At Migrate Now Lawyers, we recently assisted a client, a qualified nurse, who initially entered Australia on a Temporary Skill Shortage visa (subclass 482). Despite challenges relating to employer compliance and changes in occupation lists, we successfully navigated the transition from temporary residency to permanent residency through the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186).
Our involvement included:
- Advising the sponsoring employer on compliance obligations under the Migration Act 1958.
- Preparing and lodging a comprehensive nomination application with supporting evidence.
- Managing the client’s transition by ensuring continued lawful status during processing.
The outcome not only secured permanent residency for the client but also addressed the employer’s critical skills shortage. Cases such as this illustrate the importance of legal representation in achieving successful migration outcomes.
