VERYSTORMY Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Normally about 48 hours if there is no complicating factor such as criminal record. The last time i applied (for my son) i applied on a sunday afternoon and it was granted monday lunch time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMMA123 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 thanks for your help , if you don't mind me asking how long ago did you apply for a whv for your son? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Two years ago. But the times are about the same now from what i see on here and Perth Poms. Only gets slowed down over public holiday periods - christmas being the main one and easter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Standard processing time as stated on the DIBP website is 10 days, things can take longer if you have criminal record or state you will work in health or child care while you are there as you will need a medical.

EMMA123 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 and is it possible to pay by debit card - applying tomorrow , praying it goes through ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britpop Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Scott, you get up to a year to enter once it's been granted so yes. Emma, yes you can pay by debit card, simple process. Just make sure you use the official site and not an agent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotOz2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 what sort of price are we talking for a WHV? is it best to get it off of immi at £265? does anywhere else do it cheaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 what sort of price are we talking for a WHV? is it best to get it off of immi at £265? does anywhere else do it cheaper? No, nowhere else is cheaper. And yes, go direct via the AUS immi site. Everyone else will be a middle man and charge you extra for your application. It's easy to fill in yourself, pay for and so on.
