Re: who applying 457 thread
OMG.... the long awaited words "Applicant Approved" have appreared!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so excited/scared/convinced they'll take those magic words away!! Aaaarrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
Stuck in work now too so really having to keep my excitment under wraps!!
The only thing i'm not sure of is the condition 8403 attached to the visa- Report for Evidence. What does this mean anyone?

Re: who applying 457 thread
The immi site has a list of documents and they say there whether they should be certified or not. We certified everything just in case and got it done at the magistrates court which is a lot easier and cheaper than using a notary solicitor.

I have read both information sites
I think it will be easier to just get them all certified

Re: who applying 457 thread
Hi all, back again. Have now changed our son's name and got his new birth certificate and applied for his passport which should come early next week. Then scan in all his docs and get them notarised and snail mailed. Hopefully then start the visa process!! Congratulations to all since I last posted that have got their visas. Looking forward to meeting all in or going to Perth.

Re: who applying 457 thread
Hi all, I have arrived in Perth. All well but very busy. Singapore airlines were excellent and the wonderful women at Heathrow let me off the 450 pounds extra baggage charge. We are in a short term let, clean and basic and I am looking for a long term let. Have opened the bank account, brought mobile phones and I pick my car up Thur. I start work next Tue so hope to get loads done this week. Good luck everyone with your visas and PM me if you need any help. I dont have a computer at the moment but I am using the hotel one, so not online much. I will give a full update soon with prices and details. Fingers crossed for Visa
Saw today that you arrived in Perth. I am very busy to get everything organised for our own move. Can you send me a pm as you have find a house? Good luck with everything.
Regards,
Magda

Re: who applying 457 thread
Hello
This is our first post have been following this thread for a few weeks now whilst waiting to hear about our 457 visa. My husband is being sponsored, our application was lodged 2nd Nov 07, medicals were already done. His employers business nomination was approved 20th feb (The company has not sponsored anyone before) and we still haven't heard anything!
There was a TRN number on the email of approval that employer sent but it's coming up as not being recognised, does anyone know why?
We're getting a bit worried now as our chest xrays expire 26th March, agent doesn't seem worried! If we do have to do them again how quick can you get appointments? It took four weeks last time. We did have an email today from agent saying that the visa's are now being held up by verification checks in the UK and has asked us to check with employers and former employers but after chasing them up today, nobody has heard anything from the immigration dept it's all getting a bit much now!!
Sorry for all the questions, can anybody help? We're pulling our hair out!!!
