AJG Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hi everyone, I received my 457 visa today and it took definitely less time than I expected. Lodgement of nomination and 457 application: 07-10-2016 457 visa approval: 25-10-2016 I'm going to work as a massage therapist in Sydney. Visa for main applicant and partner applied in Australia. We are from high risk country. Fingers crossed for all of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atk89 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 i am heading to Sydney. i am still in my home country, and my MA who is based in Sydney applied it on my behalf. So i'm not too sure if its considered an onshore or an offshore application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are still waiting a decision on the nomination then the visa date you lodged will not be applicable. If you have lodged a decision ready visa along with the nomination then if they approve the nomination the visa will decision will probably be made at the same time. if not then they will request more info and you will go back in the queue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
