In this letter of advice I would provide you information in relation to employer sponsor visas available in Australia. The information provided to you would be based on the types of visa available, the sponsorship, nomination and other requirements to get the visa and what the visa allows and restricts a visa holder to do. There are three types of employer sponsored visa which can be selected from in order to temporarily or permanently stay and work in Australia. Subclass 457 temporary work skilled visa is one of them. Under this visa Overseas or Australian businesses have the right to sponsor and employ staff belonging to other countries with the help of this visa. This visa can only be obtained by those people who are in an occupation which is present in the consolidated skilled occupation list. Through the use of this visa a person can live and work in Australia for a period of 4 years and can also bring their family members to the country. This visa can also be extended to permanent residency through the use of subclass 186, 187 visas. The criteria for approval is provided in regulation 2.72 of Migration regulation 1994. The process for nomination is provided under s 2.73 of MR 1994. The criteria for standard business sponsor have been provided under reg 2.59 of MR 1994. The rules of providing approval are given under reg 2.61 of MR 1994.
In order to make a claim for this visa a person has to be sponsored by an approved business in Australia. The person is also required to have certain specific skills through which he or she can satisfy the position which has been nominated by the approved business. The person must also have specific level of English speaking requirements for the purpose of being able to satisfy requirements under this visa. The occupation of the person has to be a skilled occupation which has been provided approval by the Australian government. The person who has made an application for this visa has to show that he has the experience and skill which is necessary to carry out the work for the nominated occupation. It is also the duty of the approved business to provide such person with necessary registration and licensing information. A Police certificate is also needed before an application for this visa is launched in relation to the character of the person. The person may also be required to undergo a skill assessment in Australia for the purpose of meeting the eligibility criteria.
In order to become a sponsor a business must have the capacity to show that they have been lawfully operating their business in the country and no relevant adverse information is present in relation to the Business. The business also has to show that they have complied with a few specific requirements which include the demonstration that they are committed to employ local people as labour and have non-discriminatory recruitment practices. In order to become approved sponsor a business may apply to be a standard business sponsor or may negotiate a Labour agreement. A business can only have one standard business sponsorship approved at a given span of time which is valid for a period of 5 years. This time frame can be extended anytime by lodgement of variation application. In case the business is an Australian business it must attest in writing that it has a strong record of employing local labour. The business must also be able to provide evidence that there is a systematic and genuine shortage of skilled worker and suitable qualified workers in Australia are not available. The business must also prove that they have commitment of training Australians. In case the application to become a sponsor has been approved the department of immigration will provide the business with a letter stating that date when the sponsorship comes to an end, the sponsorship agreement number and the obligations which the business has under the sponsorship.
For the purpose of attaining this visa the process of nomination is also required along with the process of sponsorship. This is the process under which the employer identifies a position which is to be satisfied by a skilled worker who is not an Australian. The nomination is required in relation to both labour agreement and standard business sponsor. In the process of nomination it is identified whether there is any relevance in the position which is to be filled, what are the experience and skills required to satisfy the position, the salary rate of the position and the salary which is to be provided to the oversea employee, the details of the oversea employee who is potentially to be appointed and where would the employee be working in Australia. An approval in relation to the nomination comes to an end as soon as a withdrawal of the nomination is made or 12 months after the nomination is approved. The nomination can be lodged only by an approved business sponsor who has already launched a sponsorship application. The nomination can also be made together with the sponsorship application. Nomination can be made in case the following Minimum requirements have been satisfied. The nomination must include the name of the skilled worker and in which state of the country they are going to work. The nomination must comply with all direct employer requirements. Employment terms and conditions which satisfy certain requirements have to be provided. The nomination also has to meet the genuineness criteria. The temporary skilled migrant income threshold provisions also have to be satisfied by the nomination. There must also not be any adverse information in the nomination. In case a business is a standard business sponsor the person who has been nominated has to be eligible for getting the subclass 457 visa. In situation where a sponsor wants to employ a person who is not listed of eligible skilled occupation it can be done to a labour agreement. The nomination has to identify the person who has been nominated. Unless the oversea worker is to be paid $250,000 or more, equivalent terms and conditions are to be provided to the potential worker as compared to the Australian workers.
