DR Moving to Oz Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hi all, My new employer to be nominated me for a 119 visa and had it approved pre 1-7 deadline however my application did not go in time. So after speaking to him Sunday he suggested we go down the 457 route as he wants me out asap. 1st question can he nominate me for the 457 or does he have to be approved to nominate me? 2nd question, if so how long does it take for him to be aproved to nominate me and have it approved? I was offered the job and accepted it on may 10 this year and still no further on. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest myaccessaustralia Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 seeing pretty quick turn around times at the moment, around 2 weeks for decision ready applications (i.e. all required documents submitted, medicals completed etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that must be very frustrating - I think I'll chase my MA tomorrow for an update. Could you chase your employer or MA? I don't want to tempt fate & contact DIAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some problems with o/h's contract but we got there in the end. Perth bound mid Sept!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussieange Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Exactly 4 weeks to the day, I logged on to the DIAC website and it finally says VISA APPROVED - I was so shocked when I saw it I was nearly in tears! So very very happy )) Eveyone out there who is waiting, it will happen...best of luck xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullso Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 457 Visa lodged 17th July - approved today ! 9 days end to end - so very excited ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernardeli Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Congrats Mullso and Angela. :-) My application was lodged July 3th, CO assigned at the 10th, asked for medicals (I had already sent it and arrived exactly at the same day he asked for it), and still no further contacts or updates. I'm afraid of this so long waiting regards of being in a de facto relationship. I havent heard about people applying for 457 in a de facto relationship. :-( Best of luck for me and for who else needs and is waiting as well.

graham from hull Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Depends. We are using a migration agent in Perth WA. And what an idiot they are. Been dealing with it for 8 weeks now, and they have done bugger all as yet. Told me it could take another 8 wks. Wished i had not gone with them, as they are delaying my chances of getting the job i have been offered over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostdf3 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 does being sponsored by the govt owned companies in wa, make any diff to the visa turn around? only ask as my agent working for the company reckons 2-6 weeks. but i dont have that im due to arrive on the 17 sep. again im assuming the agent is to organize our flights and accommodation.

Guest Corkgal Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Dont worry yet. We waited 7 weeks after our application was lodged, we are also in a de facto relationship but that had nothing to do with it. It was an error on o/h's contract and a mistake made by migration solicitor. I was sure it was going to be refused as we were waiting so long. Best of luck!!!

Guest EMhinds Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I am in the same boat with you guys. I have been waiting since the 26th of June I even rang my CO and she keeps on saying she is still waiting for the go ahead from the Global Health Team in Sydney, and meanwhile my employer is becoming more and more impatient?????

The process can either be very quick or slow, any where from a few days to 10 weeks, you are four weeks in which would be about the average time frame of 6-8 weeks for the visa to be granted, hang in there. Your employer will know it can take time, I wouldn't worry to much, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest geologist Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hi, I am an Indian citizen currently in USA. Got a job offer in mid-June and the employer took care of visa application and all through a immi.agent. Application lodged on 4th of July. X-ray done on 6th of July at a center in Kentucky. It took 2 weeks to get the result. They shipped the results to Sydney on 22nd July-received on 25th July. Visa granted 1st Aug-2012. So basically it took less than 4 weeks in my case. Didn't have to provide any police/character certificate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
