For info....our online status changed to approved about 24 hours BEFORE we got the e-mail.
Just sent our passports to Australia House to get the 457 stamps in - one less thing to do when we get there, plus may help with trying to blag some extra baggage allownace on Singapore Air

Is it only people who haven't used an agent who can check online?
As we have used an agent do we have to wait until we hear from them?
(i know it takes a day or two extra as our skills & state sponsorship were dated a few days before we were actually informed by our agents!
)
thanks

We are having our party for personal friends this Sunday afternoon because next weekend we are at Wembley for Saints V Catalan in the Challenge Cup Final, the week after the room we want to use was already booked.
We think our house is 'sold' in that we have accepted an offer. The buyers solicitor and mortgage advisor have been in touch with our estate agent this week, but he's not had the survey done yet.
We are both having our works party on Fridady 31st August - me in Stockport area and my wife in Liverpool.
It think its really strange, I do a lot of foreign business travel - like this week I was in Tunisia for 3 days. It feels like we are just going on holiday or I'm going away for work.
I think its because its all happend so quickly - really its a job move for me - a promotion if you like within our Japanese group. Its not like I've always dreamed of Oz or had to spend 2 years planning the move.

No we did it ourselves (we are simple 457 visa) we used the TRN number generated during the online application to track.
Why not ask your agent for tracking number - he can only say 'no' and aren't you paying him - remember YOU are the customer.

Yes, your agent will give you the tracking number.
