davidragon280683 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Hi Dave You mention you're from the UK, and gave a timeline. Could I ask; Did you apply yourself or did the employer apply via an agent for you? Did you complete a company police check form also? We did and nomination submted same time as visa, via agent, just wondering did you have to apply for acro check yourself? Cheers Louise Hi Louise My visa was handled by an agent , but i got flagged for an offence in 2002 , agent passed this back to me and i applied for acro check by myself its £80 plus deliver and i got it back in a couple of days Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S777DUB Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Hi Guys, I am currently waiting for my 457 to be granted for myself, my wife and soon to be 4 year old daughter. Hopefully moving to Sydney. We used a M.A that my future employers set up. The nomination and visa application was all applied for at the same time and submitted on the 19th August. That means this friday will be 8 weeks and we have not heard anything yet, so hopefully it wont be too much longer!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't feel as optimistic now I know you're still waiting :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loobeeloulou Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 When was yours submitted? Ours only went in 23/9 through an agent, nomination and visa together, but were told least 8 weeks and we're hoping for 8 weeks ha ha! Although the immigration dept have been on strike for two weeks so that won't help :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S777DUB Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I didn't know the immigration department have been on strike for two weeks? When was this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loobeeloulou Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Over the past two weeks. It was on their website. Not all staff, and not for the whole two weeks, but during the past fortnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartaus Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I didn't know the immigration department have been on strike for two weeks? When was this? We also submitted our visas on 16th sep and was hoping to be nearer the 8 week mark. We are also sydney. We did phone the migration agent however and she had said that although there was strikes this would have no effect on immi processing. Do you have access to your immi account so you could see the status of your application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have access to your immi account so you could see the status of your application? Yeah I have access to my immi account. It still says received. Apparently some times it will change to processing, or sometimes change directly to Finalised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
