OK will comment now, didn't want to take the other thread off topic. It is up to you if you lodge all at once or in stages, but you need to know that if the nomination / business approval is not obtained, then you will have lost your visa application money. So personally being risk adverse, I would get that through first and only make my application then. You say this is your employer, so you are already on a visa. As such there would be no bridging visa unless the visa you are on expires. I am not sure why this matters anyway, since you already are working on a visa, is that the 457?
