Hi Tracy, glad the site has been of help. You are very brave letting your husband go on ahead. Not sure how I'd cope, although we may end up in the same position if the house isn't sold before he gets a job.
I think the 457 visas are a bit quicker than some of the other ones, but it will still be a few months. Hang in there and we're here for you to vent when needed!:)

Hi Tracy
I'm out here as de facto on my o/h's 457, we applied at the end of April, my boyfriend's visa was granted mid may, but i had to provide evidence that we'd been together as long as we said, joint bank accounts statements etc, mine was granted 2 weeks later. As you're married with kids your application should go through pretty quickly & as other people have said the 457 process is usually quicker than most other visas.
I know it's hard feeling like your lifes on hold but it'll come through for you, it's a waiting game for a while but then everything happens so quickly.
Thank you so much for writing Kim,
We have now been given a case worker, so not to sure how long it takes from there, you are so right about it been a waiting game, its DOING my head in, but will get there in the end, what part of oz are you in, my husband is in Bunbury near Perth.
JUST WANTED TO WELCOME YOU TO 'PIO'. I HOPE IT WON'T TAKE TOO LONG!
WHAT AN AMAZING WOMAN YOU MUST BE TO BE ON YOUR OWN WITH THE GIRLS. I'M SURE IT IS JUST AS HARD FOR YOUR OH BEING APART FROM YOU ALL TOO.
AT LEAST YOU'LL HAVE FRIENDS AND COMFORT FROM THIS SITE NOW. I FIND IT BRILLIANT!
