It's crazy. I did mine through melbourne without an agent, in july, 186 transition, sole applicant, front loaded everything except medicals...visa approved 1st November. I have colleagues that have waited 9 months so far.

Visa granted on Friday 1st November.

186 ENS 457 transition. Application submitted 16th July. Asked for medical 7th October, attended a week later. Granted 1st November.

No agent. Melbourne office.

Very happy!

Thanks duffer. It took me a couple of hours at most (rereading every question a hundred times). Mine was very straightforward. The worst part is filling out form 80, but you don't need to add that or upload your documents straight away....I took a few more days.

If you did your own 457 application you'll have no problems with it.

Good luck

457 transition. Not using an agent.

Employer nomination submitted 9th July.

Application submitted 16th July with all documents.

CO asked for medical 7th October.

Once the medical is completed, how long should I expect before my visa is granted?

Thanks guys, and good luck to everybody.
