Lee4theresa Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Hi Guys We had the email we had been praying for today - our dreams came true 457 visa granted! We submitted sponsorship application, nomination and visa application together via an MA (offshore) on the 5th February. Everything was approved simultaneously today 23rd March (6 weeks & 3 days later) we had no requests for further documents, police checks or medical records, low risk country ( myself visa holder husband and daughter) Hope this gives hope to you all its been 4 years of waiting, heading to Byron bay NSW - just realised we have so much to do!! good luck xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILA Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 My nomination was lodged against the wrong subclass..a new nom was lodged and the wrong one withdrawn...any idea how long it might take considering that it's the 4th month already since I lodged my 457 visa???

MaggieMay24 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 My nomination was lodged against the wrong subclass..a new nom was lodged and the wrong one withdrawn...any idea how long it might take considering that it's the 4th month already since I lodged my 457 visa??? If a new nomination was lodged and the old one withdrawn, you need to look into your application as it would be linked to a now non-existent nomination. But the new nomination would start over in the queue, so likely to take 4-8 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needtoknow Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hi all Has anyone had a nomination approved recently? My employer lodged the application on 15th March and still no news. I realise the Easter break has been included here, so any ideas on how long the nomination approval part normally takes would be appreciated. I want to know whether to submit my part or not. If I submit and the nomination is rejected, will i get a refund of the fee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I submit and the nomination is rejected, will i get a refund of the fee? Nominations normally seem to take 4-6 weeks, so your employer should hopefully hear within the next couple of weeks. If you submit your application and the nomination is rejected, it can sometimes be possible to simply submit a new nomination (addressing the issues that caused the refusal) and asking DIBP to link the existing application up to the new nomination - this is best done through a migration agent to make sure it's all done properly. If the application can't be linked to a new nomination, the application will also be rejected without any refund of the fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should we take the risk as we have to leave UK early July. It's difficult to make decisions when sometimes people on here get replies within weeks and for others it take months.

Seashell Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Hello Everybody! Just trying to follow up on the time lines for the 457.... has anyone got any good news? It is fair to say you can estimate 4 months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcradimstepanek Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hi there all, so far nomination and visa lodget 8th of June, but now (5th of July) still nothing, no nomination approval. It's been 27 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgqs Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Hi All, I am still waiting for the nomination approval and I am getting anxious and frustrated. Anyway, here's my timeline: May 9, 2016: Nomination lodged June 22, 2016: Received email from DIBP to update "sponsorship component" June 24, 2016: Submitted additional requirements Still waiting... From my employer's point of view, the wait is very unreasonable since this isn't the first time they sponsored/nominated someone and the company I work for is a multinational finance company. We have operations around the globe so it's technically just a internal company transfer. I am hoping we all get good news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
