Hi siebzzehn
am new in this forum , i'm in the same boat as you guys , my application has been lodged 11/1/2016 , i submitted all the documents including Form 80's , application lodged by MA , i'm an Egyptian working in Saudi Arabia , they didn't ask for Medical check , and from the time the application lodged the status has not been changed from "Application Received"
My question to
siebzzehn
where are you from ? and what countries did you visit and required to get a police clearance from there ? i know that they requesting these police clearance when you apply for PR , but it is my first time to hear that it is required for 457 Visa , and i think it is a little bit related to your native countries or the countries that you have worked in during the last 10 years
