Long time lurker, first time poster here
On my 2nd 457 visa now and have my PR 186 ENS application in. Employer nominated me 26/6/17 and the application was the next day. Completed health checks and police records submitted today all clear, now its just a waiting game! Heard nothing yet but hope to hear something over the next couple of months.
Im in a similar position to you guys by looks of things. From a LR country, marketing specialist, just myself on the visa.
Not had the nomination approved yet and no CO allocated. Frustrating as Im worried about a restructure a work thats coming down. Be just my luck!
Keep us posted if you get allocated a CO and good luck!
