Thank you again, really appreciated.

One more thing if you don't mind, what are the Group Certificates?

Regards

Raed

Mate, i get really confused with this as well. So, i attached both the Payment Summary received from the employer and tax assessment statement from the ATO for both the years.

Hope this helps. Attach as many documents as you can (keep a check number of documents can not be greater than 60).

Cheers,

Congratulations Mate, and thank you for the great inputs.

would you please give the wording used in the (Reference letter from the employer) so we can follow the same?

Moreover, when you say certified, do you mean getting the documents signed by a (justice of the peace) holder?

 

Thank you again, and wish you good luck all the way through.

Raed

Thanks a lot mate. Happy to help.

Your employer already must be having a specific pattern/template on your company letterhead. I just told my boss and he gave me the letter specifying the roles and responsibilities and i'm a full time employee and date when i started.

Yes, get them signed by Justice of Peace.

Let me know if anything else is required.

Cheers,

Congrats mate. 

I applied on 29/07/2017. Don't know what happened? I have applied for wife and 2 children.

Did you upload passport photo?

Thanks mate..Yes, i did upload passport photo. You can get that clicked from Australia Post.

Congrats Voz... quick processing (2 months 23 days), really good. Do you mind sharing the list of docs you have attached?

Thanks mate..Yes, indeed it was quick i was expecting Rali's grant letter first and then mine later this week but i got it before that (can't ask for anything more).

I'm the only applicant. So, based on that i got a list from Noelle (another 887 applicant from this forum) and attached the following documents. Happy to give more clarification on the docs as well.

Doc list:

- Reference letter from my employer

-Employment Contract from my Employer (certified)

-Payslips (compiled all my payslips and saved in 1 pdf file, not certified)

-Group Certificates (tax statements, certified)

- Bank statements (not certified)

- Rental Bond letter and payment ledger (certified)

-Tenancy agreement (certified )

-Utility Bills (not certified)

-AFP and PCC from my country (not certified)

-Superannuation statements (not certified)

-Form 80

- Identification proof such as: Birth Certificate, Passport bio page, Driver's license, Photo ID (not certified)

If documents are scanned colored, you don't have to certify them. If they are not colored or photocopies, you have to certify them. Hope this helps. All the best with your application!

Congrats Sam.

I am after you in google docs https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ApeHDAjEH60WFBNLeq14wvGzegiqGC4KD0U-OyH_w6U/edit#gid=0

Applied on 29/07/2017.

Could you please tell me whether you uploaded 'Photograph - Passport'? I haven't uploaded yet. If it's mandatory, then I can upload for my wife, myself and 2 daughters.

Hi Rali,

I'm on the next day after you.I have uploaded the photograph (to be on the safer side). But best to wait for Sam's reply.

Good luck to you :). It would be good if we can in touch when we get an update from the Immi department.

Is there anyone who can help me.  I was planning to apply today. I will have 709 days for today my IELTS is expiring today too. 

Hi there,

If you are the main applicant, you don't need to worry about IELTS (if you are on 489 visa). You must have already provided that when you applied for 489 visa. If we take out IELTS of the picture, i would suggest wait for 3 weeks to be safe and then apply rather than getting rejected. 

I'm no expert in this field. I delayed my application by 2+ weeks even though i was out of the country for total of 35 days in 2 years (i spent 35 days abroad in the second year)..

Hope it makes sense.

Any News yet..?

Wish you guys all the best. I'm on the waiting list as well. Good to see that June grants have started coming through

Hi All,

I have updated the sheet with the visa lodged date. I haven't received my bridging visa letter (when i click on the bridging visa link i can't see the letter but only the acknowledgement letter). I have got my acknowledgement letter via my email. So, there is no problem with the email access. I called the immi asking about the same but they say they can see it on their end (don't know why it hasn't been shared with me). Has anyone faced anything like this? Can someone help me on this one please ?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Thanks mate for your reply. I called the department and they say it's fine. 

Congrats lfte20..

I want to double check something. I filed my application last week and i got the acknowledgement letter as well. I'm the only applicant but i had to mention about my parents and my brother in the application (as non migrating members). Now, in the acknowledgement letter i have got myself as the main applicant but my parents and my brother's name also appear as non migrating members. Do i need to fill in form 1023? (i don't think so). But, can please someone confirm this? (Don't want to delay my application because of some silly mistake).

Cheers,

Voz

Hi All,

I lodged my application couple days ago. Now, in the application status i'm clicking on the View bridging visa grant notification link but can't see any bridging visa letter. The link only shows the acknowledgement of application received letter. I haven't received anything via email. Can someone guide me how to get the bridging visa letter?

Hi Friends,

Just few questions!

QN 1)Is there anybody who got 887 granted with out overseas PCC?

QN 2) If we apply for Indian PCC at VFS Brisbane, How long it will take to get it?

I have applied 887 in first week of may 2017. No CO contacted yet .I didn't submitted Indian PCC( traveled 2 times while in 489). Don't know whether to apply for Indian PCC now or just wait CO to ask, as CO allocation seems to be close for May First week applications.Friends, please advice.

, 

Hey Jose,

I have read on this forum only that even if you have got your PCC while you applied for 489 you still need to get a PCC from your country. It's a safe option to get it done before you apply (if you have) else the CO might ask for it. 

Lot of people have commented on this forum that CO asked for PCC and then you submit for PCC and the process gets delayed. So, better to get it done. I also got it done last month and it took me 7 working days to get it.

Cheers,

Voz

Im pretty sure even our application did not accept the visa number..we just went on to the next questions. Our agent advised us that it was only the old visa labels that get accepted.

Thanks mate..

Hi All,

Need a bit of help. Where do we get the VISA Number while applying for the application in immi.gov.au account?

My visa number from my notification letter is not accepted.
Any idea how I can get this 11 digits number based on my visa number from my letter?

Pcc,s from Australia and overseas , are 100% needed for 887 visa application. And if u already have them, then make sure they are valid. Bcos pcc have only 1 year validity as far I know. So pls don't waste u r time other wise there will be lots of delay for ur 887 visa grant.

good luck all?

Many thanks..Really appreciate your prompt reply.

since I read this , thought of commenting for the 1st issue

I had similar issue for 6 months. i gave them mobile bills, bank statements and an affidavit (just to be safe) 

Thanks a lot for the help. Will get an affidavit for the same.

For PCC, i have applied it in Australia. Do i need to get it from India as well (i have a PCC which is 2 years old while i was applying for my 489 visa from India)?
