question regarding Subclass 885 (PR)visa (2 year study rule)

Post by callixtus » Wed Apr 29, 2009 12:22 pm

Hi, I've got a question regarding Subclass 885 visa.

I got admission to study Masters degree at UNSW this july (semester 2) and i will be completing my studies in one year in july of 2010.

i am in the IT field and my occupation is in the MODL (It management with 4 years of experience).

my question is, will my application for a subclass 885 visa for residence be approved after i complete my masters study in Australia? Basing on my current points assessment, I surpass the 120 points needed and my occupation is in the MODL. But my problem is, will Australian Immigration still require me to complete the 2 year study rule (since I will be holding a student visa subclass 573)?

Please help me out. Thanks!
