Default aNYONE BEEN WAITING MORE THAN 6 WEEKS FOR 457?

Hi, has anyone else been waiting for more than 6 weeks for there 457 visa?
We submitted 6 weeks ago today and I noticed that many people have had a very quick turn around, not us though!
I realise it can take up to 12 weeks just wondered if that is more realistically the case. I was hoping we would have had it by now.
Oh well, looks like endless days of checking again............................

Hi we are putting our 457 visa in next week, and we have heard from some that they got their's in three weeks and others have had to wait 8-12, i guess i the luck of the draw really and if they have just to process you or you and your family. Dont worrie you'll get there.

School children have to have a Medical for 457 visa and depending on your occupation you might have to as well,my 14 and 16 year olds both had a Medical for our 457 visa.Hope this helps clarify.
