There are certain service standard times DIAC adheres to for processing ENS sub class visas. It also depends on the country to which you belong to. If you are from low risk country it will be 5 months and will be 8 months if from high risk country, provided you have all the documents in place.Hi there
I was told that it takes 7 mths to process this visa 857, but others only takes few weeks to be allocated a CO and granted a visa, how true is it?
will DIAC check the company size, number of employees and revenue of the business?There are certain service standard times DIAC adheres to for processing ENS sub class visas.

The Employer has to meet/adhere to certain conditions/laws before he can sponsor an employee for ENS.will DIAC check the company size, number of employees and revenue of the business?
Thanks for ur reply.. i apprec it, the company is sponsoring is a franchise business and small in size and revenue, will it effect the visa being refused?The Employer has to meet/adhere to certain conditions/laws before he can sponsor an employee for ENS.
The rules and conditions are laid down for a purpose and DIAC has very right to check if everything is properly followed. Only DIAC would know if they actually carry out the checks of the company.

I agree with that but people has abused the system, some open franchise business and sponsor themselves or by close relatives, I am sure the immigration will not know this had happened.If there are income & revenue, employee and training requirements and the employer can not meet them they will not be approved as a sponsor. Only the employer and their agent will know if they can meet the requirements. But small business do sponsor so must be possible.
