My application is for Melbourne office.

 

We lodged our 457 on the same date in Melbourne, but haven't even heard back about a medical!

 

Congratulations on getting much further though!

Ive been waiting since the 11th of July and I haven't heard anything. We didn't use a agent and my company haven't sponsored anybody before, not sure if that's why it's taken so long. Maybe might be time to start pulling my hair out...

That's really scary. Which city did you lodge your visa in, @pavy, @admiral0001, @Karlosvandango, @David Ng and @Wesso1715? I wonder if different cities have different processing speeds?

Our next step from this point was our Case Officer contacting us via email to ask further questions, which wasn't updated on the website as another step.

Are you sure they haven't sent you an email thats gone to your junk mail?
