In a word. No. You can not apply for a visa on that occupation immediately after graduation. You will need two to three years experience in order to pass the skills assessment. Also, if an occupation is only available for a 190, you would require state sponsorship, so you would need a state to sponsor your application. You will need to check when the time comes if any states are sponsoring or even if the occupation is still eligible as the lists change regularly

It is expensive. We moved our chihuahua back to the UK and paid $3k. But consider it money very well spent. Here is why: About a day before he was due to fly, the airline suddenly announced a total ban on animal flights. At the same time, my wife had a none refundable ticket booked for the same day. Rearranging that ourselves would have been a nightmare. Dogtainers sorted it immediately with no hassle to us. We arrived at Heathrow and in front of us were a family waiting to collect their cat. There was a tiny, and I mean tiny error in the paperwork - the vets signature had just gone out of the box by a mm. The family were devastated as were being told they had three options. Pay thousands to quarantine, send the cat back, destroy the cat. I do know of people that have done it successfully, but, in my view it wasn't worth it.

You really should be employing a good migration agent. Family sponsorship is not simple. Yes, a mother can sponsor. But, the 489 I snow effectively abolished and being replaced and none of us amateurs are at all clear on the replacement. If it runs like that 489, it isn't an easy thing. In effect, you would still need to pass the same issues as a 189, but with added criteria based on where your mother lives as it must be in a designated area.

If there is American complication you should seek advice from a specialist migration agent such as George Lombard

I think you are confused on visas. A temporary visa such as a 482 requires a company or business such as a hospital to sponsor it. So, you have to find a job and they have to be willing and able to sponsor. Most sponsored jobs are going to be a temporary visa. These are not recommended as a good way to Australia for families. At the end of a temporary visa, there is no guarantee you would be eligible to apply for permanent visas. So, if you do go for a temporary visa, you should assume you will be leaving Australia at the end of the visa. You would be better looking at independent permanent visas or state sponsored visas, which are permanent. These are the 189 and 190 visas. The 189 allows you you live and work anywhere in Australia. The 190 allows you to live and work anywhere in the sponsoring state.

A 482 would be cancelled the moment the PR is granted.

I have said this till I am blue in the face and it amazes my that I have to on this cat of visas. You should be taking proffessional advice on these visas from a specialist migration agent. These visas come with a lot of things that people often do not understand.

You would be better to look at obtaining a permanent visa from the start. If you were to obtain sponsorship, which will be difficult, you would need to accept that all you have is a temporary visa and go on the assumption that you will be returning to the UK at the end of the visa or earlier if you were to lose your job for any reason. Temporary visas also come with a number of issues. For example, many states, including WA charge temporary visa holders for education of any children you have. Partners of temporary visa applicants can find it difficult to find work as employers are not keen on applicants whose ability to remain in the country is not in their own hands. Hence, it is not a method recommended for families.

Incorrect. In fact these are the very type of issues good migrations agents are for. They ARE experts in skills assessments.

Have you checked NT and Tas? They generally sponsor most occupations

Which state have you applied for sponsorship from?

You seem to have got into a bit of a visa mess here. For example, to apply with your wife as main applicant, she would need a degree in nursing. I suggest you speak to a good registered migration agent

Paul Hand, who has responded to you above is a highly respected agent. His contact details are in the signature at the bottom of his post.

What has been posted is what I hoped would be posted when I made the first reply. In follow up, I would chose one of the two above and appoint them. This doesn't mean just having a conversation, but appoint them to deal with the application

I suspect this is going to need a consultation with a registered migration agent

The main thing that they should have mentioned is that a 491 is not a permanent visa. It is a provisional visa which gives the ability to apply for a permanent visa is certain conditions are met over two years after moving. I am not sure how the new 491 yet works as it is replacing the 489. It seems very similar and would say that under a 489, Perth is NOT regional. Overall, I get the feel the UK agent is the better / giving the better advice. Is the Oz agent a registered MARA agent?

Reciprocal health doesn't cover everything. Basically, they will prevent you from dying. So, it is recommended you have suitable insurance? Have you been granted the visa yet as it is a condition on grant that the post is full time. What the employer wants is irrelevant it is very important you understand you may not be eligible for a PR visa in two years time and the advice always given to this moving on a temp visa is to assume you will be returning at the end of it.

That would be fine. Oz has no requirement. But the airlines usually demand 6 months.

I would consult a registered migration agent as your case is far from straight forward. I believe at the moment, a degree is required, though experience can be counted in place of. But that will be complex. Also, is the complexity of being a deputy manager rather than a manager.

What are your qualifications

It isn't going to be an easy one. I would run your case past a good registered migration agent - a number of the best ones post on here regularly and will many will give an initial assessment for free.

The level of advice you receive from an instructed agent compared to the level you may have had for free are two totally different things.

The work can be anything.

Health issues are assessed on the likely cost to the Australian tax payer over a number of years in the future. As a rule of thumb, my advice is always p, if there is a health complication to seek advice from a proffessional registered migration agent. George Lombard is one well known for specialising in visas with health complications

Three things. One of which is important and one very important. 1. (Not important!). Applications lodged in the UK are currently taking about a year. So, I am afraid you have a fair while to go. 2. (Important). There was little point in doing medicals or police checks yet as you may be required to do them again - they are only valid for year. That is if you are lucky. If you are unlucky, you could be faced with having to make a sudden (and expensive) trip to Oz, as you have to make first entry within 12 months of medical or police check, which ever is first. So, if you get a grant 364 days after medical. You have a day to get there. At the same time, they don't speed up the process, they will just sit there until the co would have asked for them in a fair few months time. 3. (Very Important). A police check stating "no live trace" usually means there there is something there. Have you declared everything that you should have, as they will no usually come back to you for an explanation.
