Questions on 457 Visa

[Stuart]

Good Morning Everyone !!! ;

I have been doing research and looking at ways in applying for work in Australia. Time is not of the essence and I was initially thinking of applying for PR status and then making the move.

I have recently found the website 'Freespirit.AU' which assists in the application and job placement process in Australia.

Has anyone made use of their services before ?.

How easy would it be to apply for PR status once in Australia on a 457 Visa ?

Any advise / information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

It is fairly easy to apply for PR once here on a 457. Most commonly your employer might sponsor you for PR also since he has already acted a ssponsor for the 457 ( if he still wants you ). One such scheme is the RSMS scheme and I am in the final stages of being sponsored by my employer under this scheme. There are aslo other options available, but the fact that you are already here on a 457 helps alot.

I have not heard of the service you mention, perhaps someone else might be able to help with that.
