Change in nominated occupation after visa is granted.

[Guest chaitali]

Hello,

 

I applied for 485 visa with Life scientist as my occupation. I was granted this visa based on Life scientist. Now I want to change my occupation to a Chemist to apply for 886- State sponsored visa.

 

Is it possible to change the occupation? Can I get Vetassess to provide me an assessment of my qualification based on the new occupation. (I have already got my qualification assessed as a life scientist from Vetassess).

Please help!!

 

Thank you

You would definitely need a new skills assessment, but I can't see anything that would prevent you from changing your nominated occupation as long as you nominate an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) that is relevant to the skills and qualifications you gained in Australia.

Skilled – Sponsored (Residence) visa (subclass 886)
