What is the status of your documents inside ImmiAccount? I filled for the Visa on 23 Dec and document list inside ImmiAccount was updated with Received status only on 26/28 Feb. Any idea what could be the reason behind this 2 month delay in the document status? May be visa team from my company forgot to upload the documents in Dec??

 

What is the status and date of your documents inside ImmiAccount??

Hello everyone,

 

I had been on a 457 visa for a year or so until my employer started having financial issues and started downsizing. So I was laid off but luckily I managed to find another Melbournian sponsor and since they're a rather large company, they were already an approved business, so their HR directly lodged a nomination. Now, I cannot commence work until the nomination is approved, but it has been almost 3 weeks and still no word from immigration!

 

I think the rule that sacked visa holders cannot work for another company until the new nomination is approved is pretty bad since someone like me has to sit around and be not allowed to work and have no income for an unknown amount of time. I hope they improve it for future visa holders.

 

Anyhow... has anyone seen any progress in their application lately? My new company has applied online and I cannot see the progress as it's under their ImmiAccount, but I was told we still don't have a case officer allocated.

 

P.s. my previous nomination took 12 days to be approved.

I had gone through exactly the same situation. It was indeed very frustrating.

 

My case took exactly 5.5 months. The reasons, after I finally had got my visa and had a much better and clearer mind to think about them, were 1-I didn't have enough "luck" and 2-not good luck again. :what:

 

My application came into the system after the highest peak of all time, last June... And it was with the busiest processing center, Melbourne... And then my employer's sponsorship status expired before I was allocated a CO... So, processing time was doubled, mostly because the sponsorship renew application came in after the visa and nomination so everything was put on hold waiting for it...

 

Anyway, you'll find it's worth at the end. Good luck guys!

 

I am still waiting for visa from 28 June 2013

Hi guys,

 

Just looking for peoples opion on my visa situation, i have taken job in brisbane with a big company who use a large immi company in Australia.

I am currently in the UK waiting for the 457 visa to be granted, about 2 weeks ago the agent came back said immigration had requested my partner does a chest X-ray, we did this about 2-3 days later and the hospital advised us the system would be updated that night for Immigration in OZ

.................in OZ to check. Does anyone know how long i should be expected to wait for it to hopefully be granted after the x-ray?

Also is there anyway we can track the progress online? We haven't been given any form of reference number or anything from the agent?

 

Job is as a head chef, visa has been lodged for just over 4 weeks. I am english, so not high risk or anything.

 

Any help would be great, cheers!

cannot say how much time will take for desicion but normally its about week time. .

 

Please do take any refrence id or trn number from your agent. You should have details of your case ....

 

Same thing happen with me. Agent is not providing any proof that case is lodged . Though I am insisting him to give me some details but he said have to wait for couple days ..

 

Cheers...
