Paul Dobinson Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Hey all, we we are now at 17 weeks and still not had nomination approval. I'm low risk but wife is high risk. We are going crazy. Anyone waiting as long as this or longer? Should we be hedging our bets and assuming we might get a no. Company has sponsored before. Anything we can do? many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got told 12 weeks from my MA. Has your company sponsored before? And what occupation? I don't think these questions are really relevant but I'm just curious with your MA stating you will be waiting that long... I've been under the impression 2 months for low risk 3 months for high risk but there does seem to be some major back log as some people posting on this thread are well Over the threshold Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about 7 week they took to grant the visa.. I don't know the standard time right now to approve the visa but I think max timeframe is 2-3 month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KE11MCD Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hey guys I have been following the thread for a while now and would like to tell my story. I am currently working in Oz and my company are sponsoring me for the 457 Visa, they have never sponsored anyone before and I am wondering if this will effect the nomination approval time? I am from the UK, currently onshore Oz and the nomination and visa application were both submitted on 31/5/16 Has anyone went through the process with an employer how has never sponsored anyone before and would share their experience? what timescales are we looking at? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Same here! Except I'm offshore still in UK Has your employers SBS been approved? I can't really give you any advice as I'm doing this for the first time also but I've read every page of this thread and I don't think because they are a new sponsor it effects the nomination/visa approval time. My employer has been asked for more information regarding the nomination today- to prove that she needs another staff member It's only a small business we are applying for (I'm an assistant manager in hairdressing) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docksboy40 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 The company needs to become a Standard Business Sponsor and be approved before any nomination or visa application can be submitted. The company can do this online but it can take a while as they have to provide a lot of information. Once they have been approved nominations and visa applications can be submitted and the normally processing time applies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prita Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 this is the first time my employer sponsoring, i have no idea whether this is the cause of delay, however, i asked my agent abt the processing time again n this is her reply "The immigration website mentions the 457 visa processing time as 3 months. However, we have witnessed an increase in it, it is approximately taking 4 months on average. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it that must be dealt with already as my nomination and Visa Application have been lodge - its all getting done through a Visa Agent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieMay24 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Your employer could submit the SBS, nomination and application all on the same day if you wanted to speed the process along. But if you wait for the SBS to be approved first, that would add at least a month or two for that to be processed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prita Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 does secondary applicant's qualifications matters in 457 visa, or do they assess the qualification documents of secondary applicant also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docksboy40 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) does secondary applicant's qualifications matters in 457 visa, or do they assess the qualification documents of secondary applicant also? They only assess the primary applicant, the other members if part of the same 457 visa (I'm presuming family?) do not have to have any qualifications.

prita Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 our MA lodged SBS on 17th May n nomination and visa lodged on 30th may, but now MA says that secondary applicant qualification documents are required no compulsory but recommended....so just wondering tht why after lodging visa app she is asking for docs.

I came as "de facto" partner and didn't have to provide any qualifications, well apart from proving that we had been in a long term relationship.

How strange! Where are you applying from? And what occupation for your husband? And what state are you moving to? Sorry about the questions, just we lodged applications at a similar time!
