morrisinoz11 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Hi, Our 457 is due to expire towards the end of the year. Our dilemma is that my employer can't support an application to get our PR, as he has had to wind the company up. This means that iam currently working for an other employer working in a different industry. (I have to support wife and 4 kids) I have been to an immigration Lawyer to dicuss our options and she said that as my wife and I are both 48 we won't be able to get PR if we are to get onto another 457. We are desperate for any options or suggestions. Even if we could stay for 1 more year, as our eldest son will graduate from high school next December.

Marisawright Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Since you are over 45, the door has closed for you, I'm afraid. Your only option to stay for another year is to get another temp visa (they're called TSS now, not 457). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 If I am reading your post right, you are working for an employer who isn't your sponsor? If so, this is a fairly serious breach of your visa conditions, which is likely to be discovered at the ATO is now linked with immigration. That will result in some fairly serious concequences 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending when your current 457 was applied for, you may fall under transitional arrangements and have until you turn 50 to apply for PR under the subclass 186.

You could apply for a new 482 visa sponsored by a new employer. There is no age limit on this visa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
