Visa granted - whoooohoooooo!

Thanks mate!

We have been struggling since December...hopefully our visa will come through soon! We have sold our house and need to be out by the 29th of April!

Congratulations!!!

Two to three months, depending on whether you are from a high or low risk country is normal...see the immi website for processing standards. We have also been waiting for over 2 months...but, we are from a high risk country. Where are you from?

Omw! Lucky friend.... we've been waiting more than 2 months!

Really not sure....have not heard of this before

Sponsorship approved today, one step closer!

Hi nikhil777, maybe you should ask them to resend it and confirm the email address with them...

Hopefully we will get some good news this week!

Hi All Please join the conversation if you are currently waiting for 457 visa approval! :chatterbox:

Any updates? Everyone still waiting for approval?

Hi We are from South Africa, submitted our nomination application on 23 Dec and the visa on 4 Jan...nothing approved as yet. We are also looking to go to Sydney... So the long wait continues :confused:

Congratulations! We are still waiting...seems like the processing times differ a lot between high and low risk countries. It has been 7 weeks since our nomination was lodged....

Hi Pinkypiglet Our nomination appl was also lodget on 23/12/2013...haven't heard anything from immi to date...I really do not understand the processing times! Some people's visa applications get approved within a day or two and others wait for months.

Hi Pinkypiglet And the waiting continues....:rolleyes: When did the company lodge the nomination application?

When did you lodge your application? I've heard of may people who never knew that their CO was appointed... Not sure if it should be certified...most people however sign and scan their contracts and email it to the prospective employer...so it would not be original and thus it cannot be certified. Good luck! Sure everything will go well! :wink:

Any news? :chatterbox:

Congratulations on the approval!!! :biggrin: Is it normal for a nomination to take this long? Our nomination was lodged on 23 December 2013.....

And the waiting game continues...:wacko:

Hi Pinkypiglet, we are planning to go to Sydney...the waiting is driving us insane!:biggrin:

Hi everyone! We are also busy with our 457 visa application. Nomination lodged on 23 December 2013 and visa application lodged on 4 January 2014.....both of these have not been approved as yet..... Glad to see that we are not the only ones waking up early every morning to check our emails!
