Hi Guys, Until you getting the PR (887), you have to follow the substantive visa rules .(i.e.489). Don't be hurry to move metropolitan areas after lodging the 887 visa.

Hi All, We got our platinum grant today 3pm. We spent 16 months and 29 days. Applied 01/03/2018 1st contact 14/05/2019 Spouse English C/o Michael 2nd contact 17/06/2019 PCC name not tally with passport name of the spouse. C/o Ashish Granted today by C/o Peter Thank you very much for this wonderful forum, I have educated much and I relief my stress by updating. I suggest you guys to submit all documents which are requested ( 887 check list) by home affairs web site. Wish you all to get the grants soon!

Hi, 489 is a ultra shit visa. 189 the best or at least 190. Both are permanent residence visas. Adelaide best to live if you have good job. State sponsorship is a bloody joke. They just dump people here and you have to look after yourself. Jobs are hard even odd jobs. No need to do IELTS again for 887 , If your spouse did the higher studies in English medium. Schools free for 489 but some schools you have to pay around $500 per year. Monthly expenses would be around $ 3000 for month. Its for just food and rental for 4 family. Do better research before come or come your self first and study the situation at least one month.

Hi Vinh, Yes, we are not jealous. But why they can't treat us "first come, first serve basis".

Many many...Happy returns!!! Of the day.

We are the modern skilled slaves of Australia being paying thousand of taxes to government without getting benefits. Nobody recognised us. We couldn't get good jobs without PR and all our families are suffering. Refugees and boat people have better privileges than us.

Hi, Happy belated birthday wishes! With PR. Nice happening after boring waiting.

Hi, Name appears on the passport takes as reference. That should be every where else. ( except higher education certificate's name) Marriage certificate may be the right document. Specially police reports' name and passport name should be tally.

17 Months 2 Weeks and 1 Day

Hi, If you already translated not necessary it for again. Bcz it already accepted them for 489. I did it same way.

Hi, If you pay for your friend get proof. Otherwise get the letter from him. You could count residency period while you staying with friend.

Hi, Department number is 131881 and I remember that they do not pick the phones on Mondays. I think you have to wait till open the file. Anyway try to call them.

Hi, But the problem is still we are in 489 and we have to adhere its conditions. At once I asked them but they did not give me clear answer. I think it is safe to stay restricted areas.

Hi, What to do mate. One of my friend applied 3 weeks later me. But he got PR 2 weeks before my first contact. Thereafter I got 2nd contact. I am still waiting. No point to complain within 18 months because same ready made answer we could expect.
