I am going to overseas next week end, will return month end. My 457 expires on 21/Dec.

 

BVB costs $140 and you have to submit in-person in immigration office (no online process). It took 5 days to get approval, but as per immigration it is necessary to apply before two weeks of travel date. You have to provide substantial reason for your travel and duration must not exceed 3 months. And also I think, you can't apply BVB from overseas (not even extension). Bridging visa A will only allow you to remain in Australia only after your 457 expires and it is valid only when you are in Australia.

I applied BVB once before and it was granted onsite immediately. Seems like even bridging visa takes longer to be processed...

Process is changed now. I have submitted application in Melbourne immigration office and they said will send to my 186 TRT team. After 5 days, I got BVB approval and I can see grant of BVB in my immi account "View application mailbox"

Yes looks they've started July - does it mean all June applications have been allocated to CO?

Hopefully, they updated email after 4:00pm...(Sorry, I sent blank email every single hour :)

Does it means all the Jun applications have CO after 4:00 pm?

We don't know...if they are distributing July applications but not finish Jun applications, they can't just use pervious status. allocating late Jun and early July.

 

Just my 2 cent

 

Good point, but no clue.

 

My guess is, allocating of late june is completed. Now those are in CO queue and will grant eventually. As allocation of late june completed, now they are allocating early july applications.

When I called to DIBP last week, they said "June month has huge applications, so to start July applications will take at least 3 weeks.".

 

I dont think July and August applications takes two months time each, because there are only few applications compare to may and june.
