linshorton Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 My husband is the visa holder but the work has run out 1/2 way through the second visa. This is the second 457 visa so have been so lucky to have been here for this long. Due to our age we can not apply for PR. I have flights booked to visit my frail mother in NZ at Xmas so this termination will have an impact on that trip plus we love living in Australia. I have been working for the same job for the last 5 years but don't think I can be sponsored as I am now a casual (hospital scientist). Reading around we've read we have 90 days or ? 60 days but not sure if he can still be employed and paid for some of this time. Not sure what the employers obligations are. Only just found out so still in shock. Would be grateful for any info...thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 You have 60 days to leave from when the visa is cancelled. However, that can take some time. The company are required to pay for your flights home. In order for you to be sponsored, your company would need to offer you a permanent full time role. You can continue working.

Samson Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 If he can find another sponsor, Its slightly easier to transfer the visa over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linshorton Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thanks for the info. His company are unaware of the rules despite being an international company! Hopefully this delay will give us a couple of months more to either find another job or make the most of what we have already planned to do.Sent from my iPad using PomsinOz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using PomsinOz I does not matter if the company knows the rules or not. Your husband has a work limitation condition (60 or 90 days, depending when his visa was granted) which is his responsibility to abide by. If he stops working for his sponsor for more than this time, you will face visa cancellation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
