Guest JessicaLiebster Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hello there. My name is Jessica and I am currently processing my 457 visa. I was doing research on the requirements that I am going to need, and I stumbled upon this site: http://www.austhealth.com/457-visa-healthinsurance.php It says here that I have to present a letter from my health insurance provider. Does anyone know how long the processing will take? Also, does anyone know what are the requirements that I should submit to the insurance provider for them to process/approved ? Thank you so much.

cve721 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hi Jessica- we just took out an annual travel insurance Policy which covers several millon $ for medical care. That way you dont have to know the exact date you are going When u arrive in Aus you can apply for Medicare- if you are British. Not sure for all Nationalities. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoegal68 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 hiya we lodged our application 20th October visa granted 16th November, that includes the two week wait for me to be able to get to Edinburgh to have medical (nurse). i dare say it may have gone thru quicker again if i hadn't needed medical.

egrek Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Over 6 months and appear to be getting nowhere: We've just sent all the info to (another) government agency that has an estimated 8 weeks processing time and told we have 2 weeks to get it from immigration? I guess they don't want childcare workers here (even if they keep saying they need them). Not feeling welcome here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurseInUK Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hi there, I have a job offer in NSW, sydney as RN Paediatric. They said they will await for the AHPRA reg is done before lodign my sponsership. The AHPRA reg app has been submitted since 4 weeks now. The question I have is - when the hospital lodges the sponsership, do they do all the visa side completely? Or will I need to do anything. I know I will have to get the medical but I suppose they will tell me when to do/what to do etc.. Can anyone whether been in this situation, explain or advice plz...I am just curious to work out how long in total it will take...as we ideally like to move end of March 2013...We have been chasing AHPRA for reg...today is the day again to see any updates as since the initial receipt of app mail...not had any other..updates..... I am hoping... - done by end of Dec for AHPRA - done by end of Jan for Visa/medical - may be unrealistice..but welcome to comment...or advise.. Thanks.

Guest Marmi Grace Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 the 457 visa is a 3 stage process (1) Sponsorship > Employer should apply to be a sponsor, if your employer is already an approved sponsor then there is no need for this step (2) Nomination of Position > Employer nominates your position this is done everytime > Employer's HR may do this or hire a migration agent (3) e457 (daic standard is 2-3 months) > this is the application of your actual 457 visa > some apply this thing on their own and others pay an immigration agent to do this on their behalf. > there are also some company that hires a migration agent to handle everything (including the employee's sponsorship) > it is best to discuss with the company how will you deal with this stage Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVEPEACOCK Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 We came out in March this year, our 457 application was entered mid dec 2011 (by my company migration contractors) & was approved 6 days later. I assume this is not the norm' tho it does make you wonder how easy it is if you know the ropes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westbound Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 It's been 4 weeks today for us. We can't check the website as our application is being handled by an agent, so we don't have the details! Fingers crossed to hear something soon.

finchyyy Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 My 457 visa approval came through yesterday -exactly 2 weeks after lodging. It was lodged at same time as my nomination which was approved after a week, more info was requested on 14th Feb, submitted on the 15th and approval on the 21st Feb. Very quick! Looking to be out in Sydney begining of May! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petals Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 The gov is now going to make it a lot harder to get these Visas as they are seen as taking jobs from Australians. So the English skills are being tightened and the Employers are going to find it harder to get approval unless they can prove an Aus is not available for the position. As unemployment is rising in some States i e here in Victoria there have been demonstrations outside places where it is known 457 visa holders have been employed when there are equally qualified Australians with no jobs. Its very contentious and as its an election year it may just get much much tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
