SD_MOA Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hello Krisha, Ther are a number of Employer Sponsored Visa's - both Tempory (SC457) and Permanent (ENS & RSMS). All the visa's in this category require that you are sponsored by an Australian Company (actually the 457 does allow for Overseas Companies to be the sponsor as well). The first step in the process of applying for these visa's is securing a sponsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gollywobbler Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hi Krisha I believe you applied for a State Sponsored subclass 176 visa some time ago? When you and I exchanged posts last week you were about to chase the HOC to check whether your medicals have been cleared? Is everything still OK with your 176 application? Assuming that the sc 176 application is OK what some people in your position have found is that they find a job out in Oz and obviously the employer is unwilling to wait for several months whilst DIAC finish the processing and grant the sc 175 or 176 visa. The temporary subclass 457 visa can be a good way to get the person out to Oz pretty quickly in these circumstances: Temporary Business (Long Stay) - Standard Business Sponsorship (Subclass 457) Sponsoring a Temporary Overseas Employee to Australia However if you use this option do be aware that the whole family would need to leave Australia for a few days once your CO is ready to grant your 176 visa. Any of Auckland, Fiji, Singapore or Bali will do for this purpose (indeed, anwhere where there is a DIAC office will do as long as it is outside Australia.) Please do bear this in mind though because the cost of a short trip abroad has to be included in your calculations about whether the option is worth it.

Guest Gollywobbler Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hi Krisha What exactly do you do and whereabouts in Oz are you headed for? I believe you do "something with computers" but I know absolutely nothing about computers. Ignore the stuff about "must have a visa to work." Explain in the covering letter that you have applied for a visa which will give you Permanent Residency in Oz but you would need a temporary 457 visa in the meantime. A company which considers that your CV is better than the others will consider sponsoring you for a visa if need be. Remember too that only about 25% of jobs are ever advertised. Find all the companies who would be suitable for you and send your CV to all of them. Again, explain the visa situation in a covering e-mail. The following Agencies would be able to sponsor you for a 457 visa themselves: Workforce Solutions Bayside Group - Job Seekers - Working in Australia - Visa and Sponsorship InterStaff International Recruitment Hire A Migrant could not sponsor you themselves as far as I know but they might have a client who would be interested in doing so: About Hire A Migrant Jamie Smith, who runs Hire A Migrant, is not a migration agent but he is a member of the Migration Institute of Australia so he is certainly not put off by the idea that a good candidate might need a visa.

Guest Gollywobbler Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hi again Krisha Do not worry about the HOC for the moment. If you do not hear back from them by the end of the week then chase them again. If you have to do that then chase them via the on-line enquiry form and also via lcu.processing@immi.gov.au Best wishes Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
