hoorayhenry Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hi everyone My would-be employer in Oz has to apply to Dept of Immi. to nominate and then sponsor me, and that is before I can apply for my visa. (This is because she is a one-woman band that has never sponsored anyone before). Has anyone had to go through this, and do they know how long it take for the Dept of Immi. to give the employer the go ahead to nominate/sponsor me? I'm getting VERY impatient :arghh: !!!! Thanks a lot Hooray Henry x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest norry&leigh Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi there, this may not be much help to you but thought it might give you an idea of time scale. Our sponsor submited the application around about the 22nd of June, I received an email with the TRN number on the 13th of July at which point I could go on to complete the online visa application.....hope this helps....Norry&Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay290901 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi, can't help you with the first part but we were told by an agency that once the visa application is received it is taking about 3 months to process if it is an employer sponsored one.

Lynne2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi Hooray Henry, Don't know if this is of any help but i am being sponsored by a company and they have to have there sponsor renewal before sponsoring me but because we have had our medicals done and finalised awaiting to go to a case officer due to previous sponsor and falling through the company taking me on only has until 25th September this year to get our visa approved so what the immigration consultant dealing with our application is doing is she is lodging both applications together to save time and doing it Electronically too. I flew out to sort the sponsorship to help save time too as they wanted to see how commited i was with it costing so much so we have offered and are paying there sponsor renewal fee which is about £1000. We are now just awaiting on the company sending last couple of bits of info to immigration consultant so she can get it all lodged, company are just awaiting on there finacial stuff coming back from accountant as it is end of Tax year in Oz at moment so reason for hold up. Hope this help and feel free to ask here or PM me if you want to know anything else :yes::cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cecilia Pryce Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi fwiw just put our 457 visa info on another tread. The company I work for had a placement pending on their papers - ie they had already moved someone over from france but had provisionally applied for 2 members of staff. anyway they applied for me (plus Hugo and Alicia) early June, on the 28th we got our TRN number - filled in visa on line 9th July, medical info came up at this point and booked for the 13th July. We then got Acknowledgement and case officer today 24.7.07. I hope its not much longer before we get the green light. Hope it helps but you can't proceed without a trn and do everything on line. good luck Cecilia. (melbourne hopefully end October???AGW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandymcqueen Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 We are in the same boat, apparently they can only process so many sponsnorships every year and it ran out in june so they arenow starting to process the next intake. Hope this helps, as far as I am aware when you do apply for your visa it should only take a matter of weeks to come through. Hope you get good news soon Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
