I am in student visa but I found a job that is ready to sponsor

Malu

I am in a student visa and I found a full time job is it possible for me to apply for a working visa and recall my enrollment this coming 2nd semester? or any other options po? Thanks!

julypearl

Wow, good for you! I guess you have to ask your agent about it. It's best to have the work visa kase if on student visa part time ka lang pwede. Btw, what ask ano field ka nakahanap ng work?

Malu

@julypearl Thanks for your reply 🙂 I used to work in IT.

julypearl

@Malu Did you get a job in IT industry also in Aus?

Malu

@julypearl yeah. The same industry where I used to work back in PH.

@Malu hi, i think you still need to follow your visa conditions until your working visa has been granted, meaning you still need to enroll and follow the working hours. If you can engage an agent, they might have other option. I have read somewhere that their agent have cancelled their student visa and applied a bridging visa that entitles them to work. Not sure how this one works, but a MARA agent will guide you with the process.

Malu

@agentKams Thank you for your reply 🙂 I'll check about this. Actually I am having a hard time to decide what to do on this. But I read somewhere that I should follow my student visa then wait for the working visa... I'll be finishing in 6 months time so maybe it will be timely.

@Malu hello po..

@Malu from my agent's words, it will take 18 - 24 months to process yung company sponsored visa. We have same situation, pero mas pinili ko nlang na ako mismo magprocess ng 489 after my studies para wala rin "utang na loob" afterwards. Good luck sa visa mo.

@cassandra2019 You may want to check this out for some info on how your employer can become a visa sponsor... medyo mahaba kaya post ko na lang link.

https://www.workvisalawyers.com.au/services/employer-sponsored-visas/tss-482-visa.html

Key points are:

employer must be an approved business sponsor
occupation must be in the skilled occupation list
fulfill Labour Market Testing (LMT) - This requires the business to test local labour markets to demonstrate effort to recruit local workers before deciding to sponsor an overseas worker for the required position.
need English exam unless exempted
