Sydneytina Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I need some help. Some agent is promising a work sponsored visa for my brother. He has sent a visa to us and says we are going to get a similar one. The visa is class TE Temporary Tourist Sub class 456 Conditions MIG. REGS.SCHED.8 8111 work permited 8201 Max 2 years 8456 Apply to ministry affairs It aslo says holder permitted to work remain in Australia for two years from date of arrival. Can someone please explain me the conditions in the visa. As far as I know work sponsored visa is 457. What category of visa is 456? On immi website I found 456 is short stay business visitor visa but it is just for 3 months and it is not a work visa. I am confused. I think we are about to fall in some migration fraud trap. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Laura G Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hi The conditions that you mention are not correct 456 is a visa that would be granted to someone who is considering business interests in Australia and needs to do some research It has a no work condition 8112 on this visa and you are usually only allowed to stay for visits of up to 3 months at anytime during the life of the visa.

Please help. Seems a bit strange. · A subclass 456 is a class UC not TE; · A class TE is a subclass 411/416/420/421/423/428; · Subclass 456 visas have condition 8112 not 8111 imposed; · They can be granted for 2 years multiple entry but each stay can be no longer than 3 months; · Condition 8201 has nothing to do with 2 years; · Condition 8456 does not exist; The information you found on a 456 visa is correct.

Sydneytina Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Thanks Laura and ABA for your reply. Even I found it strange and was confused. I am attaching a copy of the visa that was sent to us by the agent stating that we'll get a similar one. Please give your input though it seems a fraud to me.

This does'nt seems to be the kind it usually is ... but still who knows. Why dont you try putting in your brother's personal details in VEVO and check if he actually got any Visa or not ? I am not sure if it works for Temporary Visa or not it certainly do with PR visas. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please help. Report the agent to the DIAC, or if the agent is registered (most unlikely) report to the OMARA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheStig Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Why dont you bring it down to the nearest DIAC center and get it straight from the horse's mouth. Can't go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you attend a DIAC office you will be talking to the wrong end of the horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydneytina Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Thank you all for your replies. Now I am sure this is a fake document and that agent is up for a fraud.
