18 days to lodge an AEWV before the visa ran out, approved in a week
- Visa
- Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV)
- Time taken
- About 1 week after lodging
- Approved
- Nov 2026
We started on 12 October, ran the employer accreditation and Job Check in parallel, lodged before the client’s visa expired and saved them a visitor visa. Approved a week later.
We started on 12 October and ran the employer accreditation and the Job Check side by side, so the AEWV application went in before the client’s current visa expired. That saved the client the cost of a visitor visa in between.
The work visa was approved one week after lodging. Anyone who has worked against a visa expiry date knows how little room there is: every step had to land on time.
