Jamie Hensley Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Sponsorship/nomination/457 visas submitted 31 May, in Assessment in Progress since 1 June. And a week ago we were approved for our 457 applications to be allocated to the Priorty queue since my husband has to be in Australia for work in 3 weeks. However, after a week passing, I'm stressing out! Has anyone had success after being in priorty, and if so, how long did it take to have the visas granted? Side note, we were in AU for 3 years on a 457 with the same sponsor, so I thought it would go faster than this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werneroeder Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I am in the priority queue as well as I was supposed to start my contract on the 4th September. No updates have been given on how "fast" the priority queue progresses, but we can keep each other up to date, if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samson Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 It takes about a week for them to read the email for priority processing and they pretty much decide then if they will process it as a priority. If you haven't got the email saying no to the priority processing then it's a good start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memcc Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 We got the OK for priority ...just hoping it comes thru granted now! Hey Jamie! Did you request the priority processing? Or does it have to be the employer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werneroeder Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 As far as mine was concerned it was the employer. They built a business case, with deadlines and that was all submitted by the MA, and in my case priority and approval came very swiftly.

lhrtobne Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Does anyone else have any experience into the current processing time on the Priority Queue? I've been on it for a week and still no decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieMay24 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 If you are using a migration agent, you should rely on them for guidance. If you submit a request for priority processing, Immigration will consider whether it's a valid request or not. If they do approve it as a valid request, your application would be moved up the line and you may get a decision in 1-2 weeks following the approval for priority processing. But your reason for requesting priority processing needs to be due to the needs of an Australian business or citizen/PR, so make sure your request is something compelling.

Reckoner8 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hi Nabila, As maggi pointed out your priority request needs to have a strong business case/justifiaction. Even I am outside AUS, My priority was put cross with the help of MA but it git rejected and went into normal queue. From my observation looks like very few (10%) requests go through priority. ALL THE BEST!!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
