May3rd

Haha it would have been great if we got our grant in 7 days.. We got it on 9th August 2017. 1. When you check your application it will mention health has been finalized for this person. Its pretty expensive to do the medicals so dont do it unless the CO asks for it. 2. We did not attach any documents with the stat dec but did mention that our payslips and mobile bills have the address on it.

Hi Guys We just got our direct grant. Applied on 3rd May 2017 Direct grant on 9th May 2017 Background: My partner was the primary applicant. We submitted all possible documents at the outset. This included work contracts, payslips, and bank statements for both of us as we had both fulfilled the employment conditions. In addition we also submitted lease agreements and utility bills. When we first moved to Aus we were living with our family and supported the residence requirements with a statutory declaration and car registration. No medicals were requested for both. No ielts scores were requested for the secondary applicant as we submitted university transcripts to prove that 5 years of secondary education was completed in English. Pcc for both India and Australia were provided as we went overseas for a holiday for a little over 4 weeks. Wishing you all the best and thank you for your advice.

Hi did you submit her college transcripts to show medium of instruction as English?

Q1- You need to prove 35 hours per week. It need not be continuous 52 weeks. And its ok if you worked multiple jobs Q2- Not sure about the overtime. It should be counted as long as the number of hours worked reflect in your payslip

Congratulations.

Any grants today?

Yes it is accepted. You need to prove minimum 35 hours per week

Just follow the link on the border.gov.au website. Think they are the same. It is very quick. We got ours in 1 week. Can you also confirm if they requested new IELTS scores for the secondary applicant?

Do you have an agent? Please check your emails daily..even spam n junk mail. A friend of ours missed the email from a case officer and it created alot of issues.

Can you confirm what her ielts scores were? I hope we arent asked for it again as well

Also Im a new member and we applied for the 887 visa on 3rd May 2017.

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.
