457, How fast do you get it?

[pob]

So we were just about to give up when the company that we were talking to is all of a sudden very interested.

They are talking about fast tracking us over to oz.

So how long does it take to get a 457 visa and how fast is fast tracked?

Just to make sure we are all on the same page 457 is company sponsored visa?

 

Oh and do we have to take a medical or police checks or an English test?

Hi Pob, We got our visas approved today, lodged them on 23/7/12, medicals 30/7/12 approved today 02/8/12

My wife had to have medical as she is a nurse, only need them if your in health care or teaching in schools, and I had to have police check as i was a naughty boy when I was younger lol, so only need them if you have ever been in trouble & no english test if first language is english.[

hope this helps

Yes if the company is already approved with diac to sponsor people, turn around can be quick, I've seen some on here waiting longer there is another thread on here about 457 prossessing times not sure how to link you in to it though...good luck :biggrin:
