887 Visa - What's the update?

[Guest hara]

Hi Guys, while wishing everybody good luck and getting their visa granted soon, I would like to say that we are not the only people who applied for this visa, there must be thousands of other applicants who don't know this forum and we have got not no idea about them. Also there might be hundreds of March applicants who have received their visas already but we don't know.

 

Apart from this, I heard that the gov has given other roles to employees and moved them to different departments, other say the have been saked. That might be the reason it is 8 months backlog.

 

Another main reason is the cancellation of the paper application and swithching all the applications to Brisbane office. Who knows, the same number of officers in Brisbane who used to work only on online application are now doing receiving all the load. Before it used to be between 2 weeks to 2 months to get the bloody visa.

 

I applied in September, I hope by the end of the year they will have finished all that backlog and everybody will get his visa by the end of the year.

 

We need just to forget it and think about something else until we get the golden e-mail as a surprise

 

good luck for everybody

Thank you very much for these informations...good luck to you too.

HI friend,

Do you that 887 is processing @ Adelaide or Brisbane?

[Guest Vince887]

in the immi website says brisbane for online application, but so far it seem like most of us being processed by adelaide centre, i guess adelaide processing centre now helping out with 887 visas.
