venuspooooo Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Hi, I applied457 on 30 june 2016 at sydney! The position is plasterer, my company is the first time to sponsor someone. Medical check on 2 July We got sponsorship on 24 August 3016, Requested more documents: police check Logged the nomination on 26 aug 2016 Now is 9 November 2016, I have been waiting for 4 months. I m holding low risk country passport (HongKong) Can someone tell me how long does it take the 457? Is there any people waiting 457 for long time? I really worry about my visa get refusal!

Guest Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Do you know if the companies nomination had been accepted before you applied for your visa? As I understand it there are two parts to a 457 - the first part the employer applies for & this is where they have to prove they can support the sponsored person, cannot find suitable local people etc. Once that is approved (& I have no idea how long that takes) then the employee applies for their visa and ours took under a month. I am just wondering if your employer hasn't sponsored anyone before whether their part is all in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 This is quite a good summary of the process: http://www.hallandwilcox.com.au/app/uploads/2016/08/HW0047_Visa-457-Article_v2.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Senise Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Requested more documents: police check If a Police Check has been requested by the Immigration Department for a subclass 457 visa, it means that you have a criminal history which can delay the processing of the application. Have you researched whether you meet the "character requirements" for this visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't know what's happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
