457 Scare
We naively thought this would easy and would sail through quickly but it was nearly 4 weeks ago that we had our XRays, which immigration have confirmed receipt of along with all other docs, but still no visa:confused:. Thought that as employer sponsored it would go through automatically but due to delay beginning to think that we may get rejected! Anyone know rough processing times following all documents sent? Getting anxious as job commences late July!

Hi,
I'm pretty sure that 457's are taking about 6 weeks to be approved. Antney |

Dont panic,
They have a lot of applicants for 457, they can take anything from 4 weeks to 8weeks depending on how busy they are. Gems |

A job offer does not automatically make you eligible for a 457 visa.

Thank you all for your responses - not unusual at all then by sounds of it. If we don't get it then that's fate!

No, it's not "fate" but rather a question of whether you meet the requirements or not. (have you checked?)
I thought the Ozzies are in need of skilled labour! Anyway, my OZ sponsor has launched my visa app 457 and fingers crossed, and guess will sweat a lot between now and when I get this (yes when and not if!)... Guess no two cases are same ... The wait is going to be the KILLER!!!! |

Re: 457 Scare
my job offer came in june last year and the visa's granted in late october, it took an age, and then we rushed like mad at the end. It's just the way it works, I even had to drive 90m for a panel doctor. :)
You'll be fine I'm sure Steve |

Yes - eligible and criteria match. Do people get rejected for reasons other than police checks and medicals?
Still waiting and I am an intensive care neonatal nurse with a job at RBWH due to start mid July. Jill :blink: |
