ready and waiting Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 My hubby has a work sponsor in Brisbane and after much paper chasing and leg work we have finally submitted our 457 visa application today. Our main worry at the moment is how long this visa will take to be approved as we only have 2 weeks to get there once approval is received. We have also sold our house and have to be out by 1 May 09.We would appreciate any comments as to how long other 457 visa's have taken.

Wantbetter Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 HiOurs was paper-based and was submitted on 6 Jan 09.On 27 Feb 09, the CO said she is still waiting for the attachments (which we submitted on 6 Jan 09 as well).Since resubmission of the attachments and calling to confirm that they did actually receive it this time, there has been no word from their side.We have been waiting now for 2 months today.I also have to start my job on 1 May 09, or risk losing it.Our CO works part-time and you can hardly ever get hold of her (8 calls on 8 different day - only one got through to her)She also does not answer any of our emails.Hope yours goes smoother!Wantbetter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
