mapped Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I've just tried to start the 457 application, but the immi website seems to be playing up today. Hopefully it'll be working properly later. My current timeline: Nomination submitted in Perth on 24th Dec, Approved on 31st Dec. I only found out today due to holidays. EDIT - submitted application on 07/01/13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquimarmstrong Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi, our timeline was application for 457 lodged online on 21st November and granted yesterday. Profession is GP and Mebourne is our destination. Good luck! The Immi site does play up a lot - just persevere is my advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jacqui Congrats! quick question were your eomployers already standard business sponsers or did they have to apply and the process started on 21 November? just trying to get a hold on timescales as we hope to head out in March thanks Kez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquimarmstrong Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The GP practice was experienced business sponsers. We applied for our 457 Visa only when we had received job offer from the sponsor and approval from GP authorities in Aus (i.e AMC and Aphra). All in, the process has taken 8 months from when we first applied for registration as GP in Aus and found a job. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Mo Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi jacq. Good to hear that your visa has been granted so early. Lucky you. Are you done with AMC clinical and PESCI both? I have passed both clinical and pesci and my surgery hired first overseas trained doctor. So they applied for all the 3 things together. Sponsorship and Nomination has been approved and still waiting for my visa grant. All the best and pray for me. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapped Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I woke up this morning with a request from the case officer for more documents, submitted them straight away and I'm now going to bed with our visas having been approved and out grant notification emails sent out. :biggrin: I think I must have got really lucky with our case officer, or it's a slow time of year for them, as this seems lightning fast. I need to get a firm start date from my employer and then I can book our flights to Perth for mid Feb. My timeline for a Computer Network and Systems Engineer in Perth Employer is already a sponsor Nomination Submitted 24/12/13 Nomination Approved 31/12/13 Application Submitted 07/01/14 Application Approved 09/01/14 Good luck to people waiting for news.

ktool Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hi mapped its awesome, Can you please let me know from when you had started process. My employer has started by using some agent on 27th Dec and he told we'll get updates in 45 days. Is it take so long ? Should i ask him for TRN or other thing which i can use to track online ? I had applied for a Web developer in perth. Thanks !!

I had applied for a Web developer in perth. Thanks !! As my employer already sponsors quite a few people the first part of the process was them lodging the nomination on 24th Dec. They didn't need to apply to become sponsors. We didn't use an agent, my employer gave me the TRN once the nomination was approved and I took it from there. I think my case was quite simple, as all we had to do was fill in the application form, upload our documents and buy health insurance, we didn't need any medicals etc. If you can get your TRN I thin it would be useful as you can track the application on the system. I hope it progresses smoothly for you. I've got my start date now and we'll be in Perth on 18th Feb :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktool Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I had talked with employer today. He told he had applied though VSF in sydney and i'll get TRN number once i'll get any reply for medicals. so along with medical i'll get TRN number but it could take upto 45 days. He is already sponserer i guess as he told he has sponsored someone before 2-3 years. so he posted my and his all documents to some agent and agent has posted all documents to embassy on 27th Dec. I am not sure it sounds correct or not after seeing your process. Thanks As my employer already sponsors quite a few people the first part of the process was them lodging the nomination on 24th Dec.

Hayley020273 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hello, I wonder if anyone could help with my question please……I received invite to apply for 489 f/s visa on skillselect, I submitted my visa application on 24 Dec and uploaded all my documents apart from medicals and police checks which I haven't applied for as yet. On the immi-gov application it states print off letter for medicals, does that mean I should apply for medicals now or should I await case officer? Our problem is that we are coming to Perth in January 2015 so didn't want to apply too soon for medicals and police checks as our visa grant date would be dated from the date of our medicals/police checks? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapped Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I am not sure it sounds correct or not after seeing your process. I was expecting a much longer process TBH. Mine might have been quicker as my employer is a large university, so they sponsor a lot of 457's. Also they had been trying to recruit for my post in Aus for a while, so I imagine the nomination was quite straight forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavy Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hi guys I am waiting for my visa from 28 June . Case officer allocated on 20 December . Requested some information , which was provided on 24 December . Still waiting ...:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPinJP Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I have a question on my Immi account though, why does it still say "Attach document" under the actions tab when I have already uploaded the document in the NEXT STEPS table?The progress says, "received" yet there's ATTACH DOCUMENT next to it? I must be silly to ask this but I just wanted to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 JPinJP, I believe that's simply a button to allow you to attach documents if you have any/more to provide. If you've already provided your attachments, you can ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPinJP Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Thanks Maggie, just worried about the delays it may take again if I overlooked attaching documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPinJP Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It's been roughly 3 weeks since I lodged my visa. It could be 2 more weeks hopefully until I get grant--If I ever do. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
