Hope to hear from someone! Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynne2007 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hi Stu, Funny you mention that cos we are going out on a 457 and i asked the question to someone who knows and they told me you can apply after 2 years, she emailed me a book with all the information you need on 457-PR do you want me to mail it to you? If so pm me you email address and i will send it on an attatchment as it tells you absolutely in detail everything you need to know, easier me doing that then i dont get it wrong.

We did the 457 for only 6 months then got sponsored residence through my company. There are two routes for sponsored residence: a) work for the (sponsoring) company for 2 years then go for PR b) have your skills assessed by the appropriate body and if you pass you can go for sponsored PR straight away. Check with the DIMIA website http://www.dimia.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/ens/eligibility-employee.htm if you want more info and criteria..

Welshtone Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Also Nursing assessment is onviously a formality as you would need to be registered in the State for the 457 visa. You can apply for a modified assessment with ANMC - only costs A$185. You can then be immediately sponsored for a permanent ENS visa or you can apply for 136 visa as soon as she has 12 months work experience as a nurse - she may have this already and can apply now. If you do apply for 136, you will have to leave Australia for a week to get the permanent visa approved and placed in your passports.
