Hi Everyone, Just got my grant 10 minutes ago! Applied: 25 Feb 2018. First Contact: 17 April 2019 CO: Nicci (Requested New AFP. Uploaded on 3 May 2019) Granted: 4 June 2019, CO: Nicci. Just me and my partner, no children. I have applied 2 times Bridging B, 1st was 28 Feb 2019, and 2nd was 31 May 2019 and it was granted on 3 Jun 2019, I would saved $145 if I just waited for few days But, at last, the wait is ended now! Much much appreciated for every information that everyone provided! Just to mention one thing which bothered me the most while I was waiting - English test. I applied my 887 just under 3 years before my IELTS expired. I read different stories about validation of IELTS , immi website says 1 year, and I read somewhere 2 years or 3 years.. My overall band was 7, so that clarify the validation is 3 years if you have higher English test result. (See the post from B33l 4/18/2019 at 1:43 PM) Wish all the best to everyone, and hope you all get your golden email soon!!!

My application status is "Further assessment" too.. First contact by CO Nicci for new AFP. Provided on 03/05/19 and still waiting...

Maybe we should keep the petition above water! I feel like last time it somehow worked (?) Had a few new COs back in mid April and it was raining grants and contacts! Reduce processing time for 887 PR visa to 7 months https://www.change.org/p/david-coleman-reduce-processing-time-for-887-pr-visa-to-7-months

I applied on 25th February 2018, got my first contact from CO on 17 April 2019 for new AFP. Uploaded on 3 May 2019 (was bit late cuz Easter and Anzac day...) and now is waiting..

Agreed.. another February applicant waiting here...

Hi Russki, I am very new to this forum (Wish I have found here sooner...). I didn't know I was suppose to update Police clearance once it expires... I got Email from my CO on 18 April 2019 and have uploaded me and my partner's new AFP clearance on 3 May 2019. Any idea how long does it take for COs come back to the cases that require more documents? Thanks!!

Thank you so much for this! Could you tell me where is this from? I have been trying to find the source mentions 3 years validation period but just couldn't find it!!

Hi everyone, just a question about the validation of IELTS test. I know immigration website says 1 year, but IELTS website says 2. Then I saw in the comment that sometimes they accept 3 years? I just wanted to know has anyone submitted IELTS that's within 3 years and got accepted? I took my IELTS test in 2015 and submitted my application in 2018, it was within 3 years. My overall band was 7, and have been living in Australia every since... It's not likely my English ability would down to under 4... Also, can anybody add me to excel sheet? I submitted my application on 25 Feb 2018. Thanks a lot!
