gabs Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this....I am looking for advice regarding the process of 457 visa.i have IELTS & positive skill assessment.how can i get employer nomination & invitation. Hi Desire, In order to obtain the 457 visa an Australian business who is a "standard business sponsor" has to nominate a job position and indicate you as the candidate for that position. The famous "three steps" of the 457. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabs Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Well, I have applied on the mid March, but the nomination is still not approved yet. Frustrating... Hi Jim, Are you from a low-risk country? Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanbro Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 congrats @fraserharry! All you need is the TRN to be able to register an immAccount on http://www.immi.gov.au/ and then you can check it 5 times a day like the rest of us... ;-) You just "import" the application via the TRN once your account is created. Why did your MA have to post the letter? Mine received electronic grant letters for nomination and visa grant by email, and forwarded them to me immediately. Does anyone know if your agent creates the immi account for you or once they have submitted you can go in and do this on your own to track your progress? Thanks xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boznich Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I'm in the similar situation via my MA processing my application, i asked the same question and they said "Unfortunately there is no system to track your application online." I would be interested to hear other people's thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB88 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 They're lying. You just need the TRN number. Getting the TRN may be difficult if they don't provide this to you. You just create a free immi account and add the TRN to your log in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 There is no online tracking. Once you lodge your application, the status will show as "Application in Progress" It will say this until the visa is granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapple Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 in to the 14th week of waiting now...... No idea why its taking so long. Nomination aproved, application lodged 23rd March From UK so its low risk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanbro Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Thanks @BB88 I've done that and now have access though @MaggieMay24 has just burst my bubble now lol Aw well, I'm sure, well I hope, that we'll get a decision soon anyway. Thanks guys xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Sorry Susan. It'd be great if it had a checklist that showed where the application was at but it's not that transparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
