    I think you did the 600 visa for your Dad. The evisitor 651 is different I think, it’s just 1 year, allowed to enter 3 months at a time during that period. I’m not too sure how the 600 works, maybe we should have done that one, not sure what the differences are.

    My Dad’s evisitor (651) got approved today, he applied on 27 Oct! Exemption was already approved, that took 7 days.

    Did you also include your birth certificate (I think you said you were applying on behalf of your parents)? Not 100% sure if it’s required, but I included it, as proof that my dad is a parent of an aus citizen

    No, nothing since the exemption was approved. Seeing other people (like your Dad) who applied way before us, I think maybe we have a while to wait. But hoping it will still be less than 31 days! I have a very similar timeline to you. Exemption was approved after 7 days, still waiting on visa… fingers crossed

    We applied for my Dad's exemption last Thurs 28 Oct, and it was granted yesterday (4 Nov), so it took 7 days. He applied for the 651 visa the day before (27 Oct), no word on that yet.

    Hi @Pillar_85 when did you get your exemption granted? I'm hoping that once that's granted you get priority for the visa application. We appiled for my Dad's exemption last Thurs 28 Oct, and it was granted yesterday (4 Nov), so it also took 7 days. He applied for the visa the day before (27 Oct), so hoping it gets approved soon now.

    Thanks, that’s really helpful regarding the exemption timeline (I did my dad’s last thurs night, fingers crossed it’ll be 7 days too!). I’ve read on another thread in this forum that you are meant to apply for the visa, then the exemption & link the two. And that the visa doesn’t get approved until the exemption is approved. Not sure if that helps at all in your situation.

    Hi, I know this is an old thread, but wondering if anyone has any experience of current proccessing times for the 651 evisitor visa? The immi website says 31 days, but I'm really hoping it will be quicker to get my Dad here at the start of Dec. Thanks

    Hi Paul, do you know what current approval time are like for the 651? is the immi website accurate - 31 days? Seems so long for people hoping to travel for Christmas!
  11. falpat
    That's really interesting, can I ask how long was it between him applying for the first e651 and the rejection?

    Really glad I found this thread as we’re going through the same process with my dad. he applied for the evisitor (651) last night & then did the exemption, although he thinks he missed uploading some docs & isn’t sure they were accepted when he reuploaded. the plan is for him to fly on 8 Dec. But the current wait times are 31 days (for 75% of applications) for the 651 visa. Does anyone have any info on whether this is accurate? really great to hear Clyde114 has seen an exemption processed in 4 days, that gives me hope! if anyone else has timelines/info to share that would be great!

    Hi, I've just been quietly reading. My timeline is in the spreadsheet Nomination & visa application on 3 Sept, no news yet.

    I've just noticed this on the Border.gov.au website, which looks to be new. I'm assuming the new form will only need to be filled in by people applying from now on, but perhaps this is why it is slowing down if they're becoming stricter? On 14 December 2015, new criminal and civil penalties and visa cancellation provisions has been introduced as part of a 'payment for visas' framework that allows for sanctions to be imposed on a person who asks for, receives, offers or provides a benefit in return for visa sponsorship or employment (that requires visa sponsorship).

    Hi, I just have a quick (hopefully) question. My 457 visa was approved on 2 Aug 2013, I was working full time on a contractor basis at that time and then took 2 weeks unpaid leave at the end of August and went onto a full time contract on 2 Sept. Do you know if I have to wait until 2 Sept 2015 to put my application in, or can I start the process on 2 Aug? thanks!
  18. falpat
    Thanks MaggieMay24. So do you just have to wait until it's time to apply to find out what all the questions are? When I did my 457 I was able to get a pdf of the form so I could prepare my answers first. Thanks.

    Hi, does anyone know if there's somewhere you can download/view the forms required for the 186 visa application (and also the nomination)? I'd like to have a look at them to get prepared, but can't find them anywhere. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks. We have enough time to do the training, but we just want to make sure we do it right. They will be reluctant to pay 2% to the TAFE, if they can pay 1% towards training. Do you have a link to any information about the 40%/60% ratio of directors? I haven't seen that anywhere. Also what do you mean by it takes less than an hour to get the documents?? And do you know if training can go towards people who are contractors or work part time? We have a bookkeeper, but she only works around 1 day a fortnight. Thanks!!

    I’m thinking forward a bit and trying to ensure the company I work for meets the training benchmarks for when I go for the 186 via the Transition Stream. The company is really small and when we did the 457 visa we were advised that only Australian residents and Australian citizens were able to have the training. We were also told the directors weren’t able to do the training. This meant that only 1 person in our company was able to do the training. Now that I’m looking into it for the 186 I can’t see anywhere that it specifies that directors can’t do training. I’ve found some places where it says Australian residents and Australian citizens must do the training, but that’s usually in documents relating to the 457. Does anyone have any clarification or immi links that give more details? Thanks!

    My visa got approved on Friday! So happy! Good luck everyone. It's so stressful, but worth it in the end.

    I should have said it's the Sponsorship part I'm checking (stage 1 still!). Think they ask for DOB, passport number etc at stage 3. Update: It seems to have change to requiring the password instead of ABN (I was just entering it wrong). Weird they've done this though!
  24. falpat
    Am I going crazy or has the login to check the 457 application progress changed? It used to be TRN & ABN number to get you in, now it's asking for TRN & password. Neither the ABN or password we originally used works!?
  25. falpat
    The company got a request for more information on the sponsorship stage last week, so at least we know they're looking at it. But still no closer yet! One of my friends, whose company has sponsored before, got hers approved in less than two weeks!
