If you know what doom and gloom means then I am sure you can figure that out for yourself by reading posts

It may or may not be possible, get the correct info from an agent. However if you are already on the pathway to 887 then it may not be a good idea changing pathways. Firstly it is very costly and secondly with the current pandemic it would be unwise to put yourself at the mercy of a system and policy that may change at anytime. The department may put a lot of visa applicants on hold so if it were me I would not touch it. Taking advise from this forum may not be such a good idea when there is so much at stake. We all make speculations and assumptions, but none of us know for sure what the complexity or outcome may be. Remember if you are denied another visa type then it may put at risk your current pathway.

Good luck mate. Always a good milestone when you have put your application in. Hopefully the members here will provide you with good info. The wait has been a bit long for all of us but best to ignore some members who will only tell you doom and gloom. It does not take 3 to 5 years to get an 887 grant.

The article is very clear. If you need confirmation then you can consult the agency that wrote this article, they are very good

Just shared a link to the article https://www.australiavisa.com/immigration-news/from-a-489-to-a-887-visa/

Hi all, a nice article for all those with an interest regarding the ins-and-outs of the 489/887 process and associated bridging visa conditions, etc. Some of which we already know but some good additional info. Even more helpful to those who are new applicants to the 887 https://www.australiavisa.com/immigration-news/from-a-489-to-a-887-visa/

Overall 4.5, there is no limit to the lowest score

Fantastic mate, congratulations

Relax mate, I am on your side!

Absolutely

Have a good rest everyone. Holding thumbs for a good week next week

Again full of nasty unnessesary comments in your post. If you look at my history you will see my positive info sharing on this forum. You hide behind your keyboard, but I bet you would be unable to have a real conversation with me man to man. I won't be going anywhere and will continue to support this forum

I appreciate your constructive response. Although I do not agree with everything, I do however agree that this is causing angst and stress for many applicants. I am always positive that everyone on this forum will eventually get a positive result and that the processing time will eventually settle to something more reasonable

I was giving my opinion, nothing else. It's a pity you had to get nasty about my post simply because you did not like the points raised. I suppose it is easy for someone like you to hide behind your keyboard and to be brave without really adding something constructive to the forum

You obviously never read my post properly or cannot interpret it.
