Great follow-up question! 😊

For the Statement of Service required by VETASSESS, “written” simply means it needs to be a formal document, but it must be typed, not handwritten. Handwritten letters will not be accepted.

Here’s what it should include:

• Be on company letterhead (so it looks official)

• Be typed and signed by a person authorised by the employer (like HR or a manager)

• Include: your job title, employment dates (start and end or “to date”), description of duties, full-time/part-time status, and weekly hours

Also, make sure the letterhead includes the employer’s contact details (address, phone, email) and that the signatory’s name and position are clearly stated.

Ah wait, I can see from the copyright reference at the bottom that this is VETASSESS.

If you’re going through the VETASSESS assessment process, in there system, you must pay the assessment fee before you can upload your documents.

The portal will only allow document uploads after the payment has been confirmed.

As for the application type, choose the one that suits your visa goal:

1. Skills Assessment – if you’re applying for a General Skilled Migration visa (subclass 189, 190, 491, 482 etc).

2. Points Test Advice Only – only if you’ve already completed a full skills assessment with another assessing body.

3. Industry Labour Agreement (ILA) – only select this if your employer is sponsoring you under an approved Labour Agreement.

4. Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) – only if you’re being sponsored under a DAMA arrangement by an approved regional employer.

Most skilled migrants will choose “Skills Assessment (GSM, ENS, SESR, 482, SID)” unless you are going through a Labour Agreement or DAMA pathway.

I hope this clears things up for you. Let me know if you need help.

All the best

Hi Sudip, thanks for reaching out and welcome to our community. 👍🏻

It’s great that you already have 1.5 years of experience in Australia as a chef, your skills assessment completed, and a PTE score of 6 overall. Based on your occupation, here’s how you can proceed:

1. Occupation Check: Chef falls under ANZSCO 351311 and is currently listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). This makes you eligible for various skilled visa options including employer-sponsored pathways.

2. Finding an Australian Sponsor: To find an employer willing to sponsor you, I recommend starting with:

https://482jobs.com – This is one of our own websites, and all jobs listed here offer Australian visa sponsorship. You can go directly to chef and hospitality roles here: https://482jobs.com/job-category/hospitality-tourism/

https://seek.com.au – Mostly lists non-sponsored jobs, but you can use keywords like “sponsorship” in your search.

https://indeed.com.au – Same as Seek, remember to filter for sponsorship in your search terms.

3. Australian Resume & Visibility:

Make sure your resume is in the right format for Australian recruiters. Here’s a helpful guide: https://482jobs.com/australia-resume-tips-craft-winning-resume/

Upload your resume to https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/ – Recruiters search our resume database every month for potential visa sponsorship candidates.

4. Australia Visa Pathways: Since your occupation is on the MLTSSL, you may be eligible for:

Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage visa)

Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme – direct entry)

Subclass 494 (Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional – provisional)

I hope this helps point you in the right direction. If you have any questions about the next steps or visa requirements, feel free to ask.

Warm regards,

Mark

Hi Kugan, nice to hear from you again. 🙂

Let’s address your questions one by one:

1. Assuming I find a suitable role aligned with my professional background, would Australian employers be in a position to consider my application under any of the following scenarios?

a) Once my fiancée’s PR application process has formally commenced?

b) During the PR application process, while awaiting the outcome?

c) Only after the PR has been officially granted?

As a dependent on your fiancée’s TSS 482 visa, you currently have full and unrestricted work rights in Australia. This means you are legally entitled to work for any employer without the need for additional sponsorship. However, it’s important to note that some employers may have internal policies or preferences for hiring Australian citizens or permanent residents. While your fiancée’s progression towards permanent residency is a positive development, it doesn’t directly alter your current work rights or necessarily influence employer decisions. Therefore, you can apply for roles at any stage, but employer receptiveness may vary based on their individual policies and the nature of the role.

2. Would I be eligible to apply for positions where the employer is open to sponsoring a candidate under the subclass 482 visa, regardless of my partner’s PR status or timeline?

