专业不在列表上面的同学,好像还是可以申请485的:
I am an international student who was planning to apply for a GSM visa at the completion of my course of study. My intended occupation is not on the new list of occupations. Would I be affected by the proposed changes?
You would not be eligible to apply for a permanent or provisional GSM visa unless your nominated occupation is on the SOL that is in effect at the time you seek to lodge your application.
However, it is proposed that if on 8 February 2010 you held a subclass 572 (vocational education and training sector) visa, a subclass 573 (higher education sector) visa or a subclass 574 (postgraduate research sector) visa, you would still be able to apply for a subclass 485 (skilled graduate) visa. This is intended to be the case even if your nominated occupation is not on the new list of occupations, provided that you apply before 31 December 2012 and nominate an occupation that is on the current SOL. The current SOL contains more than 400 occupations and is available on the department’s website at: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1121i.pdf
This would allow you to gain valuable work experience in Australia and the opportunity to secure an employer or a state/territory government sponsorship.
It is proposed that if you held one of the eligible student visas as at 8 February 2010 and you wish to apply for a permanent GSM visa that can be granted in Australia after the new list of occupations comes into effect, you would be required to nominate an occupation on that new list. If your nominated occupation is not on the new list, you may still be able to apply for a temporary or permanent employer sponsored visa on completion of your studies to allow you to work in Australia. You would be required to have an employer willing to sponsor you.
More information on employer sponsored visas is available on the department’s website at: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/ |
