How is it was the flight ok? Haha, that's exactly how I felt. Enjoy it! Yeah, landed 10 days ago, loving it so far. Flight was great, but I flew business class so I had plenty of space and a flat bed to sleep on. I've done the flight from London to Perth a few times in economy though and whilst it's tedious and can get a bit uncomfortable, it's not all that bad. It's absolutely worth it when you arrive, at least I've always thought so. Best of luck with getting everything organised - the fun really starts now!

MaggieMay24 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 where do i find my nomination approval reference number ? You'll need to get this from your sponsor since any communication about the nomination would go to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rink Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hi All, How many people have been sponsored on a 457 before arriving ? The reason i ask is, I've sent my CV out to a few companies over the last few days. Had lots of positive response and replies, which really shocked me! Only thing I think might be a problem is that i'm asking for a sponsorship on a 457, do you think companies still would go for that ?

shirish Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 submitted required documents today .. hope will get result soon Hi All, I applied for 457 visa on 23 Dec along with my dependent, completed Medicalss on 27 Dec. Till last week there was no progress inside ImmiAccount. Last week suddenly the document list was updated with Received status. Visa application status is still InProgress. Does anyone know why it took such a long time to get the document status reflected in ImmiAccount? I submitted the documents on 23 Dec itself. Heard somewhere that if someone has travelled on a US visa before then there would be delays while getting AU visa. Not sure if this is the reason behind this huge delay, close to 10 weeks now. Any idea/pointers on this will be very helpful. This wait time is very frustrating. :frown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakti26may Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hi shrish, I have also applied for 457 on 5th Jan 2014 along with my dependent, For me also it is showing In Progress from last 1.5 month. This wait time is killing me. God knows, what is going on in Australian Immigration. One of my friend who applied after me with no dependent got his visa granted on 27th Feb 2014. For how many years you have applied your 457 visa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For how many years you have applied your 457 visa? We have applied for 4 years, not sure whats going on? It looks like dependent is the reason behind this delay. Did you try contacting DIBP?

aussie Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Two to three months, depending on whether you are from a high or low risk country is normal...see the immi website for processing standards. We have also been waiting for over 2 months...but, we are from a high risk country. Where are you from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
