Kezzles Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Hi everyone i have been been told by my employer that I need to find another job, they sponsored me in May 2015. My Aussie partner and I are planning to go down partner visa route. I've just started job search for another employer to transfer my 457 (best case scenario) My question is if I do get my 457 cancelled I would go to Bve which means no work rights. If I lose my job, lodge partner visa can I still search for another sponsor within 90 days or will lodging 820 visa cancel out trying to obtain new sponsor? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Northam Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Hi Kezzles - Lodging an 820/801 would not cancel out your 457 visa, however would be important to lodge the 820/801 application while still holding a valid 457 to avoid Schedule 3 issues. Assuming you did that and later after the 820/801 was lodged DIBP cancelled your 457, it would also automatically cancel the BVA you would have from the 820/801 lodgment leaving you with no visa, however you can then go to DIBP and get a BVE to remain in Australia until a decision on the 820/801. If you are holding 457 and granted 820, the 820 will replace the 457 and your sponsorship work restriction (condition 8107) would end upon grant of the 820. Hope this helps - Best, Mark Northam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Northam Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Hi Kezzles - No, but once on BVE if it is not issued with work rights you can make an application to add work rights to the BVE, depending on your circumstances.
