So Jurgen, how’s that visa thing going, anyway?
Glad you asked. A mere 16 days after my previous visa expired, I got notification from DIMIA that I have a bridging visa – basically keeping me legal until they make up their minds about the longer term visa.
You have been granted a Bridging A visa to permit you to remain lawfully in Australia while your application for a Business (Long Stay) Subclass 457 visa is processed. The bridging visa will come into effect when any other visa you hold ceases.
Iddnt dat nice? Now I just have to wait for them to say yes or no on the 4-year dealie. I’m not terribly concerned, as I feel my employer and myself have a good case to keep me here. Time will tell.
So. Does anyone know anyone at DIMIA? [grin]
