  Matagal talaga ngayon ang processing time sa 457 visa. Minsan aabot ng 5-7 months. It would take longer if you include your family on your 457 visa

  Hi guys I just wanna ask on how you were able to find employers to sponsor you in 457 visa? Nagtry lang kasi ako magsubmit ng applications sa seek.com.au. Graduate engineer positions inapplyan ko kasi kakagrad ko palang this June. Matagal na akong merong english exam (both IELTS and PTE) at positive skill assessment kasi original target ko 189 visa, pero ang tagal ng invite ko kasi low points lang ako even with superior english. Any insights for someone like me aspiring to get a 457 visa? Thanks!
