How did you go?
Hi Niall
I saw one of your other threads, just wondering if you had consulted anyone?
The reason why I am asking is because I ran into the same problem, but I didn't ask anyone I just did it (urrrgh).
So while on my 457, I started a company with my partner. I was doing that while still working full-time with my previous sponsor. I honestly didn't think anything wrong with it so I openly told everyone about what I was doing. I mean, our company currently employees several people and if anything I am creating jobs, not stealing it. I am also not being paid so technically I am not on payroll hence not an employee.
Turned out to be a big mistake.
Long story short, I applied for a partner visa with my boyfriend. 2 years later they finally got to review my application, and I was told that I need to withdraw my application because I am in breach of 8107 - for working on my own business while being employed on a 457 visa.
So the answer I got was no... Just wondering if you did get yours and how it went.
