thanks guys

Hi Tpsk, did u fill form 1436 for your new born? i got another email from immi asking to fill form 1436 for new born and make payment asap. im not sure how much to pay , they have provided me a link that provides fees info, but it does not say subclass 887. confused? will call immi on monday.

hmmm got it, thanks yeah i will apply today.

oh thank, my husband is the first applicant and they had asked AFP. as he doesn not have a last name in his passport. maybe thats why they asked again assuming his second name as last name.

now this is strange, my baby is 10 months, i applied before baby was born applied on 19th oct. Baby was born in August. Included baby in Dec. But they did not ask medical for baby. i had attached form 1022, that i have a newborn in change of notification. teh documents had been requested yesterday, but i opened my immi account today only. i did not receive any emails from them i even checked spam folder. my baby has no bridging just 489 visa that too i requested in Jan , when i was travelling to India

Oh sorry forgot to mention - Dat

Oh Russki, i tell u i'm overjoyed even though no grants yet, but still assuming that my file is not lost and had been touched. now could you please tell me how long from here, guess 2 months is it??????? Mine was bit complicated case, i had baby after i applied, then my husband became first applicant and i became 2nd. even though i was the first applicant on 489. now i guess they are pretty quick, and i bet you will get it only by this month, u have been so positive on this forum, thanks for ur ideas, and kind words. I wish you all the very best!

Hi All, just opened my immi account, and have been asked for more docs, i did not receive any emails from immi though. Docs requested - AFP and Overseas police clearance, AFP for both me and my hubby were submitted, but i did not submitted my overseas police clearance, due to the fact that i did not travelled back. this is 8 months, and im glad even for a reason my file has been touched, although i waited for a direct grant, but have to be positive and wait at least for 2 more months now. @ ruski, rike, TSEP, poonam, and others who applied in Aug, Sep, Oct, i strongly pray that you guys will get grant by end of this month. To all those waiting, i wish you all get direct grants asap.

Yes bro same thing happened to me and my husband, we went to solicitor to sign the papers the apartment was under $500,000 as per new rule we had to pay $13,000. we also paid 20% deposit on the property, wasn't really worth it, ( will not suggest anyone to get into this till you get PR). Worst is that, the price didn't went up much, an renovation cost is hitting my head high. a PR soon, may solve my miseries of this , and will sell this and move back to Sydney.

lol yes mind not working bro!!! i applied home loan with 489. not on 887.

Hi Dar, sorry i did get home loan on 489, yes 887 is PR itself so u get 95% home loan and no stamp duty for first home buyer. also if you purchasing property in sydney or in NSW they have waived off stamp duty.

Hi Raman, this is what happened, when we got 887 visa, after 8 months, we thought to save our rent and buy an investment property where we can not forever till we get our PR, so we brought this apartment in nsw on 887 visa. we contacted comm bank who said they don't give loan on 887, we tried anz bank, but the interest rate was not good. so we approached st george bank who asked for 20% deposit. Last year only st george bank did give loan on 887, not sure about this year. when we were at the settlement stage our solicitor, told us about the stamp duty that we had to pay 13% (its not a new property). also regarding FIRB, both the govt and bank considers us as non resident for loan purpose, so we had to apply FIRB, if you do not apply FIRB its like a breach. the bank wont accept the application without FIRB. once our loan was conditionally approved we had been informed to apply FIRB. it took 5 days, then only bank processed our loan.

i pray the same for u! all we have to do is wait and pray.

Hi Su, we brought a property on 887 visa, unfortunately we had to pay 20% deposit. and also me and my husband applied for FIRB approval it will cost $5000 , without FIRB approval you cannot get a loan from bank. Last year when we had purchased only st George bank gives loan to non resident applicant. we also had to pay 13% as a stamp duty. was a hell lot of money. Bank consider 887 visa as on non resident, same as FIRB (Foreign Investment Reserve Bank). Hope this helps.

Hi Poonam, Im also waiting applied on 19th oct, anyways processing time changed from 8-10 months, am bit worried in my case, i still havnt got any case officers

same here, mine is 8 months, and no case officer allocated for me...... wonder if its a direct grant or what!!!! waiting kills, while the timeframe keeps on increasing.

yeah maybe, thanks ill call n ask

Hi All, I m bit worried, since i applied on 19 Oct 2017, and still have not been assigned any case officers, i have provided all required documents, except for overseas police clearance. as i haven't been out of the country much. I studied here, applied 489 , but than became secondary applicant, and made my husband first applicant. still no case officer, is this something to be worried about? i have seen people who applied in oct, had their case officers assigned btw feb - April, while few of them got direct grants.

yeah, Paras even August people also there waiting !!! wonder why they taking so long for us and then now rushing to 7th december, does not make sense at all! they should first clear the back locks, just being lil unfair on their part and our part.

True

Its so frustrating to see case officers still hanging on to back lock files , from August, sept & Oct. And then finally, update the time frame, as a failure to meet their own deadlines respectively. are we being punished to add a new born, an additional applicant?????????? priority should have been the legal requires that needed to be fulfilled. The whole time process, is worth going back to uni to brush my knowledge or having another kid, so dam frustrating. we are the clients, and is this is the customer service we being provided.

Congrats mate!!! i also applied on 19/ Oct....still waiting.

Congrats bro!!

Hi Vino, I have the same scenario baby born after i lodged my 887. - once you have received birth certificate for your new born, apply Indian passport. Once you receive passport. You then can update on your immi account ( Form 1022- Notification about your new born baby) I also emailed form 1022 and another form to immigration requesting them to add my new born to my application, Immi told me on the phone to also email them. I also updated the newborn details on form 1022. since there is no other way of adding new born. In regards to Indian PCC, i called immi, they informed if only i had been out of Australia for 3 months, then i should apply. In my case i didnt. But I may go ahead, and apply, just dont give them any reasons for them to get back to you, as this may only further delay teh process.
