HeyMate

IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU APPLY NOW. AS PCC & AFP BOTH HAS 12 MONTHS VALIDITY/EXPIRY INCLUDING MEDICALS IF REQUIRED eg: new born. I HAVE DONE PCC AND AFP FOR MY BOTH 489 & 887 VISAS BEFORE I APPLIED, AS I ALWAYS LIKE TO APPLY AS DECISION READY VISA APPLICATIONS INCLUDING MEDICALS; SO THAT WE CAN RECEIVE AND ALSO GOT DIRECT GRANTS.

Hi Russki, Just was thinking about you. Why they are making you to wait!! ? Life is just stuck this way. Not fair... ?

Your case looks to be clear, as you have payment summary and payslips. On you payslips, each payslips should have at least 35 hours. So, 35hrs X 52 payslips should cover your work requirement. Now, what you said you work on ABN, is that correct? If so, you need letter from your Tax accountant and also TAX paid letted from ATO. Also, your Banl statement showing each 52 weeks payment depositing in your account. Moreover, r u on Family sponsored 489 or state sponsored? Which state do you live in?

Hi wincivil, is this weekly 50 hrs or fortnightly? Is this total 50 hours paid constantly or is this the time to are active online only? Also, to help you further, what types of documents do you have for visa application?

Hi slvicky, you do not need to certify any document at all (unless COs specifically ask for), I never certified any document, payslips were bw and emailed copy which I submitted. For other documents, colored scan copy is fine.

Hi _887, you need at least 52 payslips with minimum 35 hours on each payslips (not less than 35 hrs on any of them) by law. So, sorry to say, I do not think you have any chance of winning the grant. It's your choice now; may be to withdraw your application and collect minimum 52 payslips with 35hrs minimum and then resubmit your visa application. (I am not a migration agent, and I am just giving you my opinion).

All of a sudden they been very slow. Seems like all these are govt planned. It's not only 887, it's all visas. seems like Something going on inside.

Hi vivek, try to upload your bank statements in your work proof (in your online immi account) showing salary deposits of min 52 weeks. You can scan first page of your statement where your name and address is stated and only pages where your salaries are being deposited into the account. This will prove both work and residential address. It is very important. Also your super statements. You can upload new documents anytime before your Co opens your file and this will not delay your processing at all. I have uploaded different documents multiple times when ever I thought was needed, even have uploaded documents before very close to visa grant.

Hello, you can do medical for any of your family member including your baby by logging into your online immi account. Then you have to click on New Application > Health > My Health Declaration. When filling up "My health declaration" you just need to put yourself as primary applicant and then in the field of "Accompanying family Member" just add your baby. Do not need to add any other family member there. Then just submit. After that just click on your baby's name > organise health examination> fill up medical history > it will create HAP ID just for your daughter. Then you call bupa, book appointment and they will do her regular check up. No x-ray or no blood test. Moreover, you do not have to create HAP ID for yourself or do not have to do any medical for yourself, just leave that as it is, do not touch. After doing medical for your baby, log into your e-medical and download e-medical completed sheet which will have baby's picture and status will say completed. > Then you just upload this with your visa application. Hope this helps. Ask me if you have any other question.

Hi Tsep, thanks mate. New born was 1 year 4 months at the time of application and was added & granted 489 Visa after she was born straightaway, before 887 application. I did explain previously in this forum the process and steps to do medicals for new born before 887 visa application. Please see my previous posts in this forum.

Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Almighty Allah, we just have received our 887 GRANTS!! Feeling very happy. Thanks to all of you for being a strong support while we were waiting. And wish all of you best of luck. Application date: 06/11/2017 All documents front loaded including new born's medical. Grant date: 16/04/2018

Haha. That's true. I think I was dreaming other day at night, it was actual dream, that I was waiting/afraid when visa will be granted on the dream as well. So scary..... Our brain can not think anything else other than thinking abut these case officers....

887_2018, I am having pain by keep crossing fingers. I think I will need some pain relief rub cream or crap bandage. Haha

Vayani, AFP and PCC has 1 year validity. So, you do not need to get new AFP. Case officers asking others new AFP because, either the file format they have uploaded is corrupted/can not be opened and case officer's side, or Name spelling not matching as per passport or they had previous names (before marriage) that is not on th AFP certificate.
