Asad

Hi All, We are permanent resident and permanently living in Australia. Recently me and my family have received new passports (not Australian passport) and I have contacted to local immigration office in Adelaide to inform and update our new passport. They gave me some Form to fill-up and return. I have completed that form with new passport detail and new address (as we have moved to a new address after the PR was granted) and return it to Adelaide office. Its been a long time, but there is no update in VEVO. Still it is showing the old passport against our visa grant number. Anyone have any idea how long it will take for them to update the new passport info against our visa grant number. One more info I would like to add here, as there was no check list or instruction to add any further documents like photocopy of new passport and proof of address - I did not submit them. I just have submitted those change of address and passport form. If anyone have any idea what can I do please suggest.

Thanks a lot snifter for sharing your experience and valuable suggestions.

Great suggestion. ha ha ha

I have a silly question. Can you please help me? We are looking for a property. If we found a suitable property and put an offer for that – Does not mean that vendor will except our offer and we will get that property – is n’t it? Is it ok --- to put offer on multiple properties at the same time? What will happen if more than one offer accepted at the same time whereas we are ready to buy just one? Can we then keep the best deal and say other offers ‘NO’? Another question, if we make an offer – ideally how many days we need to wait to get a feedback? After how many days we can think that it is over and void? Hope you will share your experience and help us.

Hi All, I would like to share one good news with all. Now it is my time. We got our golden email on 24-Dec-2014. I was in Christmas holiday with family and had limited access to internet that's why I am sharing my happy moment with you all now. I am from Bangladesh and in my application my wife and two kids were also included. my timeline is as following: applied from 475 to 887on 17-Jun-2014 co assigned on 13-Oct-2014 visa grant on 24-Dec-2014 No contact by co or team 13. Provide all possible supporting document even foreign PC and form 80 & form 1221 at the time of application.

Congratulation on your PR. If you don't mind please share your nationality. Currently people are getting 475 to 887 in 3-4 months except few nationality.

He got his 887 from 475 it is confirm. Not only you even he also surprised to get the grant letter yesterday. Only took 4.5 months and no Bangladeshi people got PR that fast in last 2 years. Not sure what happen and how but that really happened.

Hi All, I would like to share a good news of my friend. My friend applied in August and got his PR Yesterday. He got his CO in October. In his application, his wife & three children were included. Two weeks ago he was contacted by team 13 and asked for Form 80 & Form 1221. He is from Bangladesh. He got his PR in 4.5 months.

Hi July_887, It is a great news. Congratulation.. Its seems processing time for Bangladeshi applicant through 887 come down to 14-15 months now. In last two months we saw at least 5-6 grant for Bangladeshi applicant in 14-17 months. Whereas the whole process now become faster other nationality are getting grant letter in 2-3 months. Hope the processing time for Bangladeshi people will reduce to a reasonable level. All the very best for your future. It will be a great help for other waiting Gang if you please share little bit more about your 14 month time line i.e when did you get CO? When did you get team 10? How many times you were contacted by immi for any docs or info? What extra docs they asked? How fast you response?

No Worry Mate!!! You are nearly there. May be next couple of week you will get your golden email.

Hi shahedce, Do you get your new MRP passport and if yes then when did you get that and when did you informed immi about that new passport? That delay you will not count as processing delay is not it?

Hi Wahab, Have patient. Though it is a long waiting so far but current trend showing some good sign for Bangladeshi Applicant. Bangladeshi applicants were suffering since Dec 2012 with some exception. But things are changing. I know 02 people got PR last week. One of them got after 14 months and another one got after 17 months. So hope for the best.

Congratulation to all who are getting PR. Don't know when I will get my PR? Waiting .............................
