Really confused, Please Helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doing a geographical Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 It has to be 2 years on the 457 and it's a strict rule. If you get your skills assessed you can apply whenever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Two years on a qualifying visa of which I don't think graduate is. Easily overcome by skills assessment. Edit: was on phone earlier and could not check qualifying visa list, but have now. It might be a qualifying visa if that is the graduate skilled temporary UQ one you have? Unfortuantely it doesn't use the visa number which I guess we are more familiar with. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/qualifying-visas.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doing a geographical Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 You need you TRA Migration Skills Assessment. Job ready is something irrelevant. How many years experience in your occupation do you have and are you qualified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunu7 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yes sir, I have Australian 2 years qualification which is positively assessed by TRA and I have worked as a cook for same employer for 2 yrs after my studies..... but all that 2 year experience was not on 457 visa ????????????????????/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doing a geographical Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 You need the Migration Skills Assessment from TRA. I'm not exactly sure if 2 years experience is enough. The first thing to do is work out if you're eligible for TRA Migration Skills Assessment. If you can get this, you're employer is willing to sponsor you for 856 visa, and he meets the criteria, then you're sweet. Otherwise, you could wait 2 years on the 457 visa then apply.

Really confused, Please Helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Proceed with caution as some of the advice on this post, although well intentioned, is a bit misleading. The 485 is not one of the qualifying visas if applying under the 2 years criterion. If you apply using a skills assessment, you will also require 3 years of full time employment experience, unless exceptional circumstances apply. This may be possible depending on your circumstances. Be mindful that the Regulations for the employer nomination scheme (ENS) will be changing extensively on the 1st of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunu7 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 But expenience has been gained full time for 2yrs .. Being a qualified chef and positive skill assessment .. Can my case come under exceptional circumstances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doing a geographical Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I just has a quick look at the guidelines and it looks you're not eligible for TRA Migration Skills Assessment. "have three years of full-time paid employment in your nominated occupation at the required skill level" Is one of the conditions. If you only have 2 years it doesn't look like it will be enough. If I was in your shoes I'd wait 2 years on the 457 visa and then apply for 856 visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doing a geographical Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 What do you mean apply for state sponsorship? For which visa? I never thought I'd say this but it might be good to talk to a registered migration agent to find out what your options are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the skills assessment pathway that international student, who have gained their trade qualifications in Australia, must undertake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
