Hey,
Hopefully someone can give some advice/give their experience on this as I am struggling to find information
The situation:
I am currently on a WHV which expires in March 2019, and have been working for the same employer since June 2018. I have since applied for the New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship visa (461) which, if approved, would grant me access to Australia for 5 years with no work restrictions.
My 6 month restriction with my current employer comes into effect in December 2018, and I have filled out a 1445 extension form to request to have my working restriction removed whilst I wait on a decision for my 461 visa.
Questions:
Thanks in advance for any information. I can't seem to get through to speak to Home Affairs by phone yet, although will be trying again. Any experience info would be much appreciated.
Have an awesome day

Questions:
- The 1445 form, "Q16 What period to work with employer is requested (ie proposed end date for employment?)" - Ideally I would like until I receive a decision on my current visa, but I don't know when that will be. How long can I feasibly ask for? Do I have to put an end date?
- My Briding visa A comes into effect in March when my WHV expires, but comes with the same working restriction. Can I apply again for the 1445 to have this removed, or will I just have to admit defeat and move to a different employer?
