Guest carlmm Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Dear PomsInOz friends, I have a query regarding work visa/ bridging visa. Please find below a summary of my profile before I mention my query. Currently a student in UNSW, Sydney pursuing Masters in Information systems. Its a 1 year course and student visa valid until March 2012. 5 years of work experience as a Computing professional (Systems Programmer) Age- 27 Applied for PR to Australia under subclass 175 in Sep 2010. Awaiting a CO and expecting the visa sometime in 2012 as the immi website says that it would take 18-24 months from the date of lodgment. I need a work visa for 2012 until I get my PR. Do I qualify for a Bridging visa? What are the other visa options I have in order to obtain rights to work in Australia. Thanks, Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 No.175 is offshore visa which do not come with any Bridging Visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MOTO Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I don't understand why would anyone waste a lot of money on 1 year course. Clearly, OP applied based on his previous qualifications & work experience. Moreover, 1 year course in itself (unless OP is planning on some further studies in AU) doesn't provide any route to PR. Thus, as it was rightly pointed out by sammi4u doesn't entitle you to any Bridging Visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
