The Hippo Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Visa lodged 31st March. Just got the email from immigration agent saying visa's have been approved. SUPERB! Immigration agent was surprised as well as we had been advised that the OH would require a chest x-ray as if she works she'll be working with children. Been told to now cancel her appointment for tomorrow as the CO has used her discretion and approved the visa. It's all starting to get rather real now. Got a start date in Melbourne of 14th June and Australian HR are across today to brief the team that are going across, then there's a family get-together to ensure the OH's are involved at all stages.

Funny you say that. Whilst I'm running about trying to get the house rented out and all the various bits of paperwork in place and all the rest of the stuff on our 'Things to Do' List, the OH is snowed under organsining our calendar, to ensure we meet up with everyone before we leave.

Guest cazbob Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 hello izzie just joined the forum and apologize if i repeat anything is that your employer SBS approval, nomination were done in 4 days from lodging?? i'm curious as i'm trying to understand the time it take for employer sponsor approval and nomination.. thanks There's no quoted time for how long the sponsorship or nomination take and the times vary wildly from case to case - take a look at the spreadsheet for an idea of some people's timescales. https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AoG0R9BMv5S5dEZfZ3E2NmpETTZZdFM0dzc1SWk5Nnc&hl=en_GB&authkey=CO2Q1_IE#gid=0 assume about 4-6 weeks, seems to be a good guesstimate but don't be surprised if it whizzes through in days or drags on (like mine) for months!! :arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
