wannabee Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hi allWould like to raise the question concerning so many job offers, but so few 457 sponsors.Almost all of the applications online request that the applicant must be living in Oz,but how do we apply from over here in SA? The current state of approval for PR can take from 9 months to 2 years in which time we loose a lot of time in getting to Oz and settling in. As it is we are still awaiting response for our application for 457 which was put on hold in 2006 due to descrepency between DIMIA and our then Sponsor.Any info would be appreciatedthanxJacques and Nita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesV Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 A lot of it depends on the job you are applying for and your qualifications, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilo Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hi WannabeeYou guys have had a lot of experience in the "waiting game" and I am sure you have done lots of research allready. Now my take on things are ...........1. Get the PR going i.e. paperwork etc etc etc2. Once submitted start searching for work on a Temp Visa, remember to take into account the time frame of your PR as you don't want the Temp to nul and void the PR3. Apply for any suitable job, even if they say you have to be resident in Aus. We got work on a temp visa 8 months before our PR was granted and it was a Godsend!Good luckNilo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
