Hi guys, just lodged the application but still can not upload documents

Congrats Bunny! No passport size photos needed?

Got it! Thank you Russki! I’m booking the appointment right now.

Hi HeyMate, I’ve got her referral letter already, as you said only 501 medical examination needed. But there is a list on the letter asked to take to the appointment. Please see the attached, the 3rd item...

Hi Heymate, I’m booking an appointment with BUPA but I don’t know what “ specialist’s report” is. How can I get it? It seems a must for the medical.

Hi HeyMate, No, I don’t. Actually, I only booked two weeks via airbnb and paid cash for the rest...:) Anyway, thanks for asking. Hope you good lucks!

Hi alexoir, many thanks for your suggestion! I understand the medicals for my daughter is inevitable, and I got the information from HeyMate that I could finish it before I lodged the 887application. I think this costs much less time than leaving it to CO. The other concern why I’d like to do it in March is that I spent the first 2 months with a local family via Airbnb. Unfortunately, I don’t have any utility bill as proof for the period. But I can get all the solid proof in early March.I don’t want to make any uncertainty, so I might as well give up the first 2 months. Take both of them into account, I think early March might be suitable...:) Thanks again and all the best wishes!

Thanks Tsep, No, not yet. I’m going to finish my daughter’s health examination first, then come up with the application. Besides, I need a latest utility bill as solid proof for residency. It will be early March.

Hi alexoir, Finally, i received my daughter’s 489 grant letter today. Now I can arrange her health examination for visa 887 in advance... Really really appreciate your help! And all the best wishes!

Hi alexoir, I did what you guided one week ago and found my daughter was added into my last finalised application for 489 today. But there is no same description “granted” for her as what the others of the family got. And i haven’t got any email from the mimi department yet. Is this OK? I just uploaded the copies of her birth certificate and passport in case the department need to check them again... Thanks for your reply!

Grateful for your help mate! And all the best wishes!

Hi mate, you mean only your daughter got medical examination done individually? Could you please show me how to finish it without you main applicant involved? I’d like to do it for my 8-month-old daughter soon. Really appreciate it!

Hi aug17, thanks for your reply. I understand now why we got different process to follow. My daughter was born in Australia and your daughter was born offshore, which leads to two different ways.Just like alexoir described. All the best wishes!

Thank you alexoir! Really appreciate your guidance! I’ll post all the docs tomorrow to Adelaide.

Hi aug17, do you mean you got your daughter’s visa 489 via your immiaccount? I was told it should be done via post. Confused! Could you please show me the process? Is it free?

Hi Sharky, I had a similar problem last Septermer when I posted my new born daughter's document to Brisbane because I'm in regional Queensland. I called DIBP after 4 weeks of no response and a very nice gentleman assisted me. He advised me that 489 is processed by the team in Adelaide SA. If you send your docs to any other city, they'd have to forward them to Adelaide to be processed and this can take ages. I therefore printed a new set of documents (I had retained soft copies), added a cover letter explaining my situation and addressed the letter to: GSM Team 10 (489 visa processing office) DIBP ( Now Home Affairs) GPO Box 2399 Adelaide SA 5001 I tracked my letter which was delivered to them the following day. 7 days after delivery, tadaa.....489 was issued to my daughter and we applied for 887 that same day and got medicare the following day. There's no time to waste??? Thank you so much alexoir !! I’ll do it as what you guided asap. Did you get medicare just after you came up with the application for 887? That’s pretty good. Thanks again and all the best wishes!

Hi Tsep, How did you get your daughter’s visa 489? And how soon? I mailed the required documents to the immi department office located in Sydney for the application of my 6-month-old daughter’s visa 489 last November coz my family live in NSW with visa489, but still no any response yet. I’m very annoyed because i can’t apply for 887 without that done. Have no idea of what to do... Please kindly respond. Many thanks!

Hi Nima, Did you get your HAP ID after you submitted the application for health examination? I didn’t click “submit application” coz i’m not going to do it right now. And i haven’t yet seen anything about HAP ID in the process. Please kindly response.

Thank you Rags, i think i might as well wait two more months cause i cannot give any other stronger evidence. All the best wishes!

Thank you Nima, all the best wishes!

hi rags, Same as you, i shared the accommodation with a local family for the first 2 months after i arrived in australia. So nothing can prove my stay but the statutory declaration and one letter for my TFN. Do you think that is enough as proof for the stay? Please kindly response. Thanks!

Hi Nima, How long did it take for your daughter to get the 489 visa? I mailed the paperwork to DIBP for my six-month-old daughter’s 489 visa two weeks ago but still no response yet. This is why I haven’t lodge the application for 887 visa. In addition, did you applied for HAP after your submitting the 887 application? Is there any link for it after the submission? Thanks!
