Re: And now what?
I would think that you are in a better position finding sponsorship whilst in Australia that if you go back to the UK. I suggest you consult a migration agent as I understand that DIAC can be kind on the 28 days thing. Then put all your efforts into getting a new sponsor, even if its a job you don't fancy long term. Then, if you are able to gain PR on your own merits, make the application. At least that way you will be in employment while your visa is processing.
Hope you manage to sort it out and stay. Ren |
Re: And now what?
I would also add to the above, that I believe a new employer can "take over" your 457 visa. I am not sure how this works in practice, but I mention it because it would probably be an easier sell to a potential employer i.e. you tell them they would "just" be taking over a visa rather than applying for a brand new one from scratch.
I trust you are looking into the legalities of your employer's actions? The same employment laws apply to you as they do everyone else regardless of what type of visa you have. Hope things work out for you. |

Syedney, I hope things work out for you - as far as I remember, the 28 days only starts once DIAC formally notify you of their intention to cancel your visa, but I'd use this time to contact a migration agent and discuss any options you have. DIAC can also extend the time period to leave the country, but what circumstances this comes under I have no idea. Good luck x x |

Unfortunately not - a new employer would sponsor you on a new 457.

Not since 14th September 2009. Only the nomination part of the process needs to be repeated.

It might help Sydeney persuade somebody to take him on if they think there is less paperwork and waiting around.
http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1066.pdf On this note, I saw George Lombard and he has confirmed that I can just get any new employer to take over my visa. No need to repeat the whole visa application process...What a relief!! :thumbsup: Thanks for everyone for all your support...Has been awsome in keeping gme going:thumbup: Been applying for IT many jobs and just waiting...Waiting...Waiting... Ah, God...The wait is a killer...:thumbdown: |

http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1066.pdf Least we're PR now and don't have to worry about such things. The good luck bit still applies to you, Syedney, I hope your wait isn't too long x |

This is my update after 20 months here in Sydney - Northern Beaches. In the beginning, for those who have read my last update: http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=592504 will know that I wasn't originally happy here. But a lot has happened since. My daughter now has an Aussie twang and my other half loves it here soooooo much...But sadly today the company has decided to end my sponsorship!!:frown: A bunch of excuses, and reciting my one warning given 4 months ago, they decided to remove me!! I didn't even get any 2nd warning! Can they do this? who knows! maybe someone here! Anyways, this is going to be really tough to break it to my daughter who is 11 and loves everyone at her school... I feel really really down...:(:(:( I want to get another job and stay here but it's such a short time 28 days!!:eek: Please let me have your stories...Someone give me some hope:fingerscrossed: Ok seriously its only when I say water. Anyhoo he's got a job interview tomorrow for a mojor-international company! and we'll see who is first to post about if he gets the job! the race is on! xo Luv ya daddy |
