Options for becoming a PR

pong

@Cassey,hi madam perhaps u have an idea about my question.

My wife's studies wil be completed this june and we'll definitely go for graduate visa first to extend our stay in australia but while waiting for graduate visa result which takes 2-3 months was thinking to apply for pr application at the same time.

would there be any issue/conflict in visas if we do that?

Or just wait for the graduate visa approval first before we apply for pr?

Thanks for you reply in advance

@pong It should be fine to apply for PR while on 485. That's what some of our friends did. What you need to prioritise is how you are going to stay here in Australia. After her graduation, she might need to wait for few weeks to receive her Uni qualification and she might need to undergo skills assessment for her PR application and You can't just apply for PR because you still need to apply through skill select and wait to be invited before you can lodge a PR Visa application.

@Cassey Hi again, is it advisable to enter Oz through TAFE courses? This will be under student visa? My friend suggested this one. She's thinking we may be able to apply jobs suited to our profession while we are waiting for our invitations.

Cassey

@clzap You can apply for student visa however you're only allowed to work 40hrs/fortnight. If your education qualification overseas is recognized here in Australia, then you can work here in your chosen field. It would all depend on your purpose and your finances as well.

@Cassey yes, my bachelor's degree is recognized in Australia. I'm considering on pursuing the CA path which I have yet to receive a feedback to the subjects that I must complete. Thanks Cassey!

@clzap Good on you, all the best! 🙂

<b class="Bold">Eligible qualifications</b>

For the purposes of applying for a subclass 485 under the Graduate Work stream, the course/courses must have resulted in a degree, diploma or trade qualification. For example, a student may complete two consecutive Diploma level courses and satisfy the Australian study requirement under the Graduate Work stream, provided the other components of the requirement are satisfied.
