Journey

Just got the grant email after 9 month waiting-

Applied on 15.12.19

First contact 30.06.20 by Lisa 

Granted today 14.09.20 by Monica

Many thanks to all, it has helped a lot with easing the anxiety when knowing we are all together awaiting and sharing info. Good luck to all who are waiting. Looks they do have a timeframe they are working on. Followed up once last month but didn't think it was any helpful.

Yes count me in, have been following up since the request on the 2nd of July . Would also like to check is the Form 956 required if I did the application myself ? Does everyone have it on their account even though it’s not required ? 

No i didn't attach that, don't think it's required. Who's your CO btw?

Let's create a separate group for backlog applicant and start sending emails to local MPs and Immigration Minister to get heard our voice. That is what our seniors done in the past and which contributes to fasten thee 887 visa application process. 

Please say "Yes" if you agree. 

Yes count me in also please, heard nothing since 2/7, a follow up didn't work either.

you made me a good laugh,. exactly! No idea how they work on the files, maybe they have kpi to reach as long as a file has been touched and can then count in and then take forever to open again. Frustrating ideed!

Donn't worry mate, May 2019 applicant is here

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

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.

I'm having the same frustration, got contacted on 30.6 and replied on 2.7. Wonder if worth to send a follow up, 28 Days have passed..
