My medicals have been finalised and I have a start date of 22nd October but DIAC say they wont approve until 22nd Septmebr 1 month prior to my start date, has anyone had the same have all yours been approved within 4 weeks of going?

I have to give 3 months notice at work and cant until visa approved DIAC said only way to issue earlier is to ask employer to contact them advising an earlier start date!

They have also said our insurance is not sufficient as it doesnt state the childrens names. Its with our joint bank account so details mine and my husbands and states our children are covered - I stressed to DIAC that thru ID check birth and marriage certs we have proved the chldren are ours but they said NO not good enough!
So we have to take out further insurance to satisfy them and make sure this one states the childrens names!!

Grrrrr

Oh crickey I lodged my 457 this afternoon!!! Looks like it will be a long wait! Does it make any difference if your employment offer letter has a date they want you to start?? My employers put sep 3rd but I didnt think there was a chance in hell of that happening!!!! But the letter was included in the docs I uploaded. Guess its a waiting game now!! Good luck everybody

Xx
