Thanks. Yes we have submitted updated PCC and AFP. We also updated our address as we recently moved house but same area, and we sent them recent utility bill with the new address.

Thanks. Ielts was requested for secondary.

Hi, you don’t need to apply for Centrelink. When you apply for medicare after lodging 887, centrelink will contact us if we are eligible. (Note: until PR is granted we don’t have centrelink only medicare) so don’t expect to be contacted.

Thanks. CO Vely

Thanks mate! They asked for secondary.

Thanks. You’ll get your soon.

Thanks. Through the feedback on immi website.

Yes just generic one and said they will close the Feedback file.

Praise God!!!! lodge: 13/11/2018 Inquiry/feedback just a nudge for them to maybe look at our file: 28/01/2020 first contact: 11/02/2020 (Functional English) complained: 11/02/2020 Ielts submitted: 27/02/2020 complained: 1/04/2020 GRANT today 09/04/2020 CO Vely best Easter ever!!! Good luck to everyone and have blessed Easter, be safe!

Congratulations! 6 months from first contact I'll probably post our long awaited grant on August since they contacted us on Feb. I can't wait...

CO Regina contacted us back in Feb for spouse Functional English. Submitted IELTS after 2 weeks. still further assessment. you can check the spreadsheet, she's fine for some, gave direct grants even. It's just like she's got different mood swings.

They will delay our grant even more because of centrelink and covid-19 support to australians. temporary residents don't get any, so it just make sense that they keep us that way so they don't owe us anything. They don't care what happens to us because we are here because we wanted to. They have no obligation to us whatsover until we become PR. There's nothing we can do, just keep ourselves and our family safe and healthy, hopefully we're still alive when we get that grant. I was about to sign the petition @Moksha but I cancelled, no offense, but the construction of the letter is highlighting that we are a liability and that we will flee to the city once we get the grant. I know your intention is good and it is true that opportunity are less for temporary residents like us, let's just keep praying for everyone. There's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Congratulations! at least we know they are still working and giving grants amidst the global health crisis

Hope no one here get's the virus. It's already hard waiting for the grant.. being sick is just too much. Keep praying everyone! This too shall pass..

i should've stayed silent too... Congrats to the grant @11Dec2015

Check the conditions on your visa. Ours states that we MUST study in regional area. if you have that, you cant study out of regional area

@Dee I think some people are getting jealous for somebody elses blessings. We should be helping each other out, be happy for someone elses and not pulling others down cause we're not getting grants ourselves. We will all get there eventually.

1. Yes you need Form 80. we actually didn't do it for 489 before, it wasn't necessary then during our time, but it is when we did the 887 application. 2. Yes you need it again. Good luck!

this is so disappointing. is your child a newborn after lodgement of 887? coz i also have a newborn in 2017 but we applied subsequent 489 for her.

You will be in BVA automatically. We've been in BVA since 2/12/2018... I believe you can move anywhere you want as there is no condition on this visa. You still get full working rights. the only catch is you won't have access to any credit. so get a credit card, save a lot, get a phone plan etc. before it expires and you'll be 'right. I actually thought we won't be getting a rental but that didn't matter, we even started our business under BVA. You should be 'right mate.

COs are doing their best to delay the grant of our PR.... i have been reading the spreadsheet and made sure that our application is decision ready. for most applicants, CO asked for transcript for those who had submitted uni letter only. so i made sure we submitted both, who would've thought CO Regina,, f CO Regina still decided she wanted to see a f IELTS. it's BS

and being bridging after 489... it's like being worth nothing even more! we've been BVA for more than a year. can't even take a phone plan. no one recogizes a BVA, can't even travel outside oz without paying for another visa.

Good morning! Hoping for a good week for everyone. Question: For Childcare Subsidy, do we get it once 887 is granted? Or we need to wait a certain time before we can get it? With how slow our application is progressing, the kids will no longer be attending daycare when we finally meet the residency requirements. Seriously what's in it for us here?! And honestly speaking education doens't really come cheap. Kindy is $108 a week and when we get PR we still need to wait a certain time so kids dont need it as they will attend big schools.

Yeah you can do that. As long as its not older than 12 months before lodgement.
