887 Visa - What's the update?

[Zack]

Hi guys ,is there anyone aware of the bridging visa that allow us to move or not ?

[Stellajane]

If you're on your bridging visa - meaning that you have applied for a new visa AND your 489 has expired - then there are no more conditions  and you are free to live, work and study within the whole of Australia.

Time to post some grants, we need some motivations

The BV has no condition please clarify

Hi Zack, the only way is to check your vevo, if it says “ no conditions”, then you can live anywhere in Australia. If it says “ xxx condition”, then follow it. Just disregard any other answers. @Raed moved to big city on his bva with “no conditions” and got his 887 last month. You can search his posts for double check. Good luck!

Congratulations Narayan

You are so lucky your application got assigned to Grant

 

[JSINGH]

My friend applied on 21/05/2018. 

CO contact- 13/06/2019- Asked for Police check as they travelled overseas.

MY ADVICE FOR DIRECT GRANT------ 

1. If you travel overseas or if police check is about to expire..(1 year), apply for your police checks and upload. otherwise your visa will be delayed by 2-3 months. 

2. if dependent member is 18+ then either submit their IELTS/PTE or proof that they studied in English medium.

3. FORM 80 and 1221.

4. Work related documents- All payslips ( At least 1 year), employment letter, Income tax returns, contract, experience letter, payG/group certificate, Superannuation, 

5. Proof of Residence (Utility bills- water, electricity, gas, phone, internet ), Rent agreement, Bank statement, any letters (like your TFN, income tax return assessment notice, insurance, police checks) etc. if you lived with your family or friends or sharing basis then you can give a statutory declaration from your friend or family member that you lived with them from dd.mm.yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy.

Need information: Do we need to provide all salary slips for 2 years of work or only 1 year should be sufficient? 

I have worked 4 months on contract and will have 1.5 years of permanent job at the time of applying 887. So 12 salary slips should be fine ??

Any specific reason to submit all Salary slips?

Won't it complicate things for them to verify all if they are from different employers. As there will be multiple salary slips and tax summary and other related documents etc ...

I submitted docs for both employers. Just to demonstrate that I am committed in regional area, and they can also be treated as additional residential proof.

Guys need some advice. I do have a plan of visiting my home country for 2 weeks after applying for the 887 visa in Sep  2019. My 489 visa expires next year Nov. Will I face a problem in getting back into the country since I will be getting a bridging visa once I apply for 887 Visa?

Ta

Hi Sjay, 

I went overseas with my family after applying for 887 and returned without any issues. When you apply for 887 you will be issued a bridging visa A but it is effect from the date your 489 visa. You need to return before your 489 visa expires or wait till 489 expires and then apply for bridging visa B. You cannot apply for bridging visa B when you out of Australia and you cannot come back into the country with bridging A. 

Hope I answered your question. 

Regards,

Inaz

Its better to provide as much proof as possible to back-up two year work condition and it doesnt matter how many employers you have had.

I really appreciate the update and encouragement received in this forum, thanks guys! For those who are still waiting, keep up the hope guys the golden date is going to come! Sending love and best wishes to you all!

Yeah it was direct grant. He first contacted me on 04/06 just checking if Hailey is my legal name (it isn't). And that's it i wasn't asked to provide any further documentation. Hopefully you hear back soon!

 

[Vayani]

Unfortunately he contacted me through call on 23rd May but due to security reason I didn’t provide him details because I was reluctant as its legitimate call or what and I thought visa officer never calls. He got offended when I said I don’t feel satisfy to share personal info and then he said ok and sent an email for further documents.  Since that time I am waiting for response but seems he had put me back in the queue now , I did big mistake !! 

[Vayani]

He also said to me if you can’t provide details for security reason that’s fine, I will sent you request form and your file will be back in the queue. Still on that time I didn’t realise but I thought visa officer can’t say that plus I was shocked that they call as well. I called back immigration right after and they were shocked but after taking my personal details they checked on the system it was legit call and same visa officer has sent an email already for further assessment such as more documents like afp
