Hi all,

I have applied for a long stay business visa in London about 2 weeks ago and still haven't
heard anything yet. Any ideas about how long things could take? I have got an Australian
sponsor & things have been cleared on their side...

Also wondering about what happens once we've gone for the medical examination?

Thanks for you help,

Julien

Hello Julien,

It should take 3 weeks according to the typical processing time posted by the Australian
High Commission in England. You can confirm this at the url below.

Depending on what the medical examination report says, your medical reports might be
forwarded to Australia for a more comprehensive look, and you might be asked to do more
tests. But that is only if you have a negative medical report.

Assuming your medical examination is satisfactory, the High Commission would know that you
can be granted a visa once you satisfy the other visa requirements. I don't know how they
work down there, but maybe you already have satisfied all other requirements and once you
submit a successful medical report you should be grated your 457 visa :).

Anyway just hang in there, it shouldn't take more than a fortnight for you to hear from
them. Good luck...
