Iloveoz Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi Everyone, My O/H and I are moving to Perth soon on a 457 Visa. His employer have said that they are sorting the visa out for us and all we need to do on our side is email over all the relevant documents, proof of defacto, scanned passports etc etc. - Which we have done. What are other peoples experiences on the 457 application? I was under the impression that we would need to apply for the visa on immi.gov.au but from what we can see the company are doing it all for us? The contact we have at the company has said she is confident it will be a very swift process and we should have the visa in 4-8 weeks. They are a large oil and gas engineering firm so does it depend on how many times that company has applied for sponsorship visa before?? Sorry for all the questions, this has all happened so quickly and I would really appreciate anyones advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DyLeB Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 IF it is an Oil & Gas company they will be using an agent to do the visa application. If they are not already a business sponsor it may take 4-8 weeks, but if they are, the visa should be granted quickly, sometimes in less than 1 week.
