Hi all can someone tell how long does it take to get PCC in Oz. as I live in NSW do I need to apply through courier or in person? one more thing Melbourne office is closer to me just couple of hrs drive, or can I update it later after lodging my visa, I want to travel to India and submit from their one of friend said it's matter of 5mins over their to get the certificate. thanks in advance

Hi all i have doubt I'm on 457 visa now which was granted on 10/4/2015 but started my full time 457 work from 12/5/2015. First I was granted for 1 year visa ie 9/4/2016. applied for 457 visa on 24/3/2016 and granted on 2/8/2016 for 4 years now. in between the 457 visas I was on bridging visa from 10/4/2016 to 1/8/2016 approximately I was on bridging visa for 3.5 months. now my question is can I lodge my ENS after 12/5/2017 which completes my 2 years or experience for same employer on 457 visa or do I need to wait till 2/8/2017 to wait and cover that bridging visa as well ? my fear is from 1/7/2017 immigration is asking for 6.0 each band IELTS. as per the old rules I have 6.5 over all score with 5.5 in 2 modules. reply would be appreciated TIA

Hi G, even I was in the same boat like first 1 year visa then again applied took 4 months to get another 457 visa for 4 years, was about to apply for ENS in may as per my first grant visa date, but my MA said have to work for those 4 months again as I was inn bridgging visa that time it won't cover that 457 visa experience. he said that we can lodge ENS by taking risk , but now a days Migration got bit strict so I said not a problem for me to work for 4 more months, which would be covering all 2 years of work on 457 visa. anyway I'm going on holidays for 35 days. I have not taken any holidays or annual leaves in the last 2 years.

Last year I have applied and got visa in 20 days in March ... This year it's been 4 months now no updates ... Fingers crossed and praying everyday ...

Is any one submitted in April 2016 and got visa approved ... On shore? im waiting from April CO asked further documents in May and submitted in June .... From then no updates... It's renewal of 457 visa same organisation.

I think they are taking more time now a days. hope you get the visa soon.

Congrats ts is it onshore/offshore? did you get nomination and visa same day or different?

Has anyone applied after March and got approved? onshore visa renewal from HR country ( India ), last year I got approved in one month... This year it's been 4 months and no news yet... Fingers crossed and praying
