That is good to hear. My daughter's application was acknowledged on 9th April (no further questions asked), so that gives us a date of 9th July for a 'normal' date for a result. I think perhaps, come the end of June, she should give them a ring. The nudge may help if your experience is anything to go by. Thanks for the response.

From what I read on here, professional VETASSESS takes 12 /13 weeks, whereas trades are very much quicker. As my daughter is in the professional category, she can expect the longer wait. I think she has accepted that now - roll on July!
-
Congratulations!
-
Not far off. Took them 10 weeks for my daughter-in-law - no complications just time waiting. She finally got hers yesterday.
-
After 10 weeks, my daughter-in-law was finally granted her 457 Visa. At last!!!!
-
Congratulations!! How long did it take from when you submitted your VETASSESS?
-
My daughter in law was worried, until she checked with HR. They forgot to tell her that immigration asked a few questions last week - about the company, not her. They apologised and said they expected to hear end of next week as it was just minor stuff. The wait goes on.!!!!!

Congrats

The waiting game is a stressful one. As they didn't actually contact her for more info, I am assuming it is moving along nicely and that - being positive - she will get news soon.
-
My daughter was advised that her vetassess application was complete on 9th April. She has now been advised that it has moved to 'processing'. What does that mean?
-
Any news as yet?

Any news?

Good to hear they can be quick too.

As you have applied recently, I think your experience is relevant. It seems that there is a seasonal variation, and if she is unlucky enough to get an immigration officer that takes a holiday (I have been told) it sits on his or her desk until he/she gets back!

My daughter-in-law's company applied for a 457 for her over three weeks ago now. Is it a bad sign that she hasn't heard anything yet? Like ricballi, I am looking for the answer 'How long does a 457 take when applied for onshore?' Any help would be appreciated.

Your mother-in-law sounds amazing. I do hope she gets through. Surely they would not ask her to leave at that age? Would she have somewhere, someone to go to in the worst case scenario? Is is possible for you to lodge a payment with the government to cover perceived medical expenses if they intend to turn her down?

Thanks Bit deflated about it but hey ho!
-
Ah well, another route blocked. Thanks

I am 60, but I have the qualifications and experience to go for State sponsorship.
-
That's just rubbish!!! They are the law on all this - and they can't stand by their advice. Very poor indeed.
-
No, we only got one sheet (a letter) saying we have been granted bridging visas - together with a receipt for payment. Maybe that will come tomorrow.
-
Thanks for that link. Worth reading. I have been told to consult a migration expert. Don't immigration themselves make themselves available?
-
We just one side on a A4 sheet, with references to online papers such as 1024i, which covers all scenarios rather than ours in particular. That's why I came on here. Not sure it can be the same deal as on a 457, as you are tied to just one employer on that visa. I suspect that is not the case on a parent visa.
-
Very happy to see the bit about work. But our letter didn't contain this line at all. Please note a Bridging Visa A will only come into effect when any other visa held expires. The applicant must therefore abide by any conditions of their current substantive visa. so, we assumed it was an 'A'.
