Waoooo, finally it came. The mentor of the 887 visa wonderers. I'm very happy to hear this. Your long journey through this has resulted in many people benefitting from your experiences. ALL THE BEST THE KIND RUSSKI

Mental Health especially, big issue among waiters of 887 visa. Also the feeling of being ignored after years of positive contributions to Australia

To be honest, I do not know the reasons the Co requested for more information. I think I took it easy at first as I thought it was going to be easy as the 489. At the end I tried to get things more organise such highlighting the salary transaction in my bank statement, and getting a stat declaration from my landlords instead of a simple statements. I added more invoices from GP and my studies as well as proof of residency. Whatever I red from the forum here that found made sense to me I added up. Only Cos know why they ask more questions. Cheers

Just print a commonwealth stat declaration form and get her sign it.

Sorry, I meant AFP (Aust fed police)

I have following this forum form the outside and I found great interest into the information share here. Wonderful people. Just to let you know that I have got my grant today by Sopbron Applied 28/01/2018 First request: 03/09/2018 (Adam) Asked about address and employment and VP. I lived in a shared house so I just get a statutory declaration from my landlords (learned about stat declaration from this forum) and added up my invoices from medical and studies I did. I didn't apply for medicare as it does not affect me (doing fine from work) . I reattached my bank statement with highlights on the salaries, and attached permanent employment contract(no issue here because I have a permanent job since 2015). I travelled overseas for 6 weeks (no worry about travelling as lons as u don't exceed 3 months). I advise each one of you here to renew you VP when it reaches 11 months (much safer). I have always taken this process easy as my understanding is that as long as we haven't committed a crime, this visa is going to be granted later or sooner. So please everyone relax and focus on building your future. I know many have plans (like buying houses). But again take it easy please. Thanks you all of you here and all the best. @Ruski the legend of the forum I will celebrate the day u will get the grant. I hope it is very soon.
