mpatel1972 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hi, Reading the criteria on schedule 2, the key one is where I must have a 12-month job offer. I have submitted my EOI and am waiting for the invite. Now, my understanding is that I will not receive an invite unless I have a 12-month job offer in place. Speaking to some agents and looking at job sites, majority of the employers will not consider anyone unless they have a relevant visa already. How can someone meet this job offer on schedule 2 criteria? Has anyone on schedule 2 received a visa? If so, how did you find the job and invite? Please correct me if I have not understood the process. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 It is very difficult to meet the criteria. The reason being is that this is often because there is not a big demand for these occupations or because there are plenty of people qualified to do them.

MaggieMay24 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 You have understood the criteria correctly - to get an invitation you must have a job offer, and job offers are difficult to find since employers prefer to hire people who already have a visa. You can either look for sponsorship in another state (if your job is on the relevant state occupation list), try to get enough points for a visa that doesn't require sponsorship, or find an employer willing to offer you a job knowing you don't have a visa yet.

mpatel1972 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Thank you both for your response. Not really sure why the state has such criteria especially when there such a low chance of anyone getting the invitation\visa via this route.
