176 Visa - What to do if you can't find employment or can't settle

Hello,

 

We are looking at a 176 or 175 visa for our migration and while we know the 176 is quicker we are concerned about what would happen if after moving we can't find employment or can't settle as a family and want to move to a different region. I know that we have to make a 2 year commitment which we are more than happy to do, but if the worse case scenario happens and we're not happy what do we do. As we all know it's a hard enough decision to move away from work, family and friends, but we don't want this to be made harder if we can't settle and can't move.

 

We would welcome guidance from anyone that has come up against this and how it resolved itself.

 

Thanks so much.

when I first came on here it was great to post a query that was worrying me or I needed info on. It would demean the forum if questions where blocked because they have been asked previously and also the forum would soon grind to a halt. Remember some people use this forum to help with their visa applications and then only visit occasionally and when you consider how many people want to move to Oz new members will always be on here and they will not be aware that their queries have been raised previously. Be considerate.

Funny it's all kicking off with no mention of the "usual" debate :biglaugh:

 

Anyway back to topic.........

 

In that case I'd personally suggest contacting your sponsoring state for assistance and advice.

I'm sure they would help if possible and if unable to I'm sure they would release you from your agreement to try another state rather than have you rely on benefits etc..:wink:

TBH Chardy, I personally couldn't care less about people abusing the loop hole that is currently in the 176 visa system. After all it is human nature.

 

"You should see me when I drive right up to the merge in turn signs on motorways roadworks, cos I ain't waiting in a single file queue." :biggrin:

Well as we know the DIAC monitor all these sites so with people continually talking about 'Loopholes' they might actually close them.

 

So your the kind of guy who Kills road workers cos you can't be bothered to wait in a queue for 5 mins. :ssign10::ssign1:

 

 

Take a look at yourself.

No jimithechew, I merge in turn rather than contribute to a mile long single line, I drive responsibly and at the correct speed. It's just for some reason in the UK there is an unwritten rule that you have to create a single file whenever there is road works, rather two/three lanes merging in turn (like the signs and the highway code state).

 

It is funny though when you see people getting agitated and determined to not allow the car to pass in front.

"Merging" is referring to joining the moving queue not hammering up to the very last inch and forcing your way in. How often do you actually see "merge in turn" signs any way ?? The rare occasions these signs have been in place everyone seems to behave better. I believe the Highway code also has mentions of driving considerably with regard to other road users not with agression.

I guess you're the tailgating, almost red light jumper too.......................hate to see your fuel bill ! :twitcy:

 

Hopefully the OP has got the info and can make their own decision now so let's close this topic or move driving skills (or lack of them in your case) to Chewing the Fat) :tongue:

Chardy, I would be grateful if you could highlight any particular points I have made with regards to tail-gating or aggressive driving.

 

The point of my post was to highlight that there are opportunists in the world and no matter what you do there will always be those who sieze the moment and be pro-active or those who will abide by all rules (although technically my point about driving is abiding within the highway code) and watch the world drift by. This in turn refers to my pun about the word 'lead'.

 

Anyway back to the point, (as it has yet to be asked today).

 

Q: If I achieve a state 176 sponsorship, do I have to commit for two years to that state or can I move to another state if I have better job prospects/family/friends/don't like it/had no intention of being there?

If you have no realistic alternativeother than to try another state or leave australia, you should approach the sponsoring state and request that you are released from your 2 year obligation. You should provide detailed reasons and evidence showing your efforts to find work (and how they were unsuccessful). Once they reply in writing releasing you, then you can go to another state... if you don't do it this way you are opening yourself up to the wrath of the DIAC who won't look favourably on people abusing the system.

 

I expect that 176 visas will have a legal obligation attached to them in future that you MUST stay in your sponsoring state for 2 years or your visa will be cancelled... thanks to all the chancers abusing the system.

 

Sad.

I'm sorry as I'm new to this I didn't realise I would be opening up a whole debate with such strong views and opinions being raised. I'm not trying to circumvent any system, just wanted to know what would happen, but with the strong opinions being pointed out I feel that the 175 would be the right option. It's now back to the drawing board and giving my wife a free reign on where to find a house for our budget of $1.5 million. Next thing I know we'll be in a flat in Sydney against my dream of a lovely house in WA.

 

Thanks again for all the comments - interesting reading...
