HeyMate

IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU APPLY NOW. AS PCC & AFP BOTH HAS 12 MONTHS VALIDITY/EXPIRY INCLUDING MEDICALS IF REQUIRED eg: new born. I HAVE DONE PCC AND AFP FOR MY BOTH 489 & 887 VISAS BEFORE I APPLIED, AS I ALWAYS LIKE TO APPLY AS DECISION READY VISA APPLICATIONS INCLUDING MEDICALS; SO THAT WE CAN RECEIVE AND ALSO GOT DIRECT GRANTS.

Hi Russki, Just was thinking about you. Why they are making you to wait!! ? Life is just stuck this way. Not fair... ?

Your case looks to be clear, as you have payment summary and payslips. On you payslips, each payslips should have at least 35 hours. So, 35hrs X 52 payslips should cover your work requirement. Now, what you said you work on ABN, is that correct? If so, you need letter from your Tax accountant and also TAX paid letted from ATO. Also, your Banl statement showing each 52 weeks payment depositing in your account. Moreover, r u on Family sponsored 489 or state sponsored? Which state do you live in?

Hi wincivil, is this weekly 50 hrs or fortnightly? Is this total 50 hours paid constantly or is this the time to are active online only? Also, to help you further, what types of documents do you have for visa application?

Hi slvicky, you do not need to certify any document at all (unless COs specifically ask for), I never certified any document, payslips were bw and emailed copy which I submitted. For other documents, colored scan copy is fine.

Hi _887, you need at least 52 payslips with minimum 35 hours on each payslips (not less than 35 hrs on any of them) by law. So, sorry to say, I do not think you have any chance of winning the grant. It's your choice now; may be to withdraw your application and collect minimum 52 payslips with 35hrs minimum and then resubmit your visa application. (I am not a migration agent, and I am just giving you my opinion).

All of a sudden they been very slow. Seems like all these are govt planned. It's not only 887, it's all visas. seems like Something going on inside.

Hi vivek, try to upload your bank statements in your work proof (in your online immi account) showing salary deposits of min 52 weeks. You can scan first page of your statement where your name and address is stated and only pages where your salaries are being deposited into the account. This will prove both work and residential address. It is very important. Also your super statements. You can upload new documents anytime before your Co opens your file and this will not delay your processing at all. I have uploaded different documents multiple times when ever I thought was needed, even have uploaded documents before very close to visa grant.

Hello, you can do medical for any of your family member including your baby by logging into your online immi account. Then you have to click on New Application > Health > My Health Declaration. When filling up "My health declaration" you just need to put yourself as primary applicant and then in the field of "Accompanying family Member" just add your baby. Do not need to add any other family member there. Then just submit. After that just click on your baby's name > organise health examination> fill up medical history > it will create HAP ID just for your daughter. Then you call bupa, book appointment and they will do her regular check up. No x-ray or no blood test. Moreover, you do not have to create HAP ID for yourself or do not have to do any medical for yourself, just leave that as it is, do not touch. After doing medical for your baby, log into your e-medical and download e-medical completed sheet which will have baby's picture and status will say completed. > Then you just upload this with your visa application. Hope this helps. Ask me if you have any other question.

Hi Tsep, thanks mate. New born was 1 year 4 months at the time of application and was added & granted 489 Visa after she was born straightaway, before 887 application. I did explain previously in this forum the process and steps to do medicals for new born before 887 visa application. Please see my previous posts in this forum.

Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Almighty Allah, we just have received our 887 GRANTS!! Feeling very happy. Thanks to all of you for being a strong support while we were waiting. And wish all of you best of luck. Application date: 06/11/2017 All documents front loaded including new born's medical. Grant date: 16/04/2018

Haha. That's true. I think I was dreaming other day at night, it was actual dream, that I was waiting/afraid when visa will be granted on the dream as well. So scary..... Our brain can not think anything else other than thinking abut these case officers....

887_2018, I am having pain by keep crossing fingers. I think I will need some pain relief rub cream or crap bandage. Haha

Vayani, AFP and PCC has 1 year validity. So, you do not need to get new AFP. Case officers asking others new AFP because, either the file format they have uploaded is corrupted/can not be opened and case officer's side, or Name spelling not matching as per passport or they had previous names (before marriage) that is not on th AFP certificate.

Hello Puneet, Any news?

If they have processed 3rd Nov 2017 on 09th Apr 2018, then what they have done rest of the whole week!! Anyway, i think I am going to apply for the position of Visa officer as soon as I can.

yup, they are having weekend party and we are having our sad patience party. They kind of have no feelings............ Sometimes they run to show they are working, and sometimes sit back, have coffees and relax..... they have 10 long months to blow dust from a file... Just feel like to cry

It's very painful, don't understand why they don't get it. Just intentionally delaying the visa process. We are in mental pressure, they try should feel that.

Hey 10year wait, Any news from your side today?

What is going on!! Patience is breaking and tension is going up n up!! With one Co how many visas can we get? On top of that no sequence or theory about how they work!! Just veryyy confused Can't express in words about how we are feeling!! We have no where to ask or query about about application. All they want is to shut up, be quite and wait..... Never ending wait..... Allah, please help us to gather more patience and give us good news.

Congratz Kun!!! Very good news!!!

Hi Tsep, you can do your newborn's medical now without waiting for your Co. So that when Co process your file you will get grant straight. Otherwise Co will ask for medical and then you will go back to que again.

Congratulation brother!!! When did you receive the good news today, time? Was it from Adelaide or Brisbane at the bottom of the grant letter?

Hi vivek, I also have applied on 6th Nov 2017. What time around did you apply on 6th Nov 2017 ?? My prediction, Insha Allah, maybe 18th or 19th of this month will get the grant. If you have time, please update your details on our forum google tracker: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ApeHDAjEH60WFBNLeq14wvGzegiqGC4KD0U-OyH_w6U/edit#gid=0
