Good luck guys . Hope you all get visa very soon .

I am waiting for my visa from 28/6/13 .

GOD bless you all . Take care.

This is my last post here . Because I realize no one EVEN looked my post . I think because I am waiting from 1 year .

 

I think I am not a part of this conversation anyone . Thanks

Hi Pavy,

I'm really sorry that you've been waiting for a long time.

May I ask if a case officer has been assigned to your application?

Hi guys,

A case officer has been assigned to my visa application on May 20th, haven't heard anything from them since then.

Has anybody been granted 457 visa recently?

Please keep us informed!

All the best

so how do I find out if a case officer has been assigned? also is it up to my Agent to request Priority Processing as I am due to start on July 2nd?

They'll send you an email indicating a case officer has been assigned

Wow, can't believe this. Our case officer was allocated yesterday and approved our visa on the same day!

What a shock it was to wake up to this morning!! Am in full panic mode now as I have a million and one things to sort / arrange and flights to book for about three weeks time.

 

MJ7739 my boss has hounded the immigration emergency email and phone number everyday for the last 7 days, so have clearly had enough of her. Haha

I hope you hear real soon. Please keep us updated.

 

 

Good luck to everyone else too.

That's really good news!!! I'm very happy for you:jiggy:

I hope mine shows up real quick,too!

Yeah I think we're in similar situations. The company employing me are running the risk of losing contracts if I'm not able to start on the 23rd June. I think when they agreed to start dates with these contracts they thought the 457 process would be much simpler and quicker than it actually is.

It turns out since I posted that my boss has applied for priority processing, so hopefully we will both hear soon. Very stressful as fearful that my job offer could be rescinded if these contracts fall though....

So, do you know if a case officer has been appointed to your application?

Hi MJ7739

 

How did you request priority processing? I totally missed that when I did my application. I wonder if it is something I can request now?

 

Thanks

Hi Bestyblue,

The fact is that I really need to be in Australia ASAP as I've got a deadline to meet in three weeks.

And yes, I guess in case you are stuck in the same situation as I am, meaning you've got something reasonable to request priority processing, you could put it forward.

Hi guys,

I'm currently waiting for a 457, and have been told that the usual processing time is going to be 10-21 days. please let us know if anything happened with your cases.

Hi Colly,

Do you know if your priority request has been accepted?

Hi All

 

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

Hi everybody,

my agent has submitted the application on Tues 20 May and at the same time we have requested priority processing, which has been accepted and apparently a case officer has been appointed after two days.

Does anyone have any idea how long it's gonna take for the visa to be granted, considering the fact that my priority processing request has been accepted?
