  @eneleam processing time of partners visa is 9-12 months.. Case to case basis.
  
  Does ur bf 457 visa already granted?? What is his relationship status when he applied his 457 visa? If he declared that he is in a de facto relationship you should be included staight away on his visa as dependent. If it's not, ask his employer to include you as his dependent in the sponsorship and apply as dependent 457 visa, much easier compare to applying a de facto visa.
