newtothis Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 My partner and I have living in WA for 7 months and would ideally like to apply for PR before the two years we might have to wait for employer sponsored. My partner is a chef, has been in the industry for 6 years but gained his qualification in July 11. I have emailed the lawyer that arranged our 457 visa and he asked if we had discussed it with the employer yet. a few queries: Can we apply now using the direct entry scheme? If so, would my partner need a skills assessment? would he need three years post qualification experience or do they look at experience too? and finally, whats the timescale and cost? we are pretty sure his employer would be happy for him to do this now if its an option. Im quite confused thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Yes he would need a skills assessment and I believe the experience would need to be post qualification, but wait for more responses on that point as I am not certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
