berto Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hi, were currently on a 457 visa and have 19 months to go till this end. we were wondering if could ask my husbands employer to give him a permanent sponsorship, how does it work? Has anyone done that? Could we apply before the end of the visa and does it mean he'll have to work for him permanently or could he go his separate way eventually. Lots of question I know. Answers much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surflen22 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Might be worth taking a look here. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/visa-permanent.htm Depending on what your husband's job is and also where you are it could be a possibility. I've just done it. I applied 1 year into my 457 and now have PR. How long your husband works with the company after PR is granted will depend on the contract between the two of them and also what kind of visa he ends up on.

berto Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thanks surflen 22, so when you've finished your contract do you get to stay permanently and can you move anywhere in oz? we're in Victoria and he's a floor layer, he can't get state sponsored as its not on the list. Need to look at your attachment, thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
