Bel Junior Member Member # 6302	Posted November 27, 2002 03:29 PM I have a few queries relating to a work permit. Am an Aussie currently on working holiday maker visa, have been offered sponsorship by my employer. Does the HO charge a fee for obtaining a WP? What is the likelihood of me obtaining a WP as a paralegal bearing in mind advertising may be met and have uni degree in law at home and 5 yrs exp at home as a paralegal? Thanks in advance
