Hi, I am currently in NZ on a 457 visa going to Aus on a casual basis (well, the last casual assignment was for 8 months!!!). I am now thinking of migrating to Aus and weighing up options for different visas. The company is willing to sponsor me for 121 visa. But there is a 2 year contract attached and the company is relatively low-paying. On the other hand, I will qualify for 70 points for the 175 visa. I see that the minimum points is 65 points. My biggest concern is, 70 is only marginally above 65 points. I am afraid that the application may be rejected/delayed/lost interest. Do you guys think I am better to stick to a 121 visa? Or is 70 points good enough? Does anyone know how Immigration compares points against minimum point requirements? Any suggestions/ideas/sharings will be appreciated.

Hi there, This is my first post here, and i am getting a lil bit confuse because of the eligibility test from the DIAC website. I had been searching this forum but couldnt find an answer yet. Hope somebody could help me out here. This is my situation: I intend to apply for visa 475. I have enough threshold point of 65 from the point test accumulated from(age-30,English-10,State sponsorship[regional]-10,academic qualification-15=65). However if I only have 2 years of overseas skill employment(rather than 3 which gives 5 points),no experience in Australian skilled employment,and am without any Australian study requirement, am i still eligible visa applicant or not? Am i required to at least gain 3 years of overseas experience(min) so that i am qualified to apply? Thanks and I hope you guys could help me to sort this matter as my State sponsorship will arrive soon and i am not sure to proceed with visa apps or not. Thousand thanks Regards

Guys wonder if any of you have heard this to? I spoke to a friend last night who told me that her migration agent had emailed her saying that the GSM minimum age had been increased from 45 to 50 :biggrin:(possibly higher). I cant find anything on the immigov pages, it might not be correct:skeptical:

Guest posted a topic in Visa Chat
Hi All, I'm applying for the immigration visa now under subclass 175 (independent). In the application form I see this question- What is the value of money, goods and assets which you (and your partner) intend to bring to Australia? My question is, how much should I quote minimum? I mean minimum how much would be sufficient? BR, Wasim -

Hi i need help regarding my 457 visa. My visa agent forwarded me an email he had recieved this morning from my case officer regarding my 457 visa.. It stated that; electrical worker grade 5 pay rate is $637.60 per week or $16.78 per hour,this rate would not meet TSMIT?(the base rate is 45k I think,and $16.78 only adds upto 33k),and it also does not meet REG 2.72(10)(cc)? I'm currently in australia and my employer has signed a contract stating he'll pay me $30 per hour... Any help please,has anybody else has this problem? How is it possible to get a 457 as an electrician if the standard set pay rate is 12k lower then the requirements??This is really confusing me now. Any help please,that I can forward onto my visa agent,and he can forward onto my case officer?? Many thanks. Nathan

Hi everyone, it is me again :smile: I have been online and I am trying to work out what the national minimum wage is here in Oz but there seems to be a lot of different sites with additional information which changes things site to site as well as it appears state to state! In England it was just simple: You have to get paid at least this amount per hour, through the whole of England, changing only when you got to a certain age when the minimum wage went up...Is it as simple as that here in Oz? I am 22 years old, and living in Western Australia - can anybody let me know what the minimum wage is for me, if possible? And is there another age bracket above my age at which the minimum wage goes up? Thanks guys!! xx

Minimum Sentence For Mentally Ill Criminals Who Kill Their Victims?
LisaIan posted a topic in Aussie Chat
Hi Guys, Just wondered what your thoughts are with regards to this subject? This is in relation to the following news story, printed last week ‘Indefinite sentence’ butcher Gregory Davis freed | The Sun |News An e-petition has been set up to impose a law change so these criminals have to serve a minimum sentence. Petition to: introduce a minimum sentence for mentally ill criminals who kill their victims. | Number10.gov.uk I am personally involved, however, even if I wasn't I think 6 years in prison for murdering 2 people and attempting to murder a third is just shocking. If you agree, please sign the petition, it takes just 1 minute! You do need to be a British Citizen or resident and there is a specific 'expatriate' option. If you do sign, please let me know Thanks, Lisa -

I have been in Australia for nearly 1 year now on my working visa with my boyfriend. We were booked to go home in two weeks but last week I got offered a job by a not for profit company as a IT Help Desk Officer. The company has said that they will sponsor me to stay in the country however the salary is 40,000. I raised the point that there may be a problem with me getting accepted because I need to be paid a minimum market salary which as I understand is $45,225. After a lot of phonecalls back and forth, they told me that I would not need to be paid the minimum salary because that is only the case for the tempory 457 visa.... they are offering permanent residency instead. I have just checked a couple of things on the internet and it seems that the minimum salary is for both temp and perm visas. Basically what I need to know is..... is there a way for the company to sponsor me without having to pay me the minimum salary? I really need some help here because I have to decide pretty soon so that I don't loose my flights back to UK. Cheers guys!! p.s Im stressed out! :chatterbox:

How much dies it cost to migrate to Australia? We are getting married before we go so money is going to be tight but we will be trying to save in the meantime but don't have the foggiest idea of how much we will really be needing. Thinking of going over on working holiday Visa and going from there once we are out there. Dad will be putting us up so won't be needing first months rent and deposit.

I am working in an Architect firm and on a sponsered visa E457. My minimum base salary is 43 440 based on a 38 hour week. However, I work a 42.5 hour week (its 9-6 everyday but I think we only get half an hour paid break so its therefore 42.5 hours in total) so the minimum base salary is 48 418 as calculated from the Minimum Salary Levels and Occupations for the Temporary Business Long Stay Visa Notice 2008 (http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/sbs/eligibility-nomination.htm). The firm I work for is small and I feel that if I raise this issue they will find reason to fire me as they often joked that I get paid too much! Is there a labour department I could speak to that anybody knows of? They also have said to me that they would only sponser me if they opted out of any of the required extras such as medical cover and flights home. Its not in contract, I just verbally agreed as of course, I wanted the sponsership! I also have thought about asking them for LAFHA but again feel like I would get shut down. Are they allowed to say no to LAFHA? I'd really appreciate any help here as I am struggling with any day to day payments and need to get this raise! Cheers, Ed
