I'd be curious how that works out in actual practice. I know people in the right industries don't lose their visas when they lose their jobs but unless there is a credential, like a Nursing diploma, I can't imagine how they manage Visa issuance. On one flight from Los Angeles to Sydney, about ten years ago, most of the passengers sitting around me in the plane were Americans, most from Houston, with experience in the oil industry ranging from refinery work to well drilling and production. Oil industry jobs in America were scarce. One had a sister, married to an Australian, living outside Brisbane who had said it was easy to get oil sector jobs in Australia. On the basis of this hearsay evidence he and his friends, and it seemed like their friends as well, were making their way to Australia to find employment. They were under the impression that after they found employment they may have to come back to America to receive their Australian visas. I have always wondered how they fared. .
