pildav Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 good time of day to you all, I got a fairly decent offer and employer will start 457 processing next week. I'm also expecting 189 invite either next week or first round in Jan 2016. I'm not quite sure what will get processed faster: 457 or 189 ? My intent in the end is to settle in AU so naturally 189 seems like a better choice however I really want to move to AU before school year starts and was thinking perhaps I should go with 457 assuming it's processed faster and then apply for 189 ? My passport is from high risk country though (one of those that Donald Tramp wants to ban) so perhaps my assumption about faster 457 is not warranted ?.

VERYSTORMY Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Normally, a 457 would be faster. However, if from a high risk country it is difficult to say. We recently had a poster waiting over 6 months due to security for a 457. The risk is that you apply for them both and the 189 is granted and then the 457. The 457 would then cancel the 189 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pildav Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Ok, that's interesting bit about cancellation, thanks for info. I will hold off on applying on 189 then, better play it safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
