I am an American and I just recently accepted an offer to come down to Australia. I will be receiving visa sponsorship and I was wondering how long it has taken people to get their worker visas approved, I know the official statement is that it takes between 3-6 months but has anyone ever received theirs quicker than that?

The overall TSS 482 application process (including submitting travel history, police clearance, medical, etc) took about 3 months. Once the employer submitted the application, it only took 2 business days for it to be approved

These stats are pre-covid so they may differ now

3-6 months would be fairly quick from my experience.

It really depends on a heap of factors ranging from the exact type of visa to whether your employer is accredited to whether the random government official looking at your nomination somewhere in the world (likely not in the US or Aus) decides you have to do a medical (it's about 50/50 from my experience) to whether anything randomly flags...

Your lawyer should be pretty dialled into the current situation and can hopefully at least tell you what they've seen with similar people in the last week or two.

Hi, how does a h1b transfer work? my current visa expires in 2024,but I’m on my first 3 years. If I do a transfer now, will the expiry date be the same? Or will it be 3 years out from the approval date of the new transferred h1b visa?
