Guest MigrateAustralia Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hi Janak, Working for the sponsoring employer on a 457 for 2 years is essential for an ENS application under the transition stream, but you also need to ensure you meet all the eligibility requirements. Good luck! Regards, Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickled Pink Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 If you have not been with one single, same employer for two years or more you will only be able to apply for ENS direct entry stream. This means that you will need to undertake a skills assessment as a requirement. This is the link you will need to give you all the info you require, in particular refer to booklet 5 as it breaks down all the requirements for eligability etc: http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skills.../subclass-186/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickled Pink Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Have you been on a 457 visa with that same employer for all of the two years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janak Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Have you been on a 457 visa with that same employer for all of the two years? I have been on 457 since 1 year. And total 2 years with same employer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickled Pink Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Then no, it must be a 457 visa, for two years, same employer. With one year on the 457 you will only be eligable for the direct entry stream and will need to do the skills assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already got positive skill assessment from ACS for nominated occupation. But haven't got 3 years total experience. Will it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickled Pink Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 No. You must have three years post qualification experience. It is a seperate part of the eligability criteria for both of the ENS streams. If you don't have three years post qual work experience in the field directly relevant to your nominated occupation you will have to wait until you do to apply.

Thanks Tickled Pink, So there's no way other than wait 1 year to complete 3 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickled Pink Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 You need three years post qual experience - not sure how much clearer that can be!! It is a requirement of the ENS eligebility criteria. If you don't have it, you don't have it. The only way to get it is to wait and work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immigration has contradict information on their skillselect site and booklet 5. http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickled Pink Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 For the direct entry stream, which since you have not got the two year working requirement with your current employer, is the only stream you could currently go for, it clearly states the three year post qual, in requirement, in addition to a positive skills assessment, this is on page 22 of booklet 5.
