Hi guys, I'm new to the forum so let me introduce myself briefly, I am a 38 year old mechanic currently working in the v8 supercar championship, I moved to Melbourne from the uk in January this year, I'm currently awaiting I migrations answer on the transfer of my 457 visa which is now in its 6th week of processing, does anyone out there know the timeframe of the transfer process and the fact neither me or the new employer have heard anything regarding the application.

Many thanks

Many thanks Mark, I must admit I am getting a bit stressed with it all, the job and title are exactly the same as I am doing now I just can't understand why it takes so long, can you shed any light on the subject, I find it a bit strange that the new employer hasn't even heard anything, spoke to three different people at immigration and have had three different timescales, I am one very frustrated person !!!

Hi mark, no nothing from case officer, the company I am moving to done the application for transfer of my 457 from my current employerr so I can't get any answers out of immigration and the company won't push immigration for any answers, I'm helpless immigration just keep moving the goalposts, all the application was done by the HR dept and the company has people on 457s at the minute so I don't know what the hold up can be ???

Sounds like it's time to keep waiting. We had one that apparently was "forgotten" - was lodged at the end of June and we hadn't heard anything since 14 July. I emailed the case officer this past week to see if they needed anything, and the next day the visa was granted - I can only assume we were somehow forgotten about. If you or your employer have not inquired in the last 30 days about whether you can provide any further documents, might be worth it.

Best,

Mark Northam
