Hi gary and juli
We applied under this visa, i presume you already have state sponsorship? Once we lodged our application, after getting state sponsorship, it took about 10 weeks before we had our visa granted. So it was Nov '07 lodged, mid Jan granted. We arrived in Oz on Friday.
Hope this helps

Hi Paul

Thanks for the reply..We do already have state sponsership...10 weeks that seems realy quick.. well done....I have some questions if you don`t mind

1, When did they ask for meds and police checks..?
2, What business are you in..?
3, Did they come back to you with any questions on the application..?
4, How is life at the moment...?

Thanks for your time paul ..much appreciated...business visa 163 apllicants seem to be very rare its good to hear from somebady who successfully has been through the process.........G
