457 sponsor transfer - 90 days timeframe and cancellation

[crazy8]

Hi,

 

Two questions.

 

1) Regarding a 457 sponsored visa and the 90 day period to find new work. Is it enough for a new employer to have lodged a 457 transfer request within the 90 day period or must the transfer request also have been approved within the 90 days?

 

2) Do DIBP issue a Notice of Intent to Consider Cancellation (NOICC) before cancelling a visa? Or only sometimes (in what circumstances)? Note, I currently have an application lodged for a Permanent Residency visa if that makes any difference.

 

Any advice much appreciated.

1- Needs to be approved to be able to work for the new sponsor, you MIGHT be able to convince the department not to cancel based on the submitted nomination

 

2- Depending on the cancellation power/reason they use
