457 expiring soon, need options

Hi,

I was on a 457 visa for my employer for a little over a year and was recently made redundant. I am hoping to find a new employer to take up my 457 visa, however I want to make sure I am considering all my options in the event that is not possible before my 60 day time limit is up.

I should qualify for the 189 or 190 visa as I understand the requirements, however I do not know how applying for them will work while I am on my current visa.

My main concern is whether or not my 60 day clock will impact my ability to be granted a new 189/190 visa - what if the visa application is lodged but the visa is not granted before my current 457 visa expires?

If you meet the requirements for a particular visa, there is nothing stopping you from lodging another application while you are holding a 457 visa.

Things will get more complicated if the sc. 457 is cancelled at some stage.

It might be best to get some professional advise to properly discuss all the options and potential consequences.
