advice needed

[Guest dlooneyz]

Hi. I have a burning migration agent.. would be grateful if anyone can help me out here.

 

First of all, my boyfriend is studyin master of architecture.suppose to pass in dec but he failed. they r givin him a remark scheduled on 24th january.

 

We are getting married on 1st january 2011.

 

his student visa expires in march. if he successfully graduatesin march, i will be applying under his visa 885 as a secondaRY APPLICANT.

 

however, if he still fails after the remark, he will need to renew his visa and apply for 885when he grads in june.

 

i am currently on a student visa with my course commemcing in jan 25 2011.

 

however, i got an intern job offer as a pharmacist intern. hence im elligible for occupational trainee visa and my boss is willing to take me in anytime i can geta valid visa wic enables me to work full time.this means dat i cn easily ditch my planned studies and figure out a way to get a valud working visa.

 

i have researched a bit and there r 2 ops :

1.apply under my bf current visa (expires in march ) possible?

renew together w him if he fails and apply together w him in

june for885

2. apply for an occupational trainee visa for a yr and ltr in

june transfer and apply under my bf for 885

 

my bf part time employer s willing to sponsor him too if in july he doesnt meet the new pt system marks.

 

question : wat shld i do? i wanna start my intern asap n im willing to withdraw fr my studies..

 

advice pls!

Hello Dlooneyz

 

I think it is better for u to apply for an Occup. Training Visa (442) if your sponsor is willing to help u because this visa is more stable than a Student Visa.

He can also apply as a secondary applicant later if he failed in his study.

I hope this answer may help u.

 

By the way I have a question for u if u wouldn't mind :smile:

I am a pharmacist also and I have passed the assessment exam but can't lodge a PR Visa because they have removed the pharmacists from the SOL. In addition, I couldn't apply for any state sponsorship as most of them don't accept my Occupational English Test results (although DIAC accepts it and will give me 25 points for that!) and I have only 3 years experience.

What do u think about my options now? Student Visa like u, or seek sponsorship while I'm here in my country, or wait for a new SOL?

 

Actually I need to go to Oz as soon as possible.

If anyone has any information or can help please tell me.

Dlooney, that is quite a complicated story and there are a lot of ifs and maybes for example around your OH passing his course etc. As such I would recommend you consult a migration agent to help you work through these options.

 

With regards to the occupational trainee, are you sure you are eligible for this or rather are you sure your employer is eligible to sponsor under it. This is not a common visa and the requirements look quite stringent. Also you should be aware that applicants should have genuine intentions of this being a temporary stay, which clearly you do not.
