407 Refusal
Hey everyone, trying to understand where I stand with my visa situation and would appreciate any advice or similar experiences.
I applied for a 407 Training Visa through my employer. It got refused while I was overseas on a bridging visa, so I had no ART review rights at the time.
I took the matter to court/judicial review and the case was sent back to Home Affairs for reconsideration.
During this period, I was on a bridging visa with 8107 work limitations, meaning I could not change employer, position, or stop working for the sponsor. Without fully realising the consequences, I resigned from that employer and later found a new employer willing to sponsor me for a 482 visa, which means I breached my visa conditions.
I then applied for variation of work conditions so I could start working for the new employer, but there has been no outcome yet.
Now, the 407 has been refused again, but this time I do have ART review rights. I’m supposed to apply for a 482 through the new employer soon, but because I currently don’t have unrestricted work rights, their lawyer is hesitant to proceed.
Just trying to understand:
If I lodge an ART review, is there any possibility of getting work rights without these limitations?
Would I potentially be allowed to work for the new employer during the ART process?
Has anyone been through something similar involving a 407 refusal, breach of conditions, and later moving onto a 482?
Please help 🥲😒
