londonengineer Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi All, I'm currently on a 457 as a civil engineer. I have a job offer that I've accepted with another company. They are a well established company and have lodged a nomination for me before easter. Two years ago, my nomination was approved overnight. Has anyone any idea how long nominations are taking at the moment? I've been checking the status checker like crazy. Does anyone know how often it's updated? Thanks.

Teekay Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 No idea how long its takes.. the first one seems so fast almost an overnight approval and the next one??? has yours been approved now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonengineer Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 It took about 5 weeks which made things really difficult for me and my new employer! It would seem that 457 related stuff is taking much, much longer than 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
