Thanks @Ken this is very helpful

Can someone help me with another question. Having a baby during the processing time of 887 visa (before 887 is granted) How does this impact the process? What is process of adding baby to our ongoing 887 application Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot, yes you are absolutely right..

You have a valid point, thanks so much. This bridging visa thing may be a recent change.

Thank you.. actually this makes sense.

Home affairs help line only provides general information, I don't think they can be any help regarding the errors in applications. May be we'll have to wait till the technical team comes back Thank you

Thanks Nudgee, We had the same doubt, but it says on the Immigration website that we now can complete conditions both Bridging and 489 visas, Our agent also confirmed this. Please see below @nudgee "The person seeking to satisfy the primary criteria must have met the subclass 887 work and residence requirements and held one or more eligible visas for a total of 2 years before a subclass 887 visa application is made. An eligible visa means either: a subclass 489, 495, 496, 475 or 487 visa, or a Bridging visa A or Bridging visa B, after having made a valid application for a subclass 489, 495 or 487 visa"

Hi there Need some help if anyone had similar experience- 887 visa lodgement error Our migration agent is having an error saying " you do not have a valid prerequisite visa to enable use of this service" and he is unable to submit the application. Our 489 visa granted in Sep 2017, however we had the Bridging visa activated since 30 May 2017 after applying for 489 visa. We had been overseas for only 17 days during that period. Accordingly we have completed living & working conditions since 30 May 2017 an we complete 2 years exactly by 17 June 2019. (combination of bridging visa+489 visa since May 2017) We cannot think of why we are getting this error... very frustrating !! Our agent has submitted an inquiry with immi account technical team, God knows when they are going to reply Any thoughts friends ? Thanks so much @Russki
