They are currently looking into the sponsorship now as I'd be the first. He said the company is doing very well and not many are as specialised as me or the ones that are are near to retirement.

If We don't end up getting permanent residency then at least we can come back with an experience. you only live once. YOLO

He also said the kids have their PE lessons on the beach and have surfing lessons. Sounds better than the cross country I got to do
Good stuff. Don't let the knockers dent your dreams.

Given the big changes to the 457 today, I would suggest that both you and your sponsor run things past registered agents to make sure that everything goes smoothly.

It is tied to the employer, so, if you were to lose the job for any reason you would have 60 days to find another company willing and able to sponsor or leave the country - not many company's can not sponsor.

There are a range of other issues such as many states including WA charge for eduction for any children on temporary visas
This.

I wouldn't trust employers for sponsorships/457s. There's no guarantee at the end, and you could wind up completely shafted like we've been. Even more so, now that my husband's job has been removed in Dutton & Turnbull's latest crusade to prove who can be the biggest a**ehole.

Thank you.

Even trying to look objectively at it, it just seems like the UK, US, and Australia are in a race to the bottom. Our own situation aside, my heart breaks for people who have suddenly found themselves without any options. It's incredibly painful, and the people inflicting it just don't care.
