Guest stue116 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hi We used GO MATILDA, we found them great, although they have offices in uk our agent was in Oz, but always returned our emails, calls etc as soon as poss. After 2 c**p agents they were a god send and we could always call the uk office if we needed to know something urgently. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gollywobbler Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hi debs67 Your problem is tricky. In your earlier thread you have said: we are back in the uk (1yr) having lived in qld for near 2yrs it was my chioce to come back ,son & oh loved it there,we were on a 495 visa which exspired this april,we made a awful mistake in coming back,can anyone give us advice if there is a way we can get back into oz. Oh is a joiner by trade thanks debs and oh is 47 this yr and we left 3days b4 the 2yrs, I suspect there would be a whole raft of legal problems involved. The question is whether there is any way to get you a subclass 487 visa given that: 1. You are no longer in Australia; and 2. Your original subclass 495 visa has now expired. I would not like to hazard a guess as to the answer because a guess is all that it would be. If the answer is "no", I note that OH is now 47. Would his old boss be willing to sponsor him for a visa? I suspect that that is probably going to be the most do-able option provided that you can find an employer who is both willing to sponsor OH and is eligible to do so. Visa Options - Employer Sponsored Workers - Workers - Visas & Immigration Employer Sponsored Migration Booklet - Australian Immigration http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/booklets/1154.pdf What work was OH doing during his almost 2 years in Oz, please? Was he working as a joiner? If not, what was he doing? What work has he been doing since you came back? Whereabouts in QLD were you living, please? I am wondering whether your most likely contacts are based in the regional or the non regional parts of the State? Best wishes Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welshtone Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 This will be no help to Deb, but for the benefit of any others in a similar position, it is possible to get an extension of the old 495 viisas and the replacement 475 visas. To do this, you must be inside Australia on the 495/475 visa and a one-off extension can be given up to the date 4 years from when the initial SIR visa was granted. This extension may be a short period if you did not travel soon after being granted the visa and may not be enough time to obtain the 2 years of residence etc. So, unfortunately for Deb, she would have had to travel to Australia in April at the latest, before the visa expired and then immediately apply for the extension. Only an ENS or RSMS, or a 457 leading to one of them, will help her now it would seem. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
