Hi @Tpsk you can also go to your super member's account online and get a screen capture of the transaction details. This is what I did and might be a good proof as well.?

Hi @nirmal warring, have you tried checking your entitlements with VEVO just to confirm this?

Congratulations @rajjj! You are the first of the 2018 applicants.?

Hi @sak745. In our case we applied for the AFP clearance and held it for almost a month before we actually applied for the visa.

Thanks @Russki you are one of the gems of this forum. Looking forward to the time when you will shock us all with a grant! That will be soon - for sure!

Hi @Honey no they haven't asked for it. Probably because she already did one when we all applied for visa 489.?

Congratulations @DarDec! Enjoy!?

Hi Manisha. I think you have to be onshore when a decision is made. In our case we phoned the Department about our travel plans. The guy on the line was very friendly enough to give us instructions on how to notify the COs about this.?

Hi @Freddy although some who went overseas did not compensate for the weeks they were offshore and still got direct grants. We just decided to delay our application a bit as interpretation about this tends to be relative. ?

Hi @Freddy within those 2 years before applying for 887, we went overseas for almost 4 weeks. We compensated for it by delaying our application for a month just to be on the safe side. Then recently we again went overseas for 3 weeks while the application is in progress. We have informed them of our travel plans and itinerary before heading off.

Mine is still showing as received. I am unsure if my overseas travel affected the processing of my application. I am still optimistic that I will be contacted soon.?

Thanks for this @DarDec. That is very encouraging.?

Hi @Russki, in my case (since i went overseas for 3 weeks and have notified them through email) do you think they will process our files after say 28 days?

Congratulations @Poonam! Enjoy!

Wow! Indeed a very good news! Congratulations Mate!?

Congratulations @ATJ! Cheers.

Thanks @Russki. Nice thought!?

I have phoned the Department a while ago informing them that we are now onshore (arrived from overseas last week). I was told that this is no longer needed. I am wondering if my application was already previously opened (and was queued in) or they are yet to open it based from the 'Received' status on my Immi. Any ideas guys? TIA.

Thanks Mate. Will do this first thing on Monday.?

Hi Guys, we have just arrived from overseas yesterday. Applied on 18/12/2017 and my application is still coming out as 'Received'. Will update all of you for any further progress.

Hi everyone. AMDG/DMSG here. I am still offshore and will only be back late next week. Applied on 18/12/2017 and my Immi status says my application is still 'Received'. Will surely update all of you once something comes up.?

Congratulations @DEV! Cheers!

In my case I submitted a certificate of employment following the prescribed format from Immi's website. I also attached a copy of my signed contract and job description. I reckon feel free to attach pertinent documents which will further make your application solid as long as they are all true and consistent.
