Guest Lway_2000 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hey Cazbob, I emailed Diac Parramatta and they said current timings for a case officer is 3 weeks. So I have emailed as it has been longer now, but really polite just asking if timings for an officer have gone up? I'm just worried my boss wants me to get out there to start with another girl, so they train us together by 2nd may latest 9th! Pressure!! No movement at all?

carsnhoj Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 yesterday our status said 'processing further'.... today they have asked for form 80... are we actually getting there, or am I being 'over hopeful'???? The whole waiting is killing me slowly.. and now another weekend (so another drink to help sleep maybe?) I'm gonna raise a glass this weekend to us all being sorted before Easter!.

Guest cazbob Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Sorry 457 application. Sponsorship by the company was approved in January already! that does seem to be a long wait alright, perhaps ring the DIAC or as Lway suggests email, but very politely?

Guest ozzietobe Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Here's hoping for a visa grant this week, the waiting is driving us nuts!!! Been way to long now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ozzietobe Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Does anyone know if there is somewhere we can go and check where they are in granting visa's like you can with PR processing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essextoaus Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Does anyone know if there is somewhere we can go and check where they are in granting visa's like you can with PR processing? There's a chart somewhere demonstrating where applications are processed depending on where the job is. I've just had a look and I can't find it. I think it's in a pdf booklet on the immi site. Anyone? I've just had great news in that our 457 processed in Paramatta was granted on the 11/4/11. Timeline: Nomination lodged 10/3/11 - granted 6/3/11. 457 app lodged 13/3/11 - case officer assigned 6/4/11 - grant 11/4/11. No medicals, pcc, or requests for further information! No agents. Done online. So relieved. Now just to hope and pray that our PR 175 visa comes through before we fly on May 11th, (submitted medicals last Wed/PCC submitted already). If it does, then we can take double luggage with Quantas and won't need to leave Oz to validate. (Before anyone asks - was offered a Job in Feb and so started the whole 457 process before the rush of PR case officer allocations (got our CO for the PR on 1/3/11)). I think if you sliced open my brain now it would say 'visa' in the middle. :arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roflie Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Well today i heard that my visa had been lodged.... also heard that i wouldn't need any medicals at all which was great news (having held off on front laoding and spending the money on them!).... just got to play the waiting game like many others now - My agent has said anywhere between 1-3 months but hopefully it'll be the shorter end of that.....

EDITED: just emailed them.... fingers crossed it helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lway_2000 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I don't know your email contact Cazbob it's different for each office? Mine was E457.Parramatta@immi.gov.au.. I assume yours will be the same but with your office where mine is? X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElToro Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Cazbob, having looked at your timeline i'm a bit nervous! I plan to move out to Melbourne in August. I've got quite a few interviews coming up and in a perfect world i'll have an offer before i fly out, allowing me to start the application process for a 457. If not, then i'll have a few interviews when i'm out, hopefully an offer quickly and then i can apply for the visa whilst i'm out there. I was hopeful it'll take 2/3 weeks for nomination approval and then 2/3 weeks for 457 approval. I'm now a little bit nervous as i won't be able to get by for more than 2 or 3 months (at the very most) without a job. Any reason why it's taken you so long? It's good your potential employer seems to be understanding, good luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good your potential employer seems to be understanding, good luck with it. my timeline makes me nervous too mate!! not a clue why mine has taken so long - i know some of the delay initially was due to the employers taking their time with returning required info and some unfortunate timing over xmas but other than that i'm at a loss. you might get lucky with the timelines yourself though as there are others who have received theirs much quicker!

ElToro Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Your spreadsheet is excellent Cazbob, thanks for this - it really helps everyone at the early stages of planning their application as a rough guide to timescales. Good luck - hope you get there soon! Are you just waiting to book your flight or are you out there already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
