I'm getting confused. Beside the questions i asked above, i have more
questions after reading 'Employer nomination Scheme'. I understand the
employer can also sponsor me for permanent visa (Class 856).

If the employer sponsor me for a permanent visa (Class 856),

1) How long typically does it take to apply a 856 permanent visa, a few
weeks or few months?
2) Do i still need to obtain a 136 visa for permanent residency in OZ?
3) What is the difference between Class 856 and 136 visas?
4) With the 856 visa granted, does that mean that I'm consider a PR in
OZ and that i can work for other employer beside this one whom
sponsor me?
5) Can i apply to become an OZ citizen with 856 visa? Is there any
restriction with 856 visa?


Nevertheless, if the employer sponsor me for a temporary visa
(Class 457),

6) How long typically does it take to apply a 457 temp visa, a few weeks
or few months?

7) I have read the General Migration booklet 6 and it states 'If you
applying for an Offshore General Skilled Visa, you must be outside
Australia when the visa is granted.' For my case, if my temp visa is
granted and i have to start working in OZ before my 136 is granted,
will there be a problem? What should i do?

Sorry for asking so many questions....please help me as i'm really very
confused...

Thank you so much...

PTM
