Thanks and yes, the status switched from Application received to Finalised. It only switches to In Process if further documents are needed, otherwise it will be granted the same day they look at your application for the first time. Thanks Sbond and Waiting123

Amazing news on our side. We got our visa!!!!!! :arghh: OMG I can't believe it after waiting so long and checking emails every morning!!! :chatterbox: Good luck for every one of you!

Funny thing, I also sent an email out. One almost 2 weeks ago and then another email yesterday. Hoping to get some news soon, and hopefully just the approval without any more requests [emoji16]

Nice too see some progress. Good luck for the last steps! And thanks for sharing, I applied on 27 November so hoping to hear something soon now [emoji1374]

I applied for 457 end of November shortly after my company applied for nomination mid of Nov. Nomination got approved about 1.5 weeks ago but still waiting for the visa. I'm applying from a low risk country.

Have you been asked to provide form 80? As far as I can see, it's not required in the standard process.

I hope so [emoji53] let me know how your request goes of getting it waived.

Oh no! Do you know why they requested police certificates? I'm from Germany and lived in Australia and Canada for the past 5 years and I'm concerned whether I would be asked for police certificates as well, as I also don't want the process taking even longer because of that. :unsure:

@siebzzehn any progress on your application? nothing on my side. Sent an email to immi a week ago, will be interesting if I'll hear back from them these days now.

Do you know why they requested form 80 from you?

Wow congrats! Where are you heading to?

New day (in Australia) - new chances! Good luck everyone! Let it be THE day [emoji1374]

Wow this is a very long and unusual waiting time. Did you call or email immi? What position are you applying for and are you from a low or high risk country? In any case, it shouldn't take that long.

Awesome news and congrats! Looks like we're sitting in the same boat [emoji51] fingers crossed for getting the visa on Monday Btw, do you know if we have to upload the nomination approval letter to our immi account now?

Thanks everyone! Hope many more good news will come up for everyone next week!
