benandkelly 10 Posted September 20, 2011 Does anyone have any idea how long 457 nomination approvals are taking at the moment? My sponsor has been accepted as a business sponsor and now just waiting for DIAC to accept nomination. We have already submitted our e457 application and immi shows processing has commenced. We have uploaded most documents but are waiting on a couple of stat decs and a court search from our solicitor who currently has taken 4 weeks and has only just (in the last week) applied to the courts for a search to be done. Any help much appreciated :smile: Job offer 29-07-11. e457 lodged 06-09-11. e457 proccessing 06-09-11 Employer Approved as a sponsor 09-09-11.

I keep ringing immi, and my new employer keeps ringing them.. all they will say is that my visa won't be cancelled as I have a nomination in, but that don't pay the bills... really frustrating as they can do it very quick if they want!

Guest jemandrich Posted October 4, 2011 Hi guys has any of you been told by your sponsor that immigration has your file back? We got told this last wednesday by our sponsor and we are still waiting to hear if its a yes or a no? But surely if they got our file back and they haven't asked for any more paper work it shouldn't be much longer?? Anyone else been told this and know what happens next please help! Thanx.
