Anyone out there experiencing problems accessing the system to follow progress on 457 application.
If so does anyone know what the problem is?

They update the website once per week. It says on the top of the page. But think its usually a Wednesday and it says times to avoid using it.

Could one of you kind people tell me how to check on the status of a 457?
My new employer has done all of the paperwork for the application and all I know is that the visa was applied for on 16th May, heard nothing since

when did you apply for 457 visa........and when is your estimated time of completion/issue ?

Gems

Ours took 4 weeks.
Some about the same time as us took 6 weeks.

We submitted our application 11 weeks ago and are still waiting...I think it depends on a number of factors eg. employer/position (seems the medical field do have priorty) and whether you are from a low or high risk country.

Gems

Yes, thats probably correct. We were sponsored by Education department who said they could push ours through if needed.

We got allocated a CO just 12 hours after submitting the online application!

My OH is being sponsored for a trade so even though it is on the MODL, it is obviously not 'high-priority'. The waiting is getting very frustrating. We just want to get on but are unwilling to make any plans until the visa is approved! I check online constantly in the hope that today is the day!
