Hi...it's a long shot, but you sound like you might be in simular trade to my OH...do you come under the flat glass tradesperson????? (4982-11)

I usually get this wrong, but we are going in on a 457 sponsor visa, and therefore DO NOT require a skills assessment, are you sure you've got the right visa,cos I'm pretty sure if you have a sponsor you don't require the skills assessment????

PLEASE someone tell him if I've got it wrong.......again.

michell

no you havent got it wrong, you dont need a skills assesment on a 457 but you will need a skill assesment if you go for PR visa on a ENS .

Hi Michell,

But you can still go for PR after doing 2 years on a temp 457 without getting your skills assessed??? From what we have been told (or led to believe) is that after serving 2 years on the 457 we can apply for PR, as it stands at the moment we cannot get Skills assessed as pathway D is on hold (OH has no formal quals just 25 years experience). Do you know if this is correct??

nevsy

In a way I do fall under flat glass trades person but the job offered is a supervisory one could I nominate it and still operate as a supervisor.The job is not in a regional area so no concessions will be given and a skills assessment is required

nevsy

AS my sponsor is not in a region I will need to take a skills assessment still confused cos I am:confuse d:

michell

Yes this is correct, but if you went for PR before the 2yrs but after a minimum of 12mths you need to have your skills assesed, our company have agreed they will do the ENS for us after 12mths if we want to do, but before the 2 yrs is up. My hubby is a fire alarm tech and his job is not on the list but when we get there the comapny is going to get him his electrical lisence sorted , we are going to wait and see how we feel after the 12mths to see if the company think he will pass the skills assesment if they feel that hubby will then we will go for it then , if not or the visa's change e.g they bring in something to replace pathway d then we will see what we decide then.

pheeeew, thought we had been given wrong advice, but seems not. We are in simular position, at worst we wait 2 years then apply for PR, if something comes up before then with regards pathway D, we will go for whichever gives us the PR soonest. When did you get sponsor, when you going???

michell

now you have got me, my understanding is that the company have to be in a particular postcode(area) to sponsor you if they are not then they cannot sponsor anybody.

We got verball job offer in april, got firm written job offer last week and the t&c for the employment, they are hoping it will be all done in 8 weeks or so, luckily the company have put down ,commencement of employment as TBA (to be arranged) so we have no definate time we have to be there which is lucky really as we are selling the house. We are going to sydney by the way how about you?


michell

nevsy

No I think your might be mistaken any company can sponsor so long as they are legally operating for more than 2 yrs employ more than 10 people and register for sponsorship and pass the DIAC checks.

But then again I could be wrong

Just hope some one can nominate my skill base as I getting really frustrated
