This only affects new intakes, the replacement 489 visa may get a new subclass number so as not to get wires crossed with current legislation. If you have already applied for the 887 then you would be in the clear.

This is for new migrants and will not affect you as far as I am aware

489 is part of the Permanent Migration intake, not 887. These issues relate to new migrants

You have traveled through time

It is possible that they are just requesting more proof beyond payslips and the employment contract/letter, if those are all you submitted? The bold ones are obviously other options that they are asking you to issue, I am sure you will have bank statements and Super info

Thanks Russki, I don't think we are far off reality, the future will tell. I do understand that not everyone has joined the forum or that there are silent followers, but there can't be that many

Fantastic news

Hi All, it is possible that not everyone saw my post last week, I still however find it very interesting. With new regional visas being introduced soon I am sure SC887 applications will dwindle even more in the future. It may not mean much but some interesting statistics when reviewing our group spreadsheet, which begs the question, why are 887 applications decreasing so substantially from month to month? I know the spreadsheet may only represent members on this forum but does the trend indicate the general trend across Australia? Could this be a reason why the immigration website explains that there is not enough applications to determine a timeline? Ofcourse it may mean that people are just not visiting this forum, but it is an interesting fact after immigration numbers were cut over the last few years and point requirements have increased for all visas. Number of sc887 Applications per month since 1 November 2017 until end Feb'19 (I could go further back which could further back-up the trend) Nov'17 = 45; Dec'17 = 36; Jan'18 = 47; Feb'18 = 49; March'18 = 13; April'18 = 26; May'18 = 11; June'18 = 12; July'18 = 10; Aug'18 = 8; Sep'18 = 9; Oct'18 = 5; Nov'18 = 5; Dec'18 = 8; Jan'19 = 2; Feb'19 = 8 In November'17 there were 45 applications, but in November'18 only 5!

This affects new intakes, not those already here

No mate, stop being negative. This matter involves new migrants.

Congrats, enjoy

Found it mate thanks

Thanks Raed, do you have a link for me, appreciate your help

Thanks Raed, how do you obtain your PCC, is it Dubai Police or through the ministry

How long were you in the UAE for in order for them to request a PCC?
