samlab Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 If all goes to plan my husband, me and our two adult sons will have PR in the next 12 months. We also have an adult daughter who has a fiancé and my granddaughter in the UK. They want to join us in Australia. Reading other posts on here, I’m assuming Is the only way they will be able to join us is if they have a relevant skill to obtain a 457? Any other options? We are having to use a visa agent that is as much use as a chocolate fireguard so don’t want to ask them at this stage. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Perhaps i'm pointing out the obvious but you do know the 457 is not permenant visa in regards to your daughter and her family? Could she not get Pr with any skills on the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Are you sure the agent is really as useless as you say? The fact of the matter is, there are thousands of hard-working, well-qualified people who are NOT eligible to migrate to Australia. If their job is not on the list, it's not on the list and that's that. If your daughter and her fiancé don't qualify, they don't qualify. No agent can change that, no matter how good they are. We see people posting here all the time, unwilling to believe that can possibly be true - but it is. They might be able to get to Australia on a 457 if one of them has a relevant skill, but all that will give them is the right to work for a few years in Australia. They'll have to go home at the end of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agent we have to use is not the best but the company sponsoring my husband states we have to use them. I don’t want to ask them the question about my daughter yet as it might confuse the issue. Just wondered if anyone could give me some hope that my daughter maybe able to join us if or when we get PR. Hope that clarifies my question a bit better.

Neither of them have a relevant skill so we were hoping there was some other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Unfortunately as far i'm aware unless either has a skill on the list then no there's no other option. Good luck to you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 In order to obtain a 457, they still need an occupation on one of the lists and many occupations now also require a skills assessment for a 457 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