In case visa 457 has been provided to a person there are certain mandatory requirements which have to be satisfied. The first mandatory condition is condition 8107 imposed by the migration regulations. Under this condition the nominated person has to work only for the nominated position. The work has to be started within a period of 90 days after the person has come to Australia in case the person was outside Australia when the visa had been granted. the person is only allowed to work for the sponsor who has nominated the person in the position and not for any other person. The person must not stop employment with the approved sponsor for a period of more than 60 continuous days. The other conditions which have been imposed on this visa include condition 8501 and other conditions like 8502 8506 and 8525.
Therefore in relation to the employer sponsored visa for Jacklyn Fisher it is best recommended that an application for 457 visa is made as there is no intention on the part of Jacklyn Fisher to reside in Australia on a permanent basis. She would be able to reside and work in Australia through this visa once she clears the all requirements and leave the country when her employment in over. In addition as her salary is more than $250000 it would not be mandatory to provide her with equivalent terms and conditions. Your business has to make an application to become an approved business sponsor and also nominate Jacklyn Fisher in the position which is required to be satisfied. According to the facts your business seems to be a reputed business as its has a high annual turnover, having more than 100 employees and operating for a period of 32 years. The role which you wish to nominate is also rare and the person whom you want to nominate for this role many be mandatorily required to fulfill your contractual obligations with the Australian government. The experiences and skills possessed by the nominee also seem to be adequate to satisfy the position for which she has been nominated. All primary requirements in relation to getting an employer sponsored visa have been highlighted for you. In case you have any other questions feel free to contact me in the future.
The conduct of the registered migration agents is governed through the provisions of the Migration Agents code of conduct provided in Migration Regulation 1998 schedule 2. Part 2 of the code deals with the standards of professional conduct of a migration agents. It has been provided by provision 2.1 that it is the duty of the migration agent to always work in accordance to the rules of law and the legal interest of the client. They must deal with the clients fairly, diligently and competently. The code expressly clarifies through provision 2.1A that a registered migration agent should not accept anyone in form of a client in case the gent would be in a position of conflict of interest. Conflict of interest may arise if there had been previous dealing with the person by the agent or has the intention of supporting the person in the capacity of an agent like a marriage celebrant. Even if there is any other kind of interest which would legitimately affect the interest of the client the agent would be deemed to have a conflict of interest position. Provisions of 2.1B clarify that in case it is clear that the registered agent is in a position of conflict of interest which respect to the client, as soon as practicable but within a period of 14 days taking into consideration the interest of the client has to notify the client with respect to the conflict of interest, advise the client that he cannot act for the client under the code, tell the client to hire another registered migration agent and prevent any further dealing with the client in capacity of an agent like the situation where the client has terminated the agency. It is also the duty of the agent as soon as practicable but within a period of 14 days to inform the department that he is not acting any longer in the capacity of an agent for the client.
The present facts provide that Jim and Owen wish to ensure that I only act on behalf of their company and not the visa applicant. This is because in the past they have had experience of people previously employed by them embellished their prior history and records in relation to employment. For the purpose of avoiding conflict of interest it is important for me to only act for one client and not for both of this. This is because in this situation I would not be able to act for the best interest of both the clients at the same time. The best interest of the employee would not be the best interest of the employer. Provisions of 2.1B clarify that in case it is clear that the registered agent is in a position of conflict of interest which respect to the client, as soon as practicable but within a period of 14 days taking into consideration the interest of the client has to notify the client with respect to the conflict of interest, advise the client that he cannot act for the client under the code, tell the client to hire another registered migration agent and prevent any further dealing with the client in capacity of an agent like the situation where the client has terminated the agency. It is also the duty of the agent as soon as practicable but within a period of 14 days to inform the department that he is not acting any longer in the capacity of an agent for the client. Therefore in relation to the code I must also do the same and inform one of the clients that I am not going to work for them as I am not allowed to do so under the code of conduct.
