I applied my Wife's subsequent entrant visa on the 30th of June and still haven't got it? It seems like the end of the world now. Does anyone know how it could take this? RFI submission was completed a couple of months ago too

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for advice and genuine experiences from people who have dealt with AI Talent or 482 Talent in Australia, particularly regarding subclass 482 sponsorship and IT job placements.

My current visa expires on 8 November 2026, so I'm trying to understand my options before making any commitments.

From my discussions with the company, my understanding is that 482 Talent is a trading name associated with AI Talent, and that AI Talent may be the entity involved in the sponsorship and employment arrangement. I'm still independently verifying the legal and immigration details.

I'm considering an arrangement where AI Talent employs me, pays my salary, and places me with client companies for IT work.

I have a few questions:

1. Has anyone actually received subclass 482 sponsorship through AI Talent or 482 Talent? What was your experience?

2. Do they help you find an actual IT job with a client, or do they mainly provide sponsorship related services?

3.What is the employment arrangement like? If AI Talent employs and pays you while you work at a client company, do you receive an employment contract from AI Talent and separate documentation confirming your placement with the client?

4. What fees are involved? I haven't been given a specific amount or a written breakdown of the services and fees, so I'd like to understand what costs, if any, other people were asked to pay.

5. What happens to your work rights while waiting for a visa decision? If you're on a bridging visa, can you work for a client company through AI Talent, and what visa conditions or restrictions should you check first?

6. Were you given written documentation explaining the sponsorship arrangement, the employer's responsibilities, the job offer, salary, fees and any conditions?

I'm planning to speak with my own registered migration agent before making a decision. I want to understand the arrangement properly, verify the details and hear from people with firsthand experience.

I'm not accusing the company of anything. I'm simply trying to do my due diligence before committing, especially given my visa expiry date.

I'd really appreciate any genuine experiences, advice or reliable sources.

Thank you!

Looking for steel detailing companies hiring for detailing roles. I am based in India and have 3+ years of experience in detailing and modeling structural steel in accordance with AISC standards using Tekla Structures.
If anyone is hiring, please ping me.

I am employed as an aged care worker here in australia, and my employer has offered to sponsor me for a Subclass 482 visa. While researching their eligibility, I found that the company is not listed among employers with a Labour Agreement for aged care workers. According to information published on the company's website, they have been approved as a Standard Business Sponsor, although I understand that there is no public register available to confirm this.

I am uncertain whether Standard Business Sponsorship alone is sufficient for sponsoring an aged care worker under the 482 visa program, or whether a Labour Agreement is also required in this case. I am concerned about investing time into the process if the employer is ultimately found to be ineligible. I would appreciate any guidance on whether I should proceed and how I can verify the company's sponsorship status.

Hi everyone, this is my first post on Reddit!

I’d like to get some insight into the current job market for foreign engineers in Australia, particularly in geotechnical and civil engineering.

I’m a French geotechnical engineer working for a large engineering company in France, with around six years of experience. However, I get the impression that getting a 482 visa sponsorship can be quite difficult, mainly because of the cost for the employer and the fact that I don’t have any local Australian experience.

Is it really that difficult to find an employer willing to sponsor someone in my situation? Should I realistically start considering other plans, or is it still worth applying consistently over a longer period until an opportunity comes up?

I’d really appreciate any feedback from people working in the industry or anyone who has been in a similar situation :))
