apickerell Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hello, I already have my 457 visa but I am still not in Australia yet. I became pregnant and had to wait until the birth of my baby. Now we are getting ready to go and plan to leave on Aug 12th. We submitted the visa for the baby on the 7th of July. Here is her timeline. My question is this, Because we submitted the visa already would we be able to get a bridging visa or something to bring her over on while we wait for her visa? Any information is helpful! Thanks!

I'm not sure on a bridging visa but a tourist visa may be an option with her only being a baby they should know she definatly won't be working! Depending on where your visa is being processed there is a number you can ring to check general enquires I would give that a shot and see what they say! Don't understand why it's taking so long for you're daughter I would of thought it was straight forward! Anyway best of luck and hope all works out kepp us updated...

AaronJSCarpenter Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hi guys, whilst we were waiting for our 457 to be approved we were told that they won't approve visas too far in advance from a start date at work. Ben isn't due to start work until August 18th, our visa was lodged beginning of May, they weren't going to look at it until our recruitment agent called them and said he was starting work May. Hang on in there, it's difficult waiting, I had to wait a whilst because I have a criminal record (no prison time - I was given an Absolute Discharge) I kept busy by going through each room of my house and literally stick or twisting with everything. I was brutal!! Half our furniture would look out of place in an Aussie house anyhow. This process definitely makes you less materialistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can anyone plan for a move, what kind of timescales are we talking? Not that I think mine is held up like this, I'm beginning to wonder if it's even been submitted!!

Sarahsara Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I don't this is the case, unless a start date has been put on an application if it was the case surely everyone would put the earliest date so the visa would go threw quicker? Lou why don't u ask for a trn off ur ma? This way you know you're visa has been submitted and can then begin to track the visa. I'm just sending the additional info required then another wait for an answer hopefully not much longer. Still can't believe you have been waiting since may? What job is it you're doing, you're co may have gone on maternity leave or anything so why don't you give them a ring they seem very inconsiderate towards ppl awaiting visas harsh really considering you're life is now in their hands!!

Keep us updated.. hey sarah u absolutely right it feels like they r the gods for us this time and will decide our destiny which is very cruel. I mean the case officer in my case indicated to my agent that they happy to finalise the visa once we send the medicals through and we did in 5 days which is a very good time for getting medicals done concidering its so busy in Melbourne with medicals . so I don't understand we submitted everything in 5 days y aren't they approving it. I check mt trn status everyday n its the same nothing changed . so sad and depressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubbs75 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I've just received an email from my MA that even though the sponsorship and nomination been approved in June, DIAC now review it again so getting loads of papers from my sponsor I hope the outcome will be positive. So maybe that's the reason why you guys got no news either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouDYorkie Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Okay Sarahsara, I've asked for the TRN from the MA, see if I can see where we are up to. Any news for you? X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
