AaronJSCarpenter Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hi Mine took a whilst. Take a look at my signature... I was checking the portal every evening and morning religiously. Ours went to the Sydney office but in hindsight it didn't take too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouDYorkie Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Could you show as your timeline?I also have been waiting for 457 for 4 weeks ...so stressful Thxs My timeline is simple so far: 18.06.2013- 457 application submitted by MA No news to date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrozierFamily Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 My waiting time will be 3 weeks tomorrow. But I haven't heard anything at all from the MA-is no news good news? I always like to work from the point of view that no news is good news! Also, the lady has said it is an average of 4 weeks and things are taking a bit of extra time at the moment because so many people tried to get their applications in before the new costs kicked in.

jkm10 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 hi, i lodged my visa on 31st may, had medical on 3rd june and medical results sent on 10th june. i am a nurse, also going on 457 visa. so its about 4weeks since my medical results were sent and i havent heard anything yet. my case officer has said that they are still waiting for medical to be finalised. they have had a lot of applications recently as people were trying to get everything in before 1st july deadline, so they have a huge backlog. i am fed up waiting now. i was originally meant to start on 15th july and was hoping to fly out on 30th june but have had to postpone start date to 5th august, so i really hope the visa is through soon. good luck to everyone. jess x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Employer already sponsors people) best of luck to everyone!! hi, i had to wait 6weeks for the sponsorship/nomination to be granted. my employers are a large hospital in melbourne so have also sponsored people before. my only advice is keep contacting employers to see where sponsorship/nomination is up to. you have still got a wait once sponsorship/nomination is through, ive been waiting 5weeks since i lodged my visa. so not pleased i have been waiting 11wks in total, very frustated. hope its sorted for you soon. jess x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niinstalls Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hi! The MA lodged our application on 24th June 13 and nomination approval came through on the 3rd July. Not heard anything since. Everytime my email pings during the night I get palpitations! Lol x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Has anyone heard anything about your application? Mine submitted on 7 July by MA and its now been 4 weeks and 1 day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samc Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 My nomination was approved in 1 week but been 3.5 weeks since submitted visa application and that's still saying processing commenced :-(, Medicals were finalised day after being done. Doesn't look like they are getting through applications very fast though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouDYorkie Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Thank you for you information. I have been thinking of ringing my CO but worried whether this is going to affect on my application.. I wouldn't think so. If you stalked them, they might put it to the bottom of the pile (or worse if you physically stalk them!!) but it won't harm your case to ask for an update!
