Char Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hi, Can anyone help? I've been waiting nearly 12 days for a working holiday visa, I'm a British citizen, and i've read people recently on here that have had their applications approved within minutes... is anyone experienced waiting ages for this?

VERYSTORMY Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Is there anything unusual about your application? Have you declared any criminal convictions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 If it were me I would be asking, did I put my email address in correctly? I don't know if part of the process is an automatic acknowledgement of the application before the grant itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Char Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Yeh - because I'm currently in Singapore so they ask you for it if you're in countries with high risk for TB (asia). Its stupid as I've been living in Sydney for 2 years but was 7 months into a 457 application and the changes made on the 1st of July effected me. I was by then on a bridging visa so had to leave before applying for another 457. Hence why I'm here waiting for my WHV but its just taking sooooooo long.

VERYSTORMY Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 All I can say is keep an eye on your spam box as emails from the department often fall into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
