Be interesting though! And we give up being popular when we become Mods - they just don't tell us till after we have signed the binding contract in blood.

Mrs OH has been more fortunate, the 457 should IMO be obliterated

Did you apply for PR or was it sponsored?

Thanks, its the feeling of someone else having the control on a 457 isn't it?

At least with PR you call the shots

Yes...I hated that aspect too..

You have to be there a week
And your CO will inform when she is nearly ready to grant visa...and will say you can book flights etc - you have to send all details of flight and hotel etc ...then go...once there you need to make sure you have internet access...as they email when you can go to Consulate to get Visa.

You can go anywhere...as long as you get off Aus soil.
