dave1975rudge 10 Posted August 25, 2014 Hi I have been applying for jobs as a refrigeration and air conditioning over in OZ asking if they will all sponsor me ive had nothing good back. Can anyone give me any advice or help me with this ? i think 457 sponsorship is the only way one for me Thanks Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blossom 3,079 Posted August 25, 2014 Have you looked to see if you can pass the skills assessment and if any states are sponsoring? Sponsorship is very hard to get from overseas I'm afraid. Has two beautiful Aussie little girls :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VERYSTORMY 3,320 Posted August 25, 2014 Dave, a 457 is rarely the most suitable visa and it is very hard to get a sponsor from overseas. Tell us a bit more about yourself and we can advise if there may be better options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will find it if you go to http://www.immi.gov.au and search for the 189, 190 or 489 visas. These would be much better options for you versus the 457.

blossom 3,079 Posted August 29, 2014 Also, look at the job on the list and if will tell you who the assessing authority is. Then check with them what you need to pass the skills assessment. Has two beautiful Aussie little girls :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
