Immigration & Visa so far

Employers currently recognized as standard business sponsors must submit a nomination application on the employee's behalf. Once the nomination is granted, the employee must submit their visa application within six months. Employers who are not yet eligible sponsors must begin the process of becoming one before they can nominate an employee. It is also feasible to submit sponsorship and nomination applications at the same time. Becoming a corporate sponsor and nominating an employee entails a number of responsibilities for the employer.

These responsibilities include meeting the Department of Immigration's standards, which include factors such as the duration of the business's existence, the significance of the roles being nominated, compliance with training benchmarks (if there are no available Australian citizens or permanent residents for those positions), the salary offered to the nominated employee, and several other requirements.

Following these guidelines is essential for a successful sponsorship and nomination process. To be eligible for the 482 visa, you must show proof that you comply with the minimal English language competency requirements. The specific scores required differ based on the visa program you are applying for. It is essential to establish that you obtained these required results in a single test attempt no more than three years before submitting your visa application.
