Deh Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Google ENS. It is an employer sponsored permanent visa. You can be anywhere in Australia as long as your job is on the sol or csol, you meet minimum wage etc. You would need either to have worked for your employer on a 457 for two years, or have a positive skills assessment. And of course your employer needs to agree. Cheers Blossom79! I'm having a look on Immi website right now but there is so much information that I'm going crazy. My employer would already have given me a PR if he could so no doubts he will agree to do it when time comes. Just not sure if he will meet the criteria as it's different from 457. Anyway... will go from here to see what info I can gather. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deh Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 May I suggest that you consult your agent? Yeah, that's probably the best ideia It's just I'm quite sure he was the one who told me I couldn't get the PR here so I was hoping to get more info from somebody else. I can ask him again but it will cost me a good money and right now I'm very very poor. Thank you anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case you would have to work on the 457 for two years before being able to be sponsored for pr by the company in Melbourne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deh Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Today Immi requested our medical examination and also evidence of health insurance cover. Does anyone know if it means the Visa is likely to be approved? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Impossible to know unfortunately. I'd take it as a good sign though that it's being processed so hopefully you'll have a decision soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
