Imagine what those of us who have only applied recently within the last month feel like, the processing times could get worse or better, we have no idea and will need to sit out another 10 to 12 months before we know

What you have highlighted may affect future migration but has less affect on current transitional visas such as 887 applications, unless they are cutting staff who process visa applications.

It may only be required for a newborn or if an applicant is applying for an 887 via another route other than a 489. There were other visas, I think sc476 (older visas not currently offered), etc that may not have had an initial medical. For 489 visa holders there is no further medical required.

It seems to be my work PC, I seem to get through on my phone All good

This is what I get when I click the link, which may be because I am on my work PC. May need to try at home. This site can’t be reached The webpage athttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ApeHDAjEH60WFBNLeq14wvGzegiqGC4KD0U-OyH_w6U/edit#gid=0 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED Anyhow I lodged on 10 December 2018 if you would like to update it, and using an agent. Many thanks Russki

Can't seem to get into the link, seems unavailable. Will try again later

Does anyone have link to the tracker?

Hi there, I lodged my application a few days ago on 10 December 18. Could you please update the tracker. I can update it myself if you send me the updated link, Cheers

I appreciate the info

Many thanks for the info

Hi all, quick question! When one lodges the application for the 887 visa, what documents do you use to approach Medicare for the temporary medicare membership? Is it the acknowledgement document from Home Affairs or is there another document that I should request?

Hi All, I have been an observer of this forum for a few months as I approach the day my application is lodged. My last document will be emailed this morning after which my agent will lodge my application later this morning on 10 December 2018. I completed my 2 years living in a regional area yesterday and been lucky enough to have full time employment for the full duration. I am therefore way behind the rest of you so I can only observe how your grants are progressing. I certainly hope the current waiting period of 12 months can be reduced in future. I am not desperate to move to the city as my company works all over the country on major engineering projects so I will still be regional for sometime on my current project. I enjoy the regional beach living for now. Obviously however the longer my 887 takes to be granted the longer it may affect citizenship eligibility beyond that. Anyhow good luck to all of you that have been waiting for some time, I hope your grants come soon and happy to join the queue with the rest of you, and ofcourse all the discussions that take place. All the best

If you run out of space in the preceding sections then you can add the additional information in these

Life is more than 'short term', it will affect future migrants who will I am sure also be applying for 887 visas and citizenship etc
