Parkesy Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Anybody know where i can find this? Ive spent a lot of time on the DIBP website over the years and Im sure Ive seen it. Just can't find it now! Looking to transfer my current 457 to a new employer. Am I right to say 4 - 6 weeks from lodgement? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieMay24 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 457 nominations seem to be taking anywhere from 1-6 months at the moment so it's difficult to predict when to expect one to be finalised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Maggie. That is actually pretty insane its blown out that much. Doubt my new employers would be willing to wait that long given the position needs to be filled. Very disheartening to hear! Ive clearly wrongly assumed they would have a separate team (or person!) for 457 transfers as they are usually pretty quick and easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Senise Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 If all documents are provided at time of lodgement, 457 nominations applications to transfer existing 457 visa holders are given priority processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DianaK Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 A friend of mine just got his 457 transferred to a new employer and it took 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werneroeder Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Can someone please explain how the transfer works? Am I still on the Terms and Conditions of the original Visa? Is it only the sponsor change, and the job title stays the same? How long would this process take? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
