD. So my visa is the medium to long term.

If you’re made redundant it would be from the day the employment ceased. 

Sorry to hear, it’s not easy finding a sponsor 

Thank you Lambert - hopefully, I will find something quickly. I don't suppose if you know if the sponsor needs to be approved within the 60 days?

Hi All

i am currently on a 482 visa and have just been made redundent by my sponsor with immediate affect so will not be required to work my 4 weeks notice . I understand that I only have 60 days to find a new sponsor, can anyone please advise if the 60 days commences from the end of your notice period (in my case 4 weeks) or from the day your employment ceased? Thank you.
