leedskev Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 My family and i moved over on a 457 based on my work.I am approaching 50 (Nov this year) and my employer is putting me through for a PR Visa.However he is undecided as to whether or not he is going to put my family through as well.I obviously do not want to get it done if my family are unable to get one So my question is Am i able to do it for them after mine is done or does it have to happen the same time due to my age ??

Chortlepuss Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I was sponsored from 457 to PR aged 46 - My company put all my family thru .. Much cheaper than relocating us back to UK as per terms of 457. I'd push to get you all through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozmaniac Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Your employer sponsors you for the permanent visa but YOU make the visa application and can include your family without needing permission from anyone. They may refuse to pay the Visa Application Charge for your family members but that's par for the course. Many people (probably most in fact) pay the full VAC (even their own) for the permanent visa as there is no requirement for the employer to do anything more than sponsor/nominate you and undertake that they will employ you for another 2 years.

Suzukiscottie Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 How much is it going to cost your employer to fly you all back home versus the visa application fees? Just sayin' ! [emoji12] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 You have no choice than to have them included on the application as their 457 visas are reliant on yours with the sponsor. Once the 186 is granted this overrides the 457 if still valid and not on bridging visa therefore they would become unlawful in Australia. Then the sponsor would be liable for all cost incurred for them to leave Australia. By including them on your visa application once it is granted all the employers obligations no longer exist. Sounds like he has not been informed very well. think it sounds like he does not want to pay the visa application changes to include them, but many people pay own visa application charge for PR employer sponsored visas.

This is not logical, there is no downside to putting your family on the visa and you would have to declare them anyway. Well the only downside is cost and you would just pay this yourself anyway. And you do need to get a wriggle on and make sure this is in before November.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't even need to know that you're including them on your application though I can't imagine why he would care one way or the other. It costs him nothing and, as others have said, it saves him the expense of repatriating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Senise Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If you're paying the VACs for your family out of your own pocket, your boss has NOTHING to do with it. Not the case unfortunately. Any secondary applicant included in the visa application must have also be included in the nomination application. The nomination application is lodged by the company, so they have the final say on who will be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
