Visa subclass 457 can apply anywhere

Many people have enquired about the differences between lodging visa subclass 457 application offshore and onshore. Visa subclass 457 has gone through many reviews and scrutiny and it has been refined many times. Personally, I am pleased with how the visa subclass 457 operates. Realistically, there is almost no different between offshore and onshore application. Apart from onshore application will get a Bridging Visa A once the application has been lodged, while offshore application will not receive any Bridging Visas at all. That is just the nature of all offshore visa applications anyway.

Therefore, offshore visa subclass 457 applicants can come to Australia and wait for their visa outcomes in Australia. It is just a matter of getting another visa to come to Australia and wait for the outcome.

In fact, visa subclass 457 is quite fast in term of processing timeframe. Based on my experience, visa subclass 457 can be granted within 4-5 weeks. That's  not long at all. Again, this is based solely on my experiences!

Those who have the concept and mindset about the differences between lodging visa application offshore and onshore for visa subclass 457 need to change their mindset a little bit.
