Guest rdean Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi all, Couple of quick questions, hope someone can help. I'm in Oz on a 417 visa which runs out soon, but I've just started a job at a company who are sponsoring me for a 457 visa. I'm going through the online application process now and hope to finalise and submit the application before Christmas. A couple of questions: 1. I'm doubtful that this is going to be processed before the 417 visa expires. Is it possible to bridge from a 417 onto a 457 if applying in the country? If so how would I do this, is it part of the online application or a separate process? 2. Reading through the documentation for the 457 it seems I have to provide evidence of previous proof of employment and other paperwork which has been signed by a solicitor/JP. Before starting the 457 process I'd done the groundwork for a PR application which included gaining a skills assessment from the ACS. Does anyone know if I can submit this skills assessment instead of collecting together all of this paperwork again? Many thanks in advance for your help/advice Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
