We can verify this with someone who got a direct grant. But finding a one now is the problem. They may not active now

I have a friend who applied on January 2017 and got their direct grant on April 2017. He told me that he didn't certify any documents and CO never asked for them and granted visa directly less than 3 months.

Oh god so it's not over.  

Yes, co contact the applicant multiple times if they require documents. We have some members in this forum, COs contacted them more than twice.

Do we need to certify it by JP or signed by HR manager with company seal is enough? 

In my case I have uploaded PDF payslips which emailed to me from my employers. They all are black and white. I didn't get certified them. I am worrying now, thinking they will ask me to do that as well. I applied on 8/11/2017 and still haven't got any response them. They haven't opened my file yet. I don't know what to do now. ☹️☹️

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. 

But it seems that they extend processing time each month for 887 visa. Earlier most of applicants got their grants less than 3 months. Now it's 11 months. Too frustrating and waiting is extended ??

i think,it's not true.

It's true mate. It's in their regulations

 I feel so bad now. Imagine.....if 887 quota is over, we will have to wait another 2 months and 12 days ????. What a tragedy this is. 

Friday ends with bad news ????

I wish the quota may still available 

Found it. Go to page 165. It's mentioned there.

887 Quota - Page 165

It's true. If the 887 quota is over for 2017-2018 financial year, we have to wait until 1st July 2018. ???????

This looks so annoyed.. nothing really happened after 17th Aprl 

Seems like they haven't finished files on 7th November yet. Dev is still waiting too

Dev,

Any update? 

Just now, nelakash said:

Very very disappointed. 

Early November files are not moving... Don't know when will come to 24th December.

I don't blame the case officer as they are only a few numbers and applicant are huge But why not Department engage more people to clear the backlogs????

Wish there is any way to make complaints about this.

Frankly speaking, every day I check at least 20 times this forum page and feeling sick not to see any grant news.  

I feel same. But I try to think we will get our grants soon. Sometimes it's hard to convince. But I keep trying. They should contact us someday ??

Just now, Kate said:

Good morning guys ??,

Another beautiful day. Wish you all the best. Hopefully we get our grants soon. Keep updated guys

I was too enthusiastic in the beginning as heard that it takes only 3 months two families that I know personally applied in July/August got their direct grants exactly in 3 months...I applied in November and now still waiting....

Yes, same thing for my friend. He applied on January 2017 and got direct grant on April 2017

Hope in the meantime, they won't surprise us with any bizarre changes to this visa category

They do whatever they wanted to do. They find nice reasons to point out too

we are getting there:) do not stress about it! The most important to get a direct grant and not to be put AGAIN on hold....for 1...or 2 or ...months. Today/tomorrow you will definitely get you golden mail

Thanks for the encouragement Kate ?

True.. May be the Day is not that far when processing time will say 10 Months - 1 year.... 

Definitely..When I was applying in last November, it was 5-7 months processing time. Now they increased it to 8-10 months. It seems that they are going to  extend it further ?????????? long headache for applicants
