Ok, not an expert here...but first, do NOT listen to what they say on the phone at DIBP. They are known for giving false information (they did with me). From my understanding, yes, if your 457 gets canceled, then your BVA/BVB will also be canceled.

As for the 600 visa...I don't know that they will give you a tourist visa since you already have the 457, as you won't be a "tourist" and won't meet the requirements as a "genuine tourist." As for your trip to the US, I guess you could try for the ETA visa as soon as you get to the US. But here's your problem...your BVA/BVB are linked to the 457 visa, not a 600 or ETA visa. So I don't know that will work, because you won't have a BVA/BVB once that 457 is canceled. Hopefully one of our regular RMAs will comment on this...but it sounds like you're in a real pickle.

I highly recommend our RMAs who post on here regularly. I've gotten consultations myself.

Look, everyone, I know nothing about this, but American bacon isn't better than bacon in Australia.

As you were.

Not better, just a different kind. One I prefer.

Once you have a BVC, you need to apply for work rights. You can do so via a 1005 form (I believe), show a budget (just use a generic budget form), utilities/bank statements, etc. As for the study component, not sure. I'll have a look when I get home.
