457 change of employer query
Can anyone advise me please. I was made redundant late Feb on 457. I am hoping to get a new offer tomorrow, can I work for the new employer whilst the 457 application is pending? thanks!

You cannot work for a new employer while their SBS approval/ visa nomination is pending. You must wait until the visa nomination has been approved and your visa sponsorship has been transferred to the new employer.

Didn't you only have 30 days to find a new employer if on a 457 visa?
