Has anyone applied for the Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 121/856)? I have a degree in Sociology but have worked as an admin clerk for 6 years so I think the only visa Ithink I can apply for is the Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 121/856).

However I feel like this is more complicated and I feel that my dreams of moving to QLD are never goin to come true.

If I apply for this scheme does this mean that I have to find a job then apply for the job adn hope that I get the job. Then ask for my employee to nominate me, then apply for the visa and hope that the employer will wait until my visa comes through?

I just wanted to apply for a visa, everyone say yes come along then I move and find a job :err: Yes I realise this was silly of me to think this but I still lived in hope.

Also I've been reading the immigration website and it says if you are outside Australia when the visa is granted it costs $1420. However it isn't really clear how much the 2nd instalement. Has anyone applied for this visa and how much did they have to pay for the second instalment? :rofl:
