    Hi Guys, quick question! My OH and I were planning on moving to Canberra, As we were offered a job & sponsorship. Our application has been in sice Easter, and last week we were informed the case is closed. The reason given is that the employer did not provide satisfactory information about 'base rates salary'. The employer/sponsor is still eager to re-open the case.
    Our situation now is that we're in Ireland, but have both given up jobs to leave Ireland in August. We would like to go to Oz for 2 weeks and meet with sponsor and sort this out, then move on to NZ where we can work on working holiday visas. My question is (Finally!!) are we allowed to enter Australia on a holiday visa while our visa is still pending??
    Any answers/advice greatly appreciated :)

    I hope so because we're in the same situation more or less. Our visa s being processed and we are supposed to be going over for 2 weeks soon!

    I can't see that it would be a problem.

    :confused: which is it pending or closed? if closed then yes, if pending then no, you have to get some kind of bridging visa or something ... can't remember the exacts.

    We arrived on a holiday visa with the 457 application logged and pending. Not sure if this was right but nothing was said to us...
