employment seminar where there was a speaker from immigration and much discussion on the 457 visas. It is difficult at the moment to get people through on a 457 but now with the kerfuffle over the doctors and terrorism (and yes they were here on those visas) there is about to be a policy and guidelines change which is going to make the background checks more extensive and will take between 6 and 12 months for a visa for someone who in an occupation in demand. The rest will take even longer.