Yes, you are eligible to apply for such positions. However, since you already possess full work rights as a TSS 482 dependent, you do not require employer sponsorship. Applying for roles that offer sponsorship might be advantageous if the employer prefers candidates with long-term visa stability or if the role has specific requirements that align with the sponsorship pathway. Nonetheless, it’s essential to communicate your current visa status clearly to potential employers to avoid any misunderstandings.

3. Would submitting a letter or confirmation from my fiancée’s employer regarding her PR sponsorship plan help strengthen my applications, or is it largely irrelevant in the context of employer-sponsored visas such as the 482?

While providing such a letter might demonstrate your long-term commitment to residing in Australia, it is generally not a standard requirement and may not significantly impact an employer’s decision. Employers typically focus on your current work rights, qualifications, and suitability for the role. Therefore, emphasizing your existing full work rights and relevant experience is likely to be more effective in strengthening your applications.

I hope this information provides clarity on your situation. If you have further questions or need assistance with any aspect of your job search, please feel free to ask.

Best regards,

Mark

Hi Anna, and welcome to our community 👋🙂.

Great to hear you’re exploring options to migrate to Australia.

With over 8 years of experience in commercial real estate and 3 years as a Data Quality Analyst, you’re on the right track with ANZSCO 224114.

I’ve reviewed the latest occupations lists and based on this, here’s an overview of the visa pathways available for your occupation:

1. Skills in Demand (SID) Visa (Subclass 482 – Core Skills Stream)

Your occupation is currently listed on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL), which makes you eligible for the new SID visa. This temporary visa allows employers to sponsor overseas workers for up to 4 years.

Key requirements include:

• Job offer from an approved Australian employer
• At least 1 year of relevant work experience
• Meeting the Annual Market Salary Rate and Core Skills Income Threshold
• English language proficiency
• Skills assessment, if required

More info: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/skills-in-demand-visa-subclass-482

2. Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186 – Direct Entry Stream)

This is a permanent residency option and your occupation is eligible. You’ll need:

• A job offer and nomination from an Australian employer
• At least 3 years of relevant experience
• A positive skills assessment
• Competent English

3. Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189)

This points-based permanent visa doesn’t require employer sponsorship. You must:

• Have your occupation on the relevant skilled list
• Pass a points test
• Have a positive VETASSESS skills assessment
• Meet English language standards

4. Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190)

Another permanent visa, but requires state or territory nomination. South Australia (Adelaide) runs its own skilled program. You’ll need:

• A positive skills assessment
• To meet points and English thresholds
• State nomination

5. Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491)

This visa is for skilled workers wanting to live and work in regional Australia, including Adelaide. You can be sponsored by a family member or nominated by a regional state or territory. After 3 years, it may lead to permanent residency (Subclass 191).

All the best

Thanks for sharing, Mercy and welcome to our community! 👋😊

Hi Clever,

Thanks for the follow-up, and you’re very welcome!

To clarify, you cannot apply for a subclass 186 visa on your own without an Australian employer nominating you. The Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) is an employer-sponsored visa and has two main streams:

1. Direct Entry stream – for applicants who have a positive skills assessment and at least 3 years of relevant work experience

2. Temporary Residence Transition stream – for those who have worked with their sponsoring employer on a 482 visa for at least 2 years

Based on your details:

• You have a valid skills assessment (issued less than 3 years ago, so it’s still current)

• You meet the IELTS requirement (minimum band 5 in each, overall 6)

• You have over 12 years of experience

• You are 35 years old, which is within the age limit (under 45)

So yes, you’re eligible in principle for the subclass 186, but you must first find an employer willing to sponsor you.

In addition to the 186, you may also be eligible for independent skilled migration through these visas:

1. Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) – does not require employer or state sponsorship

2. Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) – requires nomination by a state or territory government

3. Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) – requires either state nomination or family sponsorship in regional Australia

Your occupation, Fitter (General) – ANZSCO 323211, is on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List), making you eligible for all of these options.

These visas are points-tested. To apply, you need to:

• Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect

• Meet the minimum score of 65 points (although higher scores are more competitive)

• Hold a valid skills assessment and meet English and age requirements

If you’d like help estimating your points, the tool available here is useful. Select ‘189 visa’ from the options on the landing page, then follow the prompts and questions.

You’re definitely on the right track. Continue to push forward and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions
