stevemac Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hi I've been living in OZ for nearly a year now as a de factor partner on my girlfriend's 457. I have been employed in a skilled profession for 11 months of that time. I would like to go for a PR visa and am wondering what options I have. As I understand there is a 186 visa with a transitional stream (work for 2 years in Oz). Would I be eligable for this one? are there any other options worth considering? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a direct entry stream for the 186 visa but this would require a skills assessment and it is either two or three years experience in the occupation. Perhaps 186 sponosrhsip is a possibility for your partner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
