Hi there, Your application will most likely be in the processing centre in the state that your husband's head office resides. That's how it usually works. Not always though. Ask the employer for the TRN. You are entitled to have those details. Do you know if your nomination has been approved yet? Once you have the TRN you can create an immi account and see the status. It won't affect the application you're just viewing it. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

'Processing' and 'Assessment in progress' if memory serves. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

Annna please contact the Dept. either by phone or the 457 contact email address. Reiterate that your application is now outside the declared processing timeframes and you want to request an urgent update on the exact status of the application.

Congratulations Nina Na!!

See?? You and me kidda, sorted the same week!!!! Huge congratulations!

Haha! Yeah in 2 years when we apply for PR! Thanks mate x

Brisbane certainly seems to have a long wait associated with it at the moment. I believe that legislative changes to 457 visa has made it a more rigorous process. Maybe it's that causing the problem? Parramatta were quick last time round but that was 4 years ago.

Thanks guys. The timelines are 8 weeks 6 days. HOWEVER! I chased this application, and both myself and my MA sent emails of complaint due to it being dragged out. It was hand held through the last few hurdles so not a normal processing at all. This application should have taken a few weeks at most to be honest. It was a second application and low risk. Brisbane appear to have a backlog, and they spoke of tighter checks being implemented resulting in a slowdown for all visa classes.

Visa granted last night!!!!!

Yes, things are back on track.

Only in Melbourne mate. All the other offices will be open.

You're onshore? I wouldn't worry. Looks like there's a lot of applications in at the moment. If you're already in Australia and are covered under another existing or bridging visa, they'll be aware and deal with it accordingly. That's my guess for what it's worth!

We're going to be in The Ponds docksboy. I'm so glad you're loving it! I'm going to be based in North Sydney. What line of work are you in?

Hmmm... looks good for Melbourne based peeps then. I guess the brisvegas crew are doomed to wait! Ho hum... another week [emoji20] Has anyone had a grant from Parramatta lately? I'm heading to Sydney, but got shipped to the Brisbane Centre.

Congrats Pags, I hope this sets a trend! Safe travels [emoji2]
