Recommended Posts

Hi Mo Mo and Pavy

I m a doctor, going to work as a GP in rural Victoria. I have got my medical registration in Sept.

Now still waiting for 457 visa approval.

Have you got any idea why it is taking too long?

It is really frustrating. All my friends who applied for 457 got the visa granted within 6 weeks.

Where are you going to work in Australia? In which office, is your visa being processed? Mine is in Melbourne office.

If you got any information, please keep me updated?

Wish you good luck!!!

Best Regards,

Ko Ko

I was trying to look for some time frame on the Sponsorship part alone, here's what I found https://www.emigra.com/emigra-country-profile/australia/. According to them, each part of the application is around 6-8 weeks. Note that all the parts can be lodged at the same time. But if they are lodged sequentially then it can take up to 18-24 weeks. It looks like I will need to wait at least 1 more week for my sponsorship part to be sorted out... tired...:confused:

Dear KoKo,

Any updates on your side? I am still waiting yet.

Do you have your nomination and sponsorship approved?

Have you been contacted by CO for any further information and given 28 days timeframe for that?

I was asked by the case officer for further details and my status was updated on 3/12 saying 'Information received'.

No idea how long it will take further as its already been 14 weeks.

Fingers crossed and all the best.

I can understand your feeling. I am doctor by profession and my position is in Victoria.

Hope we will hear some good news soon.

Do you have some idea if both nomination and sponsorship are done n 28 days timeframe is over then how much time do they take further?
