Jason Martin Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi, I have my application in for PR (from a 457) for five and a half months. I have just had an interview where my employer has said that they are withdrawing their support. Where do I stand after all of this time? Any help would be gratefully received.

srh82 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Immigration should have issued you with a bridging visa when you applied for the 189 visa. Did this happen? If so, you should be fine provided your 189 is granted. Hopefully you have done all the necessary due diligence on that and had your skill assessment positively assessed and your other points for the application fully accounted for with ample evidence to back everything up, all certified as necessary. If you have all that, you are good. If you have any element of doubt, you should see a migration agent (MARA affiliated) ASAP so your application can be reviewed.

rammygirl Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 What PR visa did you apply for ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Martin Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Many thanks for your response. Although Immigration gave me a bridging visa, my 457 takes priority as it still has 1.5 years to run. I didn't have to take a skills test as I am not here carrying out my primary trade. I won't be able to contact my Mara agent until Monday so I am panicking that I have just lost several thousand dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Martin Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 I applied for a 189 employer sponsored visa sorry I got it wrong I have applied for a 187rsms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srh82 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 189 visas are skilled independent, and not employer sponsored. Are you sure it's a 189 visa? If if its an employer sponsored PR visa and your employer is withdrawing their support for that, then that is an entirely different question!

MaggieMay24 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Has your employer said why they are withdrawing their support? Has the nomination been approved already? I'm not sure if this would be something to speak about with an employment lawyer as it perhaps is a breach of contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Martin Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi, the nomination was approved last Sep, I am just waiting to be granted PR. Yes, I do know why they said that They are removing their support and it is something that I could take further but it not something that I wish to make public at this stage. They haven't fired me and are continuing my 457 sponsorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 You still have not clarified which visa you applied for. I am now assuming it was a 186 ENS. I think you need to take some advice from an independent MARA agent, not the one the employer used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Martin Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi, I am trying to get a 187 rsms. I've had an email from my Mara agent whom says there is a solution. It just seems odd to me that my employer can withdraw their sponsorship but still keep me employed on a 457. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi, I am trying to get a 187 rsms. I've had an email from my Mara agent whom says there is a solution. It just seems odd to me that my employer can withdraw their sponsorship but still keep me employed on a 457. It's a whole other visa, so totally possible. Your best bet is to convince them to change their mind I would think. Did you have a contract written up about the sponsorship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Martin Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 I don't think that they would change their minds at this stage. I will have to wait for my Mara agent to do what he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
