True Mate ! This is everyone's story . different people have different capacities of enduring stress. staying positive is the only key to stay calm. 100% with you. ? We need positive vibes around us. True. But being human there are times we give us, we stress, we panic , we break - we weep, those times all we need is little bit of relief and strength to get back in track and keep the head up. All good mate ! Hope we get a grant shower soon to cheer up everyone !! ?

Hi George, I do agree with some of your points.But this forum is something that relieves people who are waiting and helping when they need help. Sharing experience. As you said not everyone is the same and you never know what life will throw you at the next minute. there are some waiting to PR to move to a bigger city - some to buy a house- some to have kids- some to get help for their kid's child care - some to get the peace of mind- some to visit home country first time after 2 years - It's lot more complicated than your story . You are blessed with what you have in life - happy for you. Let's not make this forum a battlefield as we all are on the same boat - just waiting to move on . Little empathy and understanding would make a big difference !

Thought I will add something to this one. We got our PR mid July (applied 11th Jan ) and had certain things similar to your case. With regard to employment - Iam not sure about international company and ABN but you can add super statements, notice of assessments, bank statements to show salary debiting. With regard to accommodation with sister - we also lived with our brother for 8 months - you can certainly submit a stat declaration . We did the same . Also any address proof letters will be helpful. With regards to IELTS- I was the main applicant for 887 and my husband was the dependant - to proof his English we submitted his degree certificate , transcript which clearly stated that medium of instruction was English . With regard to form 80 - that's crucial - I filled it and got my husband to check and got someone else to check again to make sure everything is correct- double triple checking is well worth given the weight they are giving to form 80. With above- I ended up with a direct grant - I know not everyone's case is similar - but hope this helps a bit

COngrats Arfin !!!

And my friend Dat was working also last/this week - he ended up giving two grants l - next week Sophon - Nancy Wendy - all should be back ob board - fingers crossed

email was rec'd at 5.12pm - I think email shows my time here in Melbourne

MY STATUS IN IMMI ACCOUNT WAS RECEIVED EVEN AT 5PM YESTERDAY MELBOURNE TIME - I kept logging in and out to all day - 5.12 pm I got my grant- By received status it doesn't mean that they have not opened your file. Thats what I think.

As the dependent in 489 visa I submitted my degree certificate and transcript to prove English competency and 887 as the main applicant they dont ask any proof for main applicant - so I didnt submit anything

Thank you lovely soul.. You are such a wonderful being - I wont go anywhere and keep refreshing the spreadsheet till all 2 and 3 timers get the grant - and the day you get the grant - Russki we should celebrate - Thanks for your input for the forum and encouragement - stay blessed

Thank you all ... - here is my story We were on 489 and husband was the main applicant in 489 - In 887 I was the main applicant as I was in the same job for the all the time and for me it was easier to compile docs. First 8 months we were in a shared place so only had a stat dec and all letters as address proof (from ato, bank, bupa, super) We went overseas for 2 weeks and stayed 2 weeks to compensate that time just to be on safe side. We submitted Address proof and stat dec for shared accomadation Rent agreement. bond lodgement doc, electricity , water bills for second address Letter from employer , contract, payslips (Iam on a weekly payroll - so 1 or 2 for each month), super statements, tax assessments, group certificate, work hour summary, AFP and police clearance from home country Form 80 for me and husband degree certificate and transcript for partners English competency Marriage certificate , passport , birth certificates I applied via an agent and I imported my application and checked if everything was there and kept nagging him till he attached missing bits. At the end it all went well and this was a pleasant surprise - I was only hoping for an update by mid next week My CO was Dat. Hope I didnt miss anything. I will stay around to see your grants. I love that genuine happiness when we get everytime we see someone gets a grant. All 3rd timers second timers including Russki, Ricky deftown - fingers crossed. All freshers that were on the queue before me - I bribed them ? lol No peeps - yours should be on the way - For sure they should be working on your files. Well - Have faith and never lose hope or let waiting over rule your optimism. Its a hard journey - but we will get there Thank you peeps. I do love this forum and all hopeful souls

What I feel is they have already opened all files at least up until mine .. Depending on the complexity - may be I got grant earlier- my case its just me and my husband and same full time job over the years . Good news is at least we know that they have opened files till 11/01 - they are not catching flies as we thought ? So we can hope tomorrow or within the week we will hear the update for all who are waiting (first timers ) - from Nelakash to you.. Fingers crossed and we will have more grants tomorrow. Atleast we can have the peaceful thought that they have not paused processing again and we know that they are working on our files !

me and my partner - no kids

Yours wont take buddy -- have faith and I know its not easy to stay calm - but you will get a direct grant - fingers crossed!

No mate ..He rang me to give the news of grant ?

Guys !!! We got our PR !!! Just checked the immi after the call from my agent ! Will be back shortly with our doc list. We applied on 11/01 Thank you guys for all the support in the 6 months waiting Have faith we will all be there !!!

Thats only for * 5am to 8am on Wednesday 18 July 2018 * 9am to 9pm on Sunday 22nd July 2018 Probably wouldn't affect us at all.. as they are out of working hours. May be we all are making a lot of traffic in the immi server.. once in every 5 mins login and logout ?

Actually it's the third day (Friday was quiet too ) Our COs are probably too busy !!!

Then again back in end of March or FEb (cant recall correctly ) - there was a day when we had 6 grants !!! 6 grants !!! ( I think Iam not day dreaming ) So when they break the silence - we can hope for the best !! (I hope Iam not too optimistic lol)

Same here Russki ..Iam putting much effort to stay calm ? to stay positive .. May be I should meditate ... lol... Anyway I hope this afternoon we will see some grants coming in!!!

I think it's as of the application date - which means including the application date - just tried to read other forums to see if any more info.. but all says 2 years i.e 730 days - but logically shouldn't it be including the application date?

2 years = 730 days - Found a calculator below - You will be fine .If you arrived on 28/12/2015 2 years 27/12/2017 (for an example) - also 2016 there were 366 days - you are safe https://planetcalc.com/410/

? LOOOOONG DAYS !!!!!! NO NEWS !!!!

Lucky you!!! Just check mine and being the partner I also have the aame conditions same as main applicant.. then again We applief back in 2015 mau be process has changed? Anyway if your visa allows you to stay and work any where I dont think tgere will be anh issue Sent from my SM-G610F using Tapatalk

Thats news to me.. Iam also on 489 visa.. In my visa I have the same conditions as the main applicant.. So as far as I know conditions are same as both main applicant and dependant on the same visa.. then again I might be wrong.. I will also try to find more info.. meanwhile what does it say in your 489 visa grant? Sent from my SM-G610F using Tapatalk

Hi JT, Welcome to the forum . the area you work - is it not in the designated area in your 489 visa ?
