457 rejection question
Hi,
I logged onto my visa application today and it had changed to say "application finalised". We havent received an email, as the main contact on the application is the HR department of the company who are sponsoring me. I clicked on "view entitlement details" and it still says "no current visa".
But it is too late to call DIAC and tomorrow will be Sunday so no good either. Looking at it, I am thinking that my application has been rejected as surely if the application had been finalised, then when I click on view "entitlement details", it would tell me my visa details and not say "no current visa".
Can someone put me out of my misery so that I do not have to wait until Monday morning to find out my fate?? Does this definitely mean that we have been rejected??
Thanks in advance

If the application has been rejected they will tell you, just the same as they would tell you if it has been approved. They wont leave you to guess at what an online status means.

Re: 457 rejection question
No it doesn't necessarily mean this at all, if your application had been rejected I feel certain you would have been informed by email not via an online status message. DIAC do not attempt to communicate with us via the online status.
It is possible that this is a bug in the system. I have heard of it happening before a couple of times and indeed it happened to me a couple of days after I lodged my application. Try logging all the way out, i.e. don't just close the screen but hit log out. Shut down, leave it a while and log back in another time.
If you still have the message, then I think you are going to have to wait until Monday to find out what it means.

Re: 457 rejection question
Thanks for your replies! It has certainly lightened my mood. I am a natural pessimist I think...
The problem for me is that the main contact is the HR woman of the sponsoring company, so if they have emailed anyone to say accept/rejection, then it will have gone to her, and she won't find out until she goes to work on Monday morning!
It looks like I have to wait until Monday then. The wait is killing me!!!!
Thanks

DIAC should normally communicate with the visa applicant, not the employer, unless employer is acting as agent.
