drstu Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hi All, particularly any migration agents out there. I am a doctor (GP). We’ve been here just over 2 years on a 457 visa which was sponsored by the practice I am still working at. We’re lookimg to apply now for business sponsored PR via the 186 visa route. There has been some suggestion that to do this I would have to become an employee of the practice rather than the current arrangement, where I am an independent contractor? Is this the case?

rammygirl Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Thought you had to be an employee for the 457. Have you looked at applying independently on a 189? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 You should be an employee already. If not, you may be in breach of the visa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Was your 457 through a labour agreement? (since AFAIK you would need to be an employee of the practice if not). I think you'd need to speak with a migration agent as I don't see much information posted about labour agreement processes so I assume they're not as common.
