Dean74 10 Posted August 1, 2012 Mine were referred the same day. I'm getting tired of checking the status page myself. I'm *hoping* it happens sometime this week, but it doesn't seem likely at this point... I think my mind would be in a bigger turmoil if this site did not exist, it is at least a little reassuring to know others are in the same boat!!:eek: Agent 12/08/11, IELTS 03/09/11 - overall 8.5 17/09/11, TRA sent 11/11/11 - Rec. 28/11/11 - successful outcome 10/04/12!! .

Danda 10 Posted August 3, 2012 Got my visa today I need to enter Australia before 02/08/2013, i.e. they gave me one year from the moment of medicals finalisation, not from the moment of taking examinations. EMhinds, if the question is addressed to me, I had applied for 175 visa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sarahdawson86 10 Posted August 3, 2012 Hi all, I haven't posted on this thread in a while but wanted to share some good news. I got my 457 visa approved yesterday! applied 21/6, medical 26/6, referred 9/7 , finalised 26/7 and final approval 1/08. ( just in time as booked flights 13/8) I called my CO a few days after the status changed to finalised on e- tracker, and she processed the rest of my visa same day. This does seem to suggest it is GH, and not the CO which changes the status, as she had not noticed that they were finalised, and not taken further action until I called. Just a thought. Best of luck to those still waiting, I hope you all hear soon as those sleepless nights are really awful. Hope you hear soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jaycris Posted August 3, 2012 Well, megawatts, two things. 1 - at least there's some movement. 2 - I think it should speed up because your case is already being processed and not in queue. =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best of luck to those still waiting, I hope you all hear soon as those sleepless nights are really awful. Hope you hear soon Congratulations on getting your visa! I've just checked and prgress the referreal is now showing as 'finalised' for all 3 of us so I shall wait (impatiently!) until tuesday and then e-mail my CO as he's been very good so far at responding and fingers crossed he'll make a (positive) decision at that point! It was the silliest thing we were referred for anyway so has been worth chasing the medical panel Dr to send further info which he apparently did on the weekend!
