rubel797 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Hi there, First of all, thanks for taking time answering my question. I applied for 457 visa on 9th of April, 2017, for myself, my spouse and my son. My employer had applied for business sponsorship on 5th of January 2017 and Nomination on 24th of March 2017. I was checking the current processing time for 457 visa on immigration website, which says maximum 6 months for 90% of the applications. I was wondering whether this processing time includes all the process of sponsorship and nomination or is it 6 months after the approval of sponsorship and nomination? FYI, my occupation is in the MLTSSL and none of the sponsorship and nomination have been approved as of now. Thanks for your time. rubel797 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be thrilled. My employer was already a Nominated sponsor and my 457 application went in on the 22nd March. I still haven't heard anything. So maybe it might be any day now?

OZnewbie Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Congratulations! 130 days- does it include the sponsorship and nomination?Hi Rubel, nope. The 130 days was strictly only the time it took to get the individual 457 visa approved. So about 4 months out of the 6 which is currently stated on border.gov.au website.Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZnewbie Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi all. I just noticed on the border.gov website that processing has been changed from 6 months for 90% of applications being approved to 7 months Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
