Guest yindavies Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Am I right in thinking you don`t get your 457 visa until 4 weeks before work start date? If so do they at least let you know if your gonna get it. Iwant to make plans but reluctant until heard about visa. Med finalised 4th Feb but work start date 1st June 2010. Any ideas?

Not sure about that, I know they ask for a start date on the application and they give you a date you must arrive by. I wouldnt of thought they would hold back granting a visa until 4 weeks before as applications are processed in order of the date submited. What they might do is grant your visa and give you 4 weeks to go even though you dont start until 1st June. (Dont quote me on that, just an idea) Where does it state they only give 4 weeks after granting a visa?? I know I have seen a few people being told this but it may depend on there situation.

TirEoghain Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Nomination lodged on 24/02/10 Visa Application lodged on 25/02/10 Starting with my new employer on Monday. Hope I'm allowed to actually start with my new employer. Currently the WHV expires on 26/03/10 and the application status screen says bridging visa granted.

Guest pablofet1 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Our 457 visa took 3mths from application to coming through. Didnt seem to be any problem.. ..but again im going to ask why be aware?? Were you requested to do police checks & meds or did it take 3mths without this? Also did you put the visa required date 3mths from lodgement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hgierthy Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 My hubbys work done everything, and total process was from application to visa being granted was 3mths, . We had them come back to us a couple of time inbetween to get paperwork sign'd by my ex-hubby regarding my oldest son. As they want'd confirmation he was allowing us to take him out the country, i would say this was the biggest hassel as 1st it was a lawyers letter with confirmation, then they sent through paperwork for ex to sign, then they came back again asking for ex's passport also. We didnt have to do a police check for any off us. They asked if we had any criminal record in application form, but no offical check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ambassador Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 RE The 457 Visa, just to get confirmation - if you are from the UK you dont need any kind of physical visa in your passport ?

stewe12345 Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Can you mail your passport to the Australian console or something? Not sure if you can or not any more but I know many on PIO have gone over to Australia with just there pasport and a copy of the email granting the visa and they have been fine. Be nice to see a slip in your passport tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yindavies Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I could scream! Been patiently waiting on a daily basis for my 457, meds finalised 4th Feb 2010, or so I thought. I have been emailing my CO since Nov (5 times) asking if there was anything else required etc and have had no response since Nov 09. Emailed her yesterday with concerns that time was getting close etc. (8 weeks) before departure. Email received of her today saying she was still waiting for medical for my 15 year daughter which she requested 20/11/09. I have kept every email and checked my online application where it has only requested meds for myself. My daughter is diabetic. She hasn`t stated what health checks are required, any idea as I would like to try and arrange today and by the time I email CO back its going to be potentially next week before I get reply. Will I be able to download health results as mine took total of 4 weeks to get posted by doctor to Australia? Any information greatly received.

I bet you are almost holding you breath.:wideeyed: We had an email yesterday to tell us that our application is progessing and they aim to process our application within 28 days. Is this what everyone else received? We haven't had an introduction as yet from a case officer but the email said that they will be in contact should they require any further info.

Guest reginekang Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 My sponsor applied the 457 visa for me and family and it took around a month for them to get it done. My visa was granted in Nov 09 and my employer gone thru agent for all the process. I'm sure if all documentation are in order it's just a matter of time. Maybe your delay is due to the driving conviction some time ago. Wishing you all the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
