Hi

Adding family members in 457 takes like 3 - 4 weeks normally , one of my friend has done that recently.

However , it takes at least 2 months from delivery before you take long travel I hope so once you start the visa process immediately after delivery then it should not be an issue anyway.

thanks

Hi,
I have been granted 457 visa for me and my wife, but at that moment my baby was of 1 month ..and didn't have her passport... hence we didn't apply for baby's visa.

Right now we are in india. we have got her passport ready.

1.) I will be flying to sydney in june. where as wife and child will be in india until baby's visa is granted.

2.) What documents will be required for adding her to 457 visa.

3.) IS the process as long as applying for a fresh 457 .. like going through medical for infants etc..

Kindly confirm.
