457 was granted today:jiggy: Its only taken 3 months of nothing from immi

Hi, just wondering if anyone has used KPMG to obtain a 457? Its been a long and drawn out process to get where we are now but im wondering if thats down to KPMG or my employer My employer aggreed my transfer from UK to Melbourne in August last year. The visa application was finaly submitted at the end of Feburary. I've now been informed employer nomination has been approved. Shouldnt that have been done when they decided on the transfer? May be its just me being impatiant probably because i should have been there 2 weeks ago and had F1 tickets Thanks

Hi, i've also recently been to Medmigration at the bridgewater. The appointment was made on the tuesday for the following friday. School holidays are busy times. We were in and out before our appointment time. We're on a 457 and was decided bloods and xray were not required.

Hi all, I've secured a job in Melbourne CBD with a start date of 2nd March 2015. My employer is sponsoring the 457 visa and is using KPMG for managing the visa process at their expense and have also been allocated a fund for flights, removals etc. Having never been to Oz at all I've decided on going out first so i can secure somewhere to rent before the wife and 2 kids (9,5) join me. I'll be staying with familiy in the south west of Melbourne. For now I'm looking at flights in mid-feb and return to pick up the family 2-3 months later. But do i go for economy or premium economy? First and business class are out of the question. Whats the difference between the classes apart from double the price? We're looking for a 4 bed house with double garage around the hoppers crossing area. I need to be near a train station to get to work although i could always cycle but the storage cages are currently full. I hope there's storage available at work. Cycling to the station then includes areas like Point cook but there only seems to be one road in and out. Is there anyone on here around that area? It would be nice to be within 10Km of the CBD to cycle in everyday. As for removals we're looking to use a move cube or two. We dont have alot to move and a container would be just transporting air. I probably have more garage tools than actual furniture to move. It would be good to hear any first hand experiance from anybody that have been or are in a similar boat. Cheers Rob
