AM86 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hi everyone, it might be a silly question but someone might still have the right answer: In October 2016 i have lodged a 187 visa and started working for my employer at the same time after signing a 2 yrs contract, ending in October 2018.I am still waiting for the decision ( while holding a Bridging visa A), but according to the current processing time it might take a whole year till the decision which means i will have worked for my employer for a year already and will have to work for one more after the grant till the end of the contract, But then I'll be in breach of the conditions that clearly ask for 2 years post grant... My question is: Will i have to work for one more year and what if my employer does not want to renew my contact after the 2 years? Any experiences or info will be much appreciated[emoji846] Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minh123 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hi AM86, you have to work at least 2 years from your PR granted. For example, if you get PR in 1st May 2017, you have to work until 1st May 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM86 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 I do understand that. However i started working October 2016 and signed a contact until October 2018. Provided I get the PR in October 2017 it will still be a year after the PR Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if you get PR in 1st May 2017, you have to work until 1st May 2019 In addition to this, the immigration is likely going to ask for the work contract to reflect this before granting the visa.

MaggieMay24 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 During both the nomination and visa application, you and your employer should have both indicated the commitment to continue the employment relationship for at least 2 years following the visa grant. So if your contract isn't for longer than 2 years, DIBP may ask you for a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just wait and see what DIBP will say once they open my file or maybe I should contact my agent and address this issue before they even touch my case!Thanks for ur help[emoji4]Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
