I know! Pretty impressed as I did it myself instead of using an MA, I was so worried I would have missed something.

I'm so excited I don't know what to do with myself!

My last application 3 years ago from visa lodge to approval took only 9 days.

Same sponsor, same destination, don't know what took so long this time.

 

But from this forum, it seems destination to Queensland were all delayed.

 

Anyone to Queensland got approved less than 8 weeks here ?

Hi Samson,

 

You are moving to where as a what?

 

Also, isn't the reference part of form 80? What were the requirements you had to submit for stage 3?

 

 

I am currently in Perth working as a photocopier technician and being sponsored as that, but they use me more as a production printer tech so it's more skilled apparently.

 

I have just been asked to prove my experience and skills. I uploaded a couple of references and payslips. My qualifications don't really match my trade so not sent them in. Ive been doing the job for 7 months here is Oz so I am hoping it all goes through ok.

My nomination was approved this morning!!!! Can't describe the feeling of relief it's been so long I thought it would never happen!!

Timeline

Nomination applied 5th May

Further info request 9th July

Now just wait for the visa but we feel we can actually start packing now as I don't live near my family, finish everything up here and then spend quality time with them!

Hi Prita, so sad to hear about your refusal. Training Benchmark should be 1% of total wages of company for last 12 months. It should be paid for Australian employee to be trained. Its one of requirements for nomination application your MA should know this.

 

One of my friends nomination was refused because company didn't pay training benchmark. His employer paid the training benchmark And reapplied with 21 days and got nomination approved after 3 months.

Do I need to create a new immi account??

 

Hey!

Yes you need to create a new immi, your sponsor has a separate one that you can not see.

Use your TRN number to set it up!

Make sure you have organised all the documents you need to upload as some may take some time to get.

Fill out your application and when happy submit. You can save the application and go back to it later if you want to submit right away. You will be asked to pay for your visa at the point of submitting the application.

Once your application is received you can start uploading your documents.

Also on the left hand side there will be a tab for health assessments, click on that and print off the generated referral letter for your medical, this will have the HAP ID on it which is used by the hospital/immi to electronically submit/view your results.

After all this it's a waiting game....

Good luck!

Thanks so much! Can I set up an immi account now? I'm in the office but the documents are at home. Do you think I can just submit the docs tomorrow ?

 

Yeah you can set it up now! You have time to upload your documents so don't panic. They don't look at your application for ages really but you don't want to be caught out if they try to process quickly!

No problem!

I submitted:

Degree certificate- I also attached a certified copy, I wasn't sure if a normal copy was ok.

Degree transcript

Post grad course transcript

Birth certificate- must be sent in colour

CV

IELTS- you don't need IELTS if you are from uk but I just did it as it was easier than gathering all my school certificates)

Job offer- I attached the letter of offer sent by my employer

Registration document- as I am a registered nurse I attached proof of my Australian licence. I'm not sure if you would have to do a skills assessment in other professions.

Health insurance letter- so if you arrange your health insurance you have to tell them it's specifically for a 457 visa and they should have a template that they will email to you. I went with Bupa. Very helpful!

Passport ID page- in colour

Work references- last 5 years

International police check report- I used fit2work for this as I needed it for my nursing registration. Double check if you need a police report- i read in other posts it was being requested so I just attached it to save being held up.

 

Hope this helps!
