Hello,

Firstly the first thing to remember is that when you're on a WHV you are only allowed to work for the 12 month period. I pressume with you saying you have been here since 2005 you are on the 23month one like me?

I know you've not being getting a salary as such with your job but you are still earning in a sense with getting free accommodation so you should watch how you approach immi with this one incase you have gone over your 12 month working period.

You're probably quickest and easiest option to stay in the country would be to probably apply for a Work Visa then look at more permy options but I dont think this would come through in time for your deadline...

Why dont you give immi a call and see if they can advise you the quickest and easiest option?

I'm afraid I'm like MB and have never heard of the form you mentioned so cant help you on that side.

I'm sorry I cant be a lot of help, I hope you manage to sort things out. If I were you I'd contact immi straight away to get some advice from them.

Good luck!
