Re: Over it...

Quick update for anyone interested. Looks like this has been the most bizarre week.

In the same week that our ENS has been referred to Canberra, we were also granted a CO for our original 175...

Re: August 2008 Applications

Not too sure about Canberra - a large proportion of the work there is government ad a significant amount of that will require citizenship

Re: August 2008 Applications

Do you have job to go to ? Which state are you sponsored by ?

Re: August 2008 Applications

Hi All,

This thread hasn't been updated for a while ;)

Re: Over it...

But is sufficient for a 60 point Class B ACS skills assessment ?

Re: ENS Visa (121/856) Current Timescales (Part 2.....)

I'm a latecomer to this thread, sadly not a latecomer to the whole visa fiasco.

Originally moved to Sydney on a 457 back in February 2006. Applied independently for PR (175) in August 2008, when...

Re: 457 to PR

Not sure if this may help, but our story is reasonably similar to your situation.

Moved out here in 2006 on a 457. Applied for the 175 in Aug 2008, and changed employers (and a new 457) in May...

Re: August 2008 Applications

Not sure what it means for you - but I do feel a lot of sympathy for the guys such as yourself who are stuck for another three years at least.

Things have progressed for me since my post further...

Re: August 2008 Applications

Nope - some of us are non CSL and are rapidly losing interest.

The incredibly annoying thing is, that we've already here for 3 years, and as we have applied for PR have lost our LAFHA. That means...

Re: Changing ACSO code after 175 submitted?

Re: 175 none CSL applicants

We can be added to the non CSL, PR list

Currently in Sydney on a 457, and 175 PR applied for in Aug 08. We thought that would give us plenty of time to sort the PR before our daughter started...
