Hello,
I am sorry but I get so confuse with all this visa things. I would like to stay in Australia temporary and later maybe permanently. At the moment I am on a working holiday visa, and I was thinking about getting a skilled sponsorship visa. I do not have any sponsor yet, so I was wondering if it is possible to apply for a second working holiday visa and then a skilled sponsorship visa? I saw it takes quite a while to process it.
I would like some help please
Thank you very much

Your post is not for this thread and you should start your own thread but depending on your country and if you do three months regional specific work or www.wwoof.com.au during your first WHV, you'll be eligible for a second WHV.
I'll delete this post in a week

Guys, I know it's a temptation to be asking what's going on etc. especially when you have been waiting a while and feel free to open a thread on your progress, much as many people have.
But we do want a timeline section to be exactly that and not so much for chit chat for it'll lose its real purpose as a reference thread.

There'll always be variations in how long visas take to be processed and many reasons for that, a few of them outlined on Client Service Charter
