Wen66 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Hi:smile: Visited Australia last year and totally fell in love with the country. We are in the process of applying for a Skilled Nominated (sub level) 190 visa. Hoping we can get our visa sometime in 2014. But it's such a slow process. So any help would be greatly appreciated. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freesia Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Don't think there's anything anyone can do to help the waiting situation- but search the boards & you'll find others waiting for the same visa- good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO and I are applying for a 457 visa; from what I understand, there isn't much assessing compared to other types of visas. I found it really helpful to search for 457 visas on this forum and get advice from people seeking the same Cx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 But, a 457 visa is not emigrating. It is a temp stay and very chance you will be returning in 4 years. While the 457 can mean a candidate coming to Oz and working for 2 years with an employer in order to get around the skills assessment, there are huge risks. Not just the rules governing 457. But the risk that the occupation drops off the list before the 2 years is completed. I have seen this repeatedly. Hi Wendy!

Do correct me if I am wrong. Otherwise, thanks for your random, unsolicited advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, thanks for your random, unsolicited advice. Sorry it was not aimed at you or a dig in any way. It was aimed at cautioning the Op on going down a 457 route as they are considering a PR visa and therefore i assume they are looking at a permanent move. In which case it is important they understand that a 457 is a temp work permit and that is why it is quicker and easier to apply for. Depending on their hitch with the skills assessment, the prospect of doing two years on 457 to get around the skills assessment is not also necessarily a wise move as although the formal skills assessment is removed, you are required to establish your skills - employer references / CV etc. Again sorry, and I should probably not have replied with your quote but as a separate post.

I totally accept your apology and proffer mine. I came back to edit my comment to remove the snarkiness but you have since replied. You're totally right in what you have said and make a valid point.
