AusExpat Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Confused - thought you were on BV now not your 457? If your 457 hasn't expired yet you have nothing to worry about. But yes - would be far easier if it was just agreed!! Sorry, I am confusing myself!!!!!!!!! You're actually right, since I am on a BV I shouldn't care about my 457 as it has expired. Unless being on a BV because of an expired 457 or being on a BV whilst waiting to be added to my partner's 457 changes something in regards to working rights. MMMeeeeh hopefully he will be able to postpone the acceptance of the contract, or they will wait (he will have to give 4 weeks notice anyway, in 4 weeks from now the 186 should be through!) We'll see what happens, thank you all for your advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do not have a birth certificate and are unable to get one, you must provide a certified copy of the identification pages of at least one of the following documents: family book showing both parents’ names identification document issued by the government court-issued documents that verify your identity. [*]If you are unable to provide one of the above documents, you must provide other acceptable evidence that you are who you claim to be.

[h=2]Direct Entry Stream[/h]Provide these documents only if you are applying for this visa through the Direct Entry stream. You must provide a skills assessment with your application. A skills assessment provided after you have applied for your visa cannot be accepted. Some skills assessments are issued for the purpose of a subclass 485 visa.

[h=3]Skills and qualifications (must hold at time of application)[/h] Evidence that your skills have been assessed as suitable by the relevant assessing authority for your occupation and this assessment was not obtained for the purposes of a subclass 485 visa as these types of skills assessments are not considered full skills assessments for permanent skilled migration purposes.

You are an academic employed at academic level A, B, C, D or E by a university in Australia. You are someone who will be earning at, or above, the top individual income tax rate as determined by the Australian Taxation Office. [*]If you are a New Zealand citizen or a dependant of a New Zealand citizen, have been in Australia as the holder of a Special Category visa (subclass 444) or a New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship visa (subclass 461) and have been working with your nominator for a period of at least two years before applying: a detailed statement from the employer declaring that you have worked for them for at least two years (the letter should cover employment period, details of paid leave taken, details of unpaid leave taken, details of any overseas trips for training or work) evidence of tax assessment notices for the two-year period PAYG payment summaries for the period of employment pay slips extracts of leave records.

You have achieved a score of at least 'B' in each of the four test components of an Occupational English Test (OET) that has been undertaken in the three years immediately prior to lodging the visa application. You have achieved the following minimum test scores in each of the four test components: 12 for listening, 13 for reading, 21 for writing and 18 for speaking, in a Test of English as a Foreign Language internet-based test (TOEFL iBT) test that has been undertaken in the three years immediately prior to lodging the visa application.
