Hi gabgab. To collate what I now think, thanks to the responses above and other research ... No, your current employer is not informed She doesn't need to do anything, it's up to your new employer to get the new nomination I've been told a few weeks for nomination to be transferred, but that might depend on how efficient your new employer is Good luck!

True, but I have a 457 with 3 years remaining and I can change sponsors

Hihi I'm on a 457 and have a new employer lined up who is also a 457 sponsor. My new employer is applying to nominate me right now. Apparently that will take a few weeks to process (anybody know and more?). I have a one month notice period so I'm thinking that if I resign then the new nomination will be ready by about the time I actually leave. That is my preference, so I don't have to work another month after the nomination approval period. Is there any risk to resigning now, or should I wait until the new nomination is all done? Is the transfer a formality, or could it not happen? Thanks a lot!
