Rbt09 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hello, been following this thread for quite sometime now ever since we have decided to apply for the visa. Just want to share my timeline. However, it's just a dependent 457 as my girlfriend is already in Sydney. May 30 - submitted application via MA provided by company June 2 - CO assigned and requested addtl documents June 3 - Xray done June 17 - received visa To all those who are still waiting, it will come soon. God will provide and goodluck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynsey Nicolson Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 quick question, when my employers nomination is submitted is this a seperate timescale or included in the timescale of the 457? Ie, 2months for low risk country for applying or is the nomination time on top of this? I cant find an answer on immi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewbty Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi Lynsey If your agent or whoever submitted the application was worth their salt they would have submitted both the nomination and visa application together. Once the nomination is approved the visa application would then generally be granted the same or next day. If they for some reason submitted them separately then it will take longer for your application to be processed. The current timeframe for being granted a visa on a 'decision ready' application is approx 2-3 weeks. It says 2 months on the immi website, but this is just in case they are severely backlogged. My nomination and visa application was submitted on Mon 23rd so I'm playing the waiting game at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynsey Nicolson Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 thanks @drewbty! I'm assuming that it would be submitted on Monday as our final payment was last friday so there really shouldnt be any reason not to submit! I may leave it a week or so before I hound them to ask. I've questioned everything from day one, just like to know what's going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewbty Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) I believe it's standard practice for the agent to contact you once they submit the application. For the amount of money you pay for the professional services of the agent, and the relative small number of working hours they need to put an application together, you're quite entitled to keep in reasonable contact with them when you require answers. I would ring them right away to see where you're at with the process, and when you do - request that you be contacted my email when there's relevant activity in the immi account once the application is submitted (case office being assigned etc).

Finding it very hard to be patient Good luck with your application! Anna glad I'm not the only impatient one! Another member told me it was about 2-3weeks but that was before the price increase where they see a rise in applications. My nomination and visa were put in together so I'm hoping to hear back by the end of the month. You'll be a little longer as yours are being done separately. its taken months to get to this stage and the last few weeks are the worst part for me!! good luck to you too! All worth it in the long run x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
