kevin7417 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Congrats Kevin! Gosh I'm still waiting for mine!!! Just a few questions: 1. May I know your occupation and where are you headed to? 2. Did they approve of your visa application or is it just for the nomination? 3. What sort of medicals? I thought it was just chest xray? Thanks! 1. I'm Finance Broker and heading to Sydney. 2. Just Nomination Approved. Now waiting for visa approval. 3. Normal exams, nothing special, no blood test. Some pp has only chest xray but some other would asked to take health examination. I dont really get it. Maybe it depends on country or area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgqs Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Thanks. I am headed to Sydney too as an Account Manager. Mine was lodged on May 5 with additional info submitted on June 22. So far it is still in "progress." I can't believe that it is taking too long. My colleague's application last year only took 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niknikniknik Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi Nikki, I'm not using an MA too. Lodgment done on 14JUL (SYDNEY, NSW). It also says no further action required for Medical. Current status still showing received.... Hoping and praying it will come out soon. Really frustrating waiting for some action! Fingers crossed they don't ask for further information. I emailed the 457 address last night and the automated response With current processing times said it take up to 50 working days to be allocated a CO before the advised 8 weeks processing time. i lodged my application from the UK, hope that doesn't delay it. nikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far it is still in "progress." I can't believe that it is taking too long. My colleague's application last year only took 3 weeks. As you can see above, there're cases that took 4 months for nomination only. I feel a bit luck cause my nomination took 3 months n a week I wouldn't be surprised if my visa takes another 3 months @_@ Anyway, keep your finger crossed and fighting man. There's light in the other side of tunnel ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niknikniknik Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Harriet- yeah it was approved on the 17th of June according to my employer. Does that make it quicker?! Haha just want to hear anything positive! nikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha just want to hear anything positive! nikki No idea! It seems there can be lots of different factors. How come you left such a long time between nomination approval and putting in the visa application? The waiting period would probably only count from when you submitted the visa but atleast your nomination has been approved. Next step should be grant, it just depends where in the queue it is or who's desk it ends up on? I've been quite unlucky with my timeframes unfortunately so id hate to get someone's hopes up when I know how it feels to wait a very long time. Try to prepare yourself for a wait just incase. Been 16 weeks and still no word on my nomination (after 9 weeks wait employer was asked for further info) still waiting [emoji20] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to attach my AHPRA registration in principle letter as proof of my skill. Oh no you have waited so long, hopefully your nomination and visa will be granted at the same time.

uknurse Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hi everyone, been following this thread for a while and found it really helpful thank you. I thought I would share my positive experience. My 457 application took 5wks in total which seems really quick after reading some other posts. I'm a Nurse and already in Australia so I applied onshore and did not use a MA. I did however triple check my application and made sure I attached every piece of evidence on the application checklist and included extra information. For example under qualifications I attached my degree but also included a transcript of training from my Uni. Here is my timeline: 19th July - application submitted 21st July - asked to attend medical (medical exam, cxr, blood tests) 22nd July - attended medical 25th July - medical results uploaded to immi account and cleared later that day 23rd August - visa granted 13th step - start new job wehey! Good Luck to everyone still waiting or about to apply. It can sometimes go smoothly x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Chowder, From the reply of IMMI to you, do they mean your nomination or your visa application ? Did your nomination go through a MA? 從我的iPhone使用Tapatalk 發送 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your nomination go through a MA? 從我的iPhone使用Tapatalk 發送 I think it will be for both as the nomination is not yet approved too. Here is the complete reply: "Your application will be assessed this week." "The nomination that was lodged on your behalf is still outstanding. We will not be able to progress your application until the nomination is finalised" My HR didn't use an MA. She lodge the nomination on her end and I lodge the Visa. So I'm happy about the "to be assessed this week" note but worried about the "nomination is still outstanding" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgqs Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Thanks! Yeah I suppose it really takes a lot of time. I feel like if it's finance related, it takes longer than the rest. Not sure but it's just my observation. Did you fill out any forms for stage 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
