887 Visa - What's the update?

[Toni Huynh]

Hi everyone,

I came to Australia on 15-12-2015 and granted 487 on 18-12-2015. After 2 years living in Melbourne (as relative sponsored), i lodged my application 887 on 19-12-2017. I have just got contact from CO yesterday to request additional doucuments for residency.

 

Could I provide CO the utilities bills from Feb 2016 to current date (28-06-2018) as a proof of 2 years living in Victoria? Because i came here and live with relative in first 2 month without any bills. And CO ask me for futher documents which proves me HAVE LIVED in Vic for 2 years, she did not say any specific time or date so my taken is I could provide the bills which was after my 887 lodgment date as well? Or only documents which was before and toward to the lodgement date counted?

 

Thanks

Toni

Hi Everyone,

Then on 27 April 2018, CO ( NOT THE SAME CO) asked for additional documents again, Which provided instantly

Finally, on 27 June 2018 visa has been granted

submit utility bills to date as it only adds information to your file.... that is my take .... there are other experts who could shed more light on the same

Hi Toni and welcome!  Unfortunately, you cannot use the bills received after 887 application lodgement as a residency proof. It needs to be before that date (before 19 Dec 2017). Look for other proofs, like bank statements, local GP visits, dentist records, car rego, driving licence etc. Look for any proof, documents that place you in Victoria for certain calendar dates to prove 2 years residence collectively.

If you are short on documents, you can also supply statutory declarations from you and from your relative to say you lived at their address for first 2 months.

Hi Vikky, it is a shame you are made to wait again.  But hopefully, not for long now - just submit the scores asap!  I wasn't sure what PTE score means, researched it and... - It is academic score accepted by immigration as English language proof:

Nothing unusual, nothing to worry about!  You will probably be given 28 days to submit, but I would advise submitting as soon as possible.  Employer letter is easy to obtain in most cases, will take a couple of days!

I have attached the pte score card to attach documents in the imni account but case officer asked to login to vue/pte and click the send button and confirm it to DIBP.
