Hi everyone..hope you all keeping well during this unprecedented times...need some advise from experts here

 

Initial application for 887 September 2019

First contact June 20th 2020...CO requested Functional English...submitted in 2 weeks time.

second contact 2nd July requesting for Baby medicals...submitted in weeks time.

third contact 20th July requesting Baby Passport...submitted in 10 days times.

Now things have gone quite...no new request until now...like everyone out there who is eagerly awaiting Grant...same question from me...whats the trend if after 3 request and all docs are onboard...how much time for Grant.

Stay safe

 

You might get the grant in a month time after final submission and hitting the confirmation button. Also try to complain/feed back for your application.

There are no waiting times. You could be eligible for family tax benefits and Parenting among others. Just apply, like I did... Waiting for outcome. In my case I have 3 kids and my wife has not returned to work with no maternity leave... Been hard.

Is it family tax benefit A or B for which you applied?

Should we also apply for medicare safety net?

Hi guys, I received my grant already but I need to upload my newborns passport. I dont see an option to upload documents online once your application has been finalised. Anyone has any idea?

Email to skilled.support@homaffairs.gov.au followed by a call to confirm might be an option.

Hi,

Any idea how much time CO take to revisit your application after you confirm the submission of requested docs?

Company doesn’t have logo.. its very small business, doesnt even have physical address

Even then try to write letter and get signed from manager/head with his full address. There must be a physical address if it is a company.

Hi Everyone

     Anyone faced a situation where company doesn’t have a letterhead..  What can we do in this situation

May be someone faced same, but i would suggest write your own letter and give to your manager to modify and sign for you. Try to print on with company logo.

Hi Everyone, Today I got first contact and I have a technical question please guide me about that. Application date 20 Dec 2019, first contact today. CO Judith

Question is I did not include my daughter in 887 and neither I got her 489 visa as she remained overseas for the whole time and never entered into Australia.( She was born after the grant of 489 but before our entry into Australia) Although, I showed her in dependent family list in 887 but did not apply for 887. I also wrote a cover letter to let CO know that she is is not included in the 887 application as she will stay in home country with grandparents for the time being and we will.apply her child visa in the future. Today, CO asked for my daughter's Medical and generated Hap ID. So, is it mandatory to give medical of dependant family member despite I did not include her into 887 visa.? 

Please let me know

Yes, she need medical examination. Anyone from your dependent list will go for medical even not moving to Australia this time.

Have you been contacted eg for additional docs at all?  Seems strange though as a lot 2020 applications have been granted already.

Contacted in June for functional English and new born medical.

Am I forgotten?

Applied as primary applicant on 5th June 2019, contacted in 2nd June 2020 for secondary applicant’s police check and English ability evidence. Submitted NPC and australia university completion letter on 18th June, nothing heard since that. Feel frustrated by seeing many ppl applied 8 months behind us got granted.

Donn't worry mate, May 2019 applicant is here

Hi all,

I am going to apply 887 next month and still under 489. My new born doesn't have a passport yet and I have already applied for it but it will take another 3 -4 months for the passport preparation. I have also posted the form 1022 to Home Affairs. Can I apply for 887 without my child's passport or do I have to wait for it to apply? It's a great help if one of you can advise me on this who is aware of this kind of a situation . Thanks. 

I would suggest you to apply without your baby's passport and mention in cover letter that you will submit it asap. Also submit the receipt as a proof that passport application is under process.

Could I ask about medical check for tolder? My boy is 2.5yo and he didn't have medical check before. Do you know whether he would need to atend one? And could we generate the HAP ID before CO contact?

Thanks

Yes your boy need medical and CO will generate HAP ID for you when needed. My boy is 10 months old and CO asked me his medical.

Hi,

After submitting requested docs the status of application changed from initial assessment to Further Assessment. What does it mean? 

Any suggestions/comments?
