Is there any up to date information regarding the 457 to PR transition for current visa holders? My 457 visa was granted August 2016 therefore I won't be able to apply before the March 2018 changes.

Thanks

Hi MarshallR,

I didn't submit those forms. I followed the check list as per the link: https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/457-/Temporary-Work-(Skilled)-visa-(subclass-457)-document-checklist-for-visa-applicants

My employer has sponsored a few people previously so I'm not sure if that helps with the process.

Hi dgqs - I applied under Architectural Draftsperson

Good luck with your applications.

Good news - visa granted today. I was a bit worried as I didn't use an agent and prepared the application without assistance. I was thorough with submitting a complete application in order that no further info would be required.

Timeline:

457 applied onshore (Melbourne) and I'm from UK: 26th July 2016

Nomination Approved: 16th August 2016

Visa granted: 17th August 2016

Hey Gavin - Congrats on your nomination approval. Could you please provide me the link to check for nomination status. Using my immi account I can only check for my application status I guess. Thanks in advance.

Hi iAMUser, my employer informed me of the nomination approval, we're not using an agent. As far as I know there isn't a way for us to check it.

Application submitted 26th July, employers nomination submitted the week before.

Nomination was approved today (16th August), does anyone have any idea how long I should expect to wait between nomination approval and my visa being granted (should they require no further info)? Applying onshore and from a LR country.

Thanks,

Gavin
