Thanks for the comments. Is Moneycorp a Bank or a company used for good transfer rates?? I’ve not heard of OFX, Will look into it. Thanks again [emoji106]

Seeking advice about whom are best to bank with over in West Sydney & who to use for good transfer rates between U.K & Oz ?? (I’ve recently heard some horror stories about Transferwise and freezing transfers)

A fellow colleague received his visa today, His application was lodged 2 weeks ago! He was told 5-10 Months. There’s Hope yet People!

He was told 5-10 Months, Explain that one..

A friend of mine got his Family 457 Visa today From U.K moving to Sydney. Hi Company dealt with it all and lodged his application 2 weeks ago! There’s hope yet! He works on the Rail [emoji106]

Hi Shelley Sorry for the late reply. Yeah I live in Essex U.K. Have you had any news yet?

Really.. That’s Crap! I’m guessing it’s purely circumstantial for each application as some people get there’s a lot sooner than others which don’t make sense to me.. [emoji106]

Is there a way of finding out what the processing times as of the 31/08/17 were for the related visa? I know now it states 5-10 Months but I’m sure it was 2-3 Months when our application was lodged. I’m hoping anytime now! Thanks Tony (Essex U.K)
