Guest Oz Boots Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 It's odd how long the 457's take. It has taken our friend who is moving to Sydney 3 months to have her visa granted and yet it took us 4 days to get ours back. It seems there is no set time it takes... Ian.

Guest Oz Boots Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yes quite possible. Or maybe dependent on how much money the company sponsoring you is prepared to pay I guess! Anyway, congrats! Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gail2010 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Our 457 only took a week to be approved, I think it must depend on the company sponsoring how long you have worked for them etc!! My partner has been with his company 5 years. We arrived here on the 21st December right at the hottest time, getting a rental home is harder than you would think!! Lots of people trying to get ones at the same time its exhausting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
