457 visa timeline...2012 applications

apcapc BrisbanePosts: 147Member
edited May 2012 in Employer Sponsored Visas
I am starting a thread for those who lodged a 457 visa this 2012 so we have an idea of timelines:

My timeline:
30 April 2012 e457 lodged
09 May 2012 additional indo requested
10 May 2012 primary applicants health requirements finalized


dependent's online status
30 April 2012 health requirements outstanding

Yung online status ng dependents ko hindi na nagbago. Hindi ko alam kung bakit outstanding pa rin ang health requirements nila. Yung meds namin ay ginawa last year pa kaya di ko alam bakit hindi pa finalize yung sa dependents ko while yung akin finalized na.

We are going to be 3 weeks from lodging on Monday. Hoping to get the visas before the end of the month.

    Hi, kaka lodge mo pa lang... take it easy wag masyado atat isipin mo na marami kayong nag-apply ng visa at kaunti lang ang CO... noon ang pinaka mabilis ay 3 weeks dipende sa skills malamang mga more than a month yung visa application mo.

    good luck... cheers..

    Anong visa ba ang pinag usapan ng employer at husband mo? 457 visa ba? If 457, there are 3 steps:

    1. Employer applies to DIAC to be a sponsor (eto yata pinaka matagal na process). Hindi ko alam gaano katagal kasi approved sponsor na yung employer namin before ako na offeran ng job kasi marami na siya na sponsor dati.
    2. Employer applies for nomination to DIAC. In this stage, ino-nominate yung husband mo as a potential employee and yung position niya. Dapat yung salary niya ay market salary rate at aabot sa TSMIT (sa ngayon ang TSMIT ay $49,330). Yung nomination ko na-approve in 2 weeks.
    3. Pag approve na nomination ng husband mo. Apply na ng 457 visa. Dito yung mga documents na ng husband mo ang kelangan submit sa DIAC. Process could take 2 weeks to 12 weeks. Yung iba swerte 2 weeks lang approve na, yung akin 3 weeks na wala pang result.

    Chances ng approval or rejection, DIAC lang nakakaalam. Usually yung sponsorship at nomination part ang critical.

    As for the documents, I do not know what documents will be needed from your husband as proof of experience kasi usually certificate of employment ang binibigay pero sa case ng husband mo ay self-employed siya, right? Baka mas mabusisi ang DIAC sa requirements to prove yung work experience niya.

    Mas mabuti kung may Migration agent kayo. Usually naman yung mga employers sila na kukuha ng agent para mag ayos ng papers.

    Sorry, misunderstood ko, yung may trading business pala ay yung employer sa Australia. Akala ko yung husband mo ang may trading business. So employee pala siya dito sa Pinas.

    Anyway, yung verification bihira nila tawagan yung previous employers pag 457 visa pero meron din iba na tinatawagan. Yung akin may previous employers ako na wala akong certificate of employment at hindi naman humingi yung case officer. Baka dahil 6 years na ako sa current employer ko at may employment cert ako sa current employer. Ang hinihingi lang naman sa application form ay employment history for the past 3 years (I think because this is enough experience to prove you can do the job) pero sa resume isulat lahat ng employment history lalo na kapag related sa job offer.

    Hindi na kelangan CHED certification. Scan nyo lang original diploma and transcript. Kung colored yung original yun na isubmit ninyo pero pag black and white yung original, ipa photocopy them ipa certify as true copy sa notary public. Patatakan nyo CERTIFIED TRUE COPY OF THE ORIGINAL sa notary public.

    Reply to @simpana: depende yun sa occupation mo. Pag kelangan ng licensure or registration sa Australia and that licensing body requires IELTS then required siya. Ako hindi na ako nag IELTS dahil hindi kelangan sa occuoation ko. Certificate of English as medium of instruction from the school lang yung binigay ko. Kung may Migration agent ka, depende din kung hihingi yung agent mo

    hi, kailangan may private insurance.

    Basahin mo ulit yung employment contract na binigay sa iyo kung kasama ang health insurance sa package sa contract mo. kung kasama means sila ang magaapply sa iyo ng health insurance. Para makasigurado ka basahin mo ulit muna yung pinirmahan mo na contract. kung wala naman at malaki naman ang sahod mo ikaw ang magbabayad. pero usually talaga sagot ng employer yan kasama na sa package including minimum of two weeks free accommodation.

    ito yung Quote para sa 457 visa

    pinaka mahal ata ang medibank mag research ka rin sa ibang health insurance.

    Goodluck.....

    Hi, I need your advice regarding sa countries visited on my 457 visa application online:

    Ang declared residential address ko po kasi eh Singapore since I've been working here for the past 3 years and bihira lang ako umuwi.

    sa form may nakalagay dun:

    1. In the last 5 years, have you, or any other person included in this application, visited, or lived, outside PHILIPPINES for more than 3 consecutive months (other than Australia)? I answered Yes

    Then sa next page ang question:

    2. Give details of the visits to another country where the stay was for more than 3 consecutive months in the last 5 years (not including your usual country of residence or Australia).

    So I am assuming na related to sa question 2, Singapore is my declared residential address, should I include it? I was in Philippines for the first 2 years of the last 5 years before coming to Singapore, should I declare it? If I declare Singapore, required ang From(dd/mm/yyyy) and To (dd/mm/yyyy) dates, and since I am currently living in Singapore, wala ako malagay na TO date, and the system doesn't allow it (should be something like From dd/mm/yyy - present). If I don't declare anything, I am afraid it will contradict with question #1.

    Please advise
