There are many ways to immigrate to Australia, no matter what the circumstances, since you decide to immigrate to Australia, you must work hard to create conditions to get closer to your goal.
What Australian immigration lawyers are sharing with you today is a case of an approved visa from skilled migration to employer-sponsored visa.
Congratulations to Mr. Qin for being granted the Australian 482 work visa
Customer background
Mr. Qin, graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer science in China, is just over 40 years old and has been engaged in program development in an IT company for more than 10 years.
At first, he came to consult Australian skilled immigrants, but through the evaluation of EOI scores and personal background, the immigration lawyer learned that his English proficiency was also average, and his spouse could not provide additional points, and his EOI score could not meet the requirements of skilled immigration.
In this case, the immigration lawyer advised Mr. Qin to choose the Australian employer sponsorship method, after all, with his industry experience and background, it is easy to match an employer in Australia and finally realize his immigration wishes.
Mr. Qin and his wife accepted professional advice, matched with a suitable employer with the assistance of an immigration lawyer, and were willing to provide Mr. Qin with a genuine job offer in Australia.
Although the 482 visa cannot get permanent residence in one step, it also solves the problem of his work and status after he goes to Australia, his wife and children go to work and study Xi together, and the whole family can transfer to permanent residence after only Mr. Qin has to work for the employer for a certain number of years.
At the beginning of October 2023, Mr. Qin submitted an application for the Australian 482 visa, nominating for the position of Developer Programmer (ANZSCO 261312 Developer Programmer), and the visa was approved on November 20, which took only one and a half months.
Australia 482 visa
Compared with skilled immigrants, Australian employer-sponsored visas do not require EOI spelling, and the requirements for age and English are relatively relaxed, which is more suitable for applicants with relevant work experience or older age.
The Australian 482 work visa, as a sub-category of employer-sponsored visas, although it cannot be obtained in one step, the applicant can quickly land in Australia with the whole family with this visa.
In the absence of other suitable options, it is a good option for applicants who are relatively weak in English and are older, but have some work experience.
From November 25, 2023, the Australian 482 visa will fully cancel the occupation list restrictions when transferring to permanent residence visas, and all occupations can be transferred to permanent residence for 2 years (previously 3 years), which is another big benefit for Australian employer-sponsored immigrants!
However, it should be noted that the upper age limit for the 482 visa to transfer to Australia for permanent residence is 45 years old, and only a few cases can be exempted from the age requirement, so you must calculate the time when applying for the 482 visa to avoid being unable to transfer to permanent residence due to age issues.
At present, the 482 visa approval speed is very fast, and with the current processing progress, the 482 visa for each sub-category can be issued within 2-3 months, which is also very suitable for friends who need to land in Australia quickly.
