We were fortunate to have an Australian govt. sponsored job – their recruiting department was very on the ball and helped guide the process effectively.

Sounds good. We're a solid MAYBE, as our shipment is supposed to come in Friday and we have house guests next week (and a totally empty house as of this moment).:(

Plus it's easier to hear than a club venue, so even us Yanks will be able to keep up with the conversation...lol!

Re: Medicals: Protein in my urine - DRINK LOTS OF WATER!

For 457 we only had X-rays.

For PR, we had to do:
- X-rays again (it was just easier than tracking down the ones we had done last month for 457's, having them sent to a govt approved radiologist,...

Smile Re: Best place to live in Melbourne? (young, and no family!)

We just moved to South Yarra and I went to school in Canada (Kingston).

Canada is cold. That's about all I have to say about that.

South Yarra, however, is SO fun and SO close to everything....

Re: What are we missing? Scary time!

They offered PR from the start, but did not think it would be processed by the time they wanted us there.

Re: Anyone done 457 paper application?

How long to get scheduled for your medicals?
How long after that did they go in?
How long after that did you get your 457?

That is about the best news I've heard in a LONG time!

Re: Anyone done 457 paper application?

Hi John -

I did the online version yesterday. Are you using the "TRN" (Transaction Reference Number) or the other code they give you at the end, when you save your work?

Re: Can we get benefits on 457 visa

Re: Can I come in on a tourist visa while I wait for my 457?
