emsheen Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hi All I have applied for 190 and just have a quick question. I was on a 457 and when I noticed things starting to slow down I did everything that was required of my to apply for a NSW 190 before the company went under. Now they have gone and I've been waiting to hear on my 190 but according to other threads I could be waiting for quiet some time. Which I don't mind doing once I can work. If I get a bridging visa A do I have unrestricted working rights so I can go and work for a new company while my application is processed. or do I have to prove the financial hardship?? Or how does this system work? any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 No you will not have working rights at the moment on your BVA. In fact i wonder if you are you even on BVA ... did your 457 visa expire? Or did it end because the job finished? You could very well be on BVE, working rights can be applied for on this visa but never travel rights.

I am currently trying to see if they cancelled my 457 or not. If not i'll have to cancel it and then apply for the working rights on my bridging visa?? I think that's correct. Thanks in advance.

Yes that is what you need to do then. But note you are going to be on bridging visa E, the worst bridging visa. You can still apply for working rights if you can prove hardship however. To be honest though, if your 190 application is already in, then it really shouldn't take that long to be granted. It might be a perfect time for a holiday.

MaggieMay24 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 A BVE isn't generally a good visa to be on. You may find in the long run you're better off hoping DIBP considers the fact that you've applied for the 190 and decides not to cancel the 457, thereby allowing you to remain on that visa until the 190 is granted.

Hi Maggiemay Thanks for your reply. Why would it be better to stay on the 457?? I have been out of work since xmas and its really starting to drive me crazy. My 457 still has not been cancelled and I thought it might be better to cancel it then get my bridging visa and then apply for working rights?? I see people receiving all these delay letters for the 190 so I'm thinking I could be on it for quiet a while longer and wouldn't I better off on a bridging visa, at least I could work. All advise greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 If you can find another employer to take over your 457 visa, that would be your best bet. If you end up on bridging visa e, and got work rights... If something serious happened overseas and you HAD to leave, you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All advise greatly appreciated It is really not up to you to decide whether you stay on the 457, so not sure why debate whether it is better or not. As you gave up work at Xmas you really should have reported this by now and both you and your company had a duty to do so. I think you are sailing close to the wind, better hope the 190 is granted quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
