BehzadBB Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Hi there, I applied for a postdoc position (temporary skilled work visa, 457) on 1st August and my notification of approval of a nomination was submitted a month later. So, I’m on hold for about 140 days! Meantime, I sent 3 emails to 457@border.gov.au, but they told me my application is undergoing mandatory internal checks. I’m somehow concerned about it. This long processing time is normal? With many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistachevert Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Long time lurker, but created an account today as I wanted to share my good news with someone. I think I may have broken the record... I lodged my 457 application on 21/12/16, uploaded my evidence on 22/12/16 (because the immi webpage wasn't working for me on the 21st), and got my visa granted on 22/12/16!! To be fair, I am from and am living in low-risk countries, and I got a job offer that starts on 16/1/17. And I've got no dependents. I would like to think is still possible that they are still processing today applications today, so good luck and happy holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
