457IE Granted :)
We just found out this afternoon that our 457IE visa application has been approved.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to all on this forum. We had just about given up hope of emmigrating when we found out that we could take this route. Thanks to Go Matilda, everything went well and we can now sleep at night. Good luck to everyone else brave enough to follow their dreams Love Louise, Mark and family ..... Brisbane bound |
congratulations Louise.
Now the fun begins. Tony C |
Hi Louise
Congratulations, I knew it wouldnt be too long before you heard something. I can imagine the smile on your face! Time for big celebrations! Jan :-) |
Re: 457IE Granted :)
Well done - I hope we have the same result (we're using Go Matilda as well). One quick question, how long after submitting your application did the decision take? We're getting itchy feet and the form's only been in two weeks!!
|
Well done Louise. Please tell us how long it took.
Mines been in 3 weeks now. What business are you starting? KevMitch..... what's yours? I'm keen to know thanks |

Kev, Can I set up your Adelaide outpost for you??
Mash.. Originally posted by kevmitch I will be a recruitment business - including finding roles for UK migrants in Australia and sourcing UK nationals to fill specific skill shortage roles in Australia. What are you going to be doing? |
I'm transferring my Chartered Quantity Surveying practice (me!) to Adelaide. I have a tentative offer to buy into an existing practice though which I'll explore once I'm there.

Hi to you all,
Just put my house on the market..yipee Our application took 28 working days (i was told this when i rang up) and thats exactly how long it took. We submited our medicals with the application tho......so it made the final decision come quicker. Usually you get the ok and then submit medicals before they give the final decision. Hope this helps..i know how frustrating it is to have your life on hold. Louise |
Skills assessment was as a 'General Manager'. I'm definitely not IT, but supply chain management, business process change management, training/development and stuff. Looking for a change of direction, very flexible...
Sounds like an interesting opportunity.. Mash.. Originally posted by kevmitch Mash - what are you going to be doing? I seem to remember a number of your postings relating to IT. Seriously though, if things take off in Sydney, then I've got potential partners already in Melbourne and Perth, but nothing in Adelaide. so if you're serious.... Best wishes Kev |
28 days?
Hi Louise
Are you sure you mean 28 days ie: 5 and a half weeks or do you mean 38 days, 7 and a half weeks? When exactly did you submit your application? You now have us worried that ours has been overlooked as our application was submitted on 22.01.03. Julie and Alex |
Hi Julie and Alex,
Dont worry..its 28 Working days..not actual days, so thats 6 weeks. We submitted our application on 22nd Jan and it arrived with the Embassy on the 23rd Jan. We front loaded our application by submitting our chest xrays and medicals. You should hear any day now. You can fax the High Commission but they wont talk to you in person. fax - 020 7465 8218. Hope this helps Louise |
Hi Louise
Thank you for your message! Did you fax the High Commission and if so did they fax you back to let you know how your application was progressing? Did your agent phone you with the result? Getting more nervous - waiting for the phone call. Julie and Alex |
Hi,
I was getting really impatient so i faxed the high commision. I left my work number, but wasnt at my desk so a guy called George left me a message to say that he was sending us medical forms!!!! i didnt understand the message as i had already sent medicals. The next thing, i got an email from our agent saying that we had approval - it turns out that they found our medicals and they emailed our agent (all happened on the same day). We havnt had it in writing yet. Mark and myself are going to Brisbane in 12 days for two weeks to look around. We are starting at Hervey Bay and working our way down. Where and when do you think you will be heading out? What business will you be doing. We have two children, 10 and 5. It would be good if we could keep in touch with you. Bye for now Louise and Mark |
Hi again Louise,
We have 3 children - 1 girl aged 13 and 2 boys - 10 and 6. We're from Huddersfield - not far from you in Altringcham. We would love to keep in touch- assuming we get approved! We hope to run an electrical store in Bundaberg/Rockhampton areas.What does Mark do? see you Julie and Alex |
Hi fellow 457 independents......
Who needs the chest X ray? Just the applicant, just the adults or everyone. I sent my appl. in 3.5 weeks ago, but without front loading it. I just thought I might get the thing organised so we're ready when its called for. I have the list of approved radiologists from the DIMIA website. Is it just a case of picking one nearest to you? Another question...... As a temporary resident, there is no immediate right to buy property in Oz. Permission has to be sought to get a permit to buy. Where does one get this from? ta |

As a temporary resident, there is no immediate right to buy property in Oz. Permission has to be sought to get a permit to buy. Where does one get this from? ta I'm led to believe that unless there is a health risk (i.e. from the answers to the medical questionnaire), then us 'oldies' won't need full medicals. Kev |
Thanks Kev,
I would be right in thinking my 10month old daughter will be exempt from the X-ray. I think I'll phone today and make an appointment. How much was it for you. ? Do you have many contacts in the recruitment business. I would be interested in keeping in touch once you have set up to see what opportunities they might be in Adelaide. One of the things we intend to do is invest in some property and maybe have a furnished house available to other members of this forum to stay when they arrive, until they sort out their first house etc. We will have storage facilities at our business premises to receive containers of stuff from the UK etc. Thought your services would tie in quite nicely. |

Hi everybody
We registered tonight and its been great reading all your posts. We are still at the hair pulling out stage, and we really would appreciate any advise thats going (before we go totally bald) Ian has been offered a job in Perth and so we are going for the Temp Business Long Stay visa. We seem to be having a lot of trouble getting all the documentation together. Certified birth certs and marriage certs, according to the Australian web site need to be marked and dated , but we have spoken to a Notary Public today and he says that the rules have been changed and NP's, solicitors are now not allowed to do this function. Can anyone tell us how they got their documents approved, seems that there is some doubt that as our birth and marriage certs have not got a rubber stamp on to confirm as seen, they may be thrown out, even though the above docs were seen by a JP and she hand signed to confirm that they were authentic. Great to hear that some lucky people have actually been granted a visa- good luck to you all. Regards - Ian & Jackie :beer: :beer: |
