Guys this will be my last post in this forum, just want to mention few things based on my own experience and study: 1) moving from one region to another is not an issue at all as long as you live/move within regional areas. We moved nsw regional to qld regional 2) doing 2 or more job to make 35 hrs weekly is not an issue at all - any 52 weeks during 2 years in regional is ok 3) if you have baby born after 489 Grant or after applying 887 and need to do medicals, do not wait co to contact you create hapid for 189/190 and do medical this is perfectly ok 4) update your afp if older than 12 months and overseas one if you have traveled, do not wait cos to contact you for this I have mentioned about English for spouse in my previous post. donot stress out but provide/update documents, ready for direct grant, you will be okay good luck

My last complaint was in December, generic answer on first few, second last requesting to keep minimum contact with department, last one saying no further reply will be given unless you provide new evidence to your claims, this matter is now closed by department so, better not try to complain before your application cross 90%current processing time, it’s just waste of your and departments time i strongly suggest to complain if your application pass 90% processing time

One of the applicant must meet primary criteria(2yrs living and 1 yr full time work). if your spouse is not the main applicant to fulfilling primary criteria and living overseas for valid reason, there shouldn’t be any issues

Should be enough

Some information regarding spouse English 1) 4.5 each band with overall 4.5 2) if you have submitted valid English(ielts/pte/other) at the time of application— you are ok, no need to stress 3) if you submitted English evidence after application, test given after application, if you just have 4.5 each with overall and if that test report is more than one year when co looks your application - they will ask new English test/evidence. in such situation give another test and be ready do not mix up the things and blame co, they look legislations and legislation says - either at the time of application or at the time of processing your English must be valid if you don’t take action, it’s your fault. i am about to complete my migraition agent course and I have learned it from there. my husband was sick that’s why i paid $4895 as 2nd vac instead of ielts/pte to speed up process. it is purely upto you guys good luck

You are right corrected

Grant late post got grant on 11/2/20 @6:52 pm applied 6/8/18- 2 applicant no kid first contact 29/10/19 alot complaints but didn’t work...no point making complaints if your processing time is not expired(above current processing time), i mean if it is under current processing time. good luck all

Congratulations! did you complain?

Lodge a complaint

Let’s force them to look into 887 applications please lodge online complaints if your application is over 19 months They are not looking into fresh application or opened applications, they are just opening files when they get complaints.

There’s no movement, They are not looking into fresh application or opened applications, they are just opening files when they get complaints. please lodge online complaints if your application is over 19 months

Congratulations! Did you complain?

Very quiet and frustrating day!

I don’t think so, last week many of june/july applicant complained and their file opened and granted. Situation a bit different now, they increased processing time and now they cannot complain. I was expecting they will go through july to August by this Friday but looks not gonna happen. When is my turn ? applied 6/8/18

Thanks, I applied 6/8/18 Contact on 29/10/19, submitted requested documents same day, hopefully I get email this week

Congratulations who is co requesting medical and today?

You can not send email to adelaide.gsm.team10 @ this is old email cannot send anymore

You cannot send email, they send you email from no.reply.gsm.allocated@homeaffairs.gov.au

Bad luck! when did you complain to commonwealth ombudsman? All they are saying is NOTHING WE CAN DO except WAIT

Congratulations! did you complain? what did they asked in ist and 2nd contact? who is co?

Have you complained? I think you better complain today, if they increase processing time you will be within processing time

Have you got your pr? Or any contact from department ?
