Mom on 457 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The recent 457 changes gives me confusions to how my plans for permanent residency for my family can be realized. Been working on 457 visa for 6 months. Is there a way I can apply for PR before March 2018 since by then, more of the changes will be implemented on the pathways available? My skill is in the caviat list related to farming in regional australia and under a labour agreement. Is it already feasible to talk with my employer about ENS or RSMS pathway given I only have worked for 6 months still and have the application started?

rammygirl Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 You can apply for PR as soon as you wish, as long as you are eligible. If your employer is willing and also eligible then no need to wait. Have you also looked at 189 and 190 visas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom on 457 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Thank you for the response. I am under the labour agreement (Pork Industry). My co workers said i need to wait for my 4 years (also the length of my contract) before I can apply for permanent residency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you are sponsored under a labour agreement, in most cases the terms for sponsorship to Permanent residency will be dictated by the terms of the Labour Agreement.

l33tshane Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'm in the same situation as the poster here. Been on a 4 year long 457 for around 9 months. To go to PR do I need my employer to pay for it, or is it something I can do by myself and just get them to ok it? My employer already paid for my 457 and have me for 4 years, so I don't think there's much incentive for them to pay more cash just to move me to PR.

MaggieMay24 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 There's no requirement that your employer pays for anything as far as the 186/187 visa goes, however they do need to complete the nomination and meet the criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
