  37. Hello,

    I want to apply for a sponsored visa (subclass 457) in a farm. The owner still have to apply to be sponsor and of course to nominate me.
    I’m just concerned about the required qualification for the skill I will apply for (code 121411: mixed crop and livestock farmer; or 121399: livestock farmer n.e.c.) with the only ticket I have, a certificate of professional formation in agriculture.
    How can I know if that will be enough before applying?
    If the visa wasn’t granted, would there be an other way to get the qualification in Australia while keep working?
    In the worse case of this visa. Would there be an other way to stay in Australia? I really want to, and want one day to get the citizenship.
    By the way, I don’t know if this would change something, I’m Belgian.

    Thanks

  51. Hello Dilip,

    first of all I would congratulate and appreciate you for what you have been doing, really a great job answering all the comments from 2011 until now. On the similar line I have a question on availing the 5 points on work experience basis, so I have my Bachelors & Masters in Mechanical Engineering with 7 years of Work experience in IT, do you think I am still eligible for getting those 5 points based on work related experience.

    Thanks
    laxmi

    1. Hello Laxmi,
      Thank you so much . You will not get that 5 points for your experience as 6 years will be deducted as unskilled for which you cannot claim experience points and you need 3 years of overseas experience to get 5 points.
