Hi Vijay 

I heard from one of the migration agents that we can get an extension of 489 up to one year.

 Thank you 

YOUR NAME SOUNDS TO BE MORE HOPE FOR ME.

Can you please share your migration agent details please. I am in the urgent of 489 visa extension. I really appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Vijay.

Sorry to be downer; I dont think you can extend 489 visa; please check this link https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/skilled-regional-provisional-489/extended-stay-pathway#About; Also i would highly recommend checking this either directly with DIBP or migration agent probably you might find something positive.

Grant letter would mention last date of entry in Australia; as long as he/she has adhered to timeline its fine.

Hi emadh,

The residency period would start from November date (given that your friend can prove it with home lease etc).

 

Otherwise its not problem.

JUST a thought guys. Do you think they might have withdrawn the majority of officers to work on off-shore applications which re-opened from 1/7 (i.e 190)? Someone say No, please

Bloody liberals

[nudgee]

they want us the stay in reginal as long as possible 

[Vinh]

SICK AND TIRED...

[Maxzone]

It's terrible, no word to describe our situation. When we had more applicant, processing time was extended. Now we don't have much applicant they stop processing our file. They don't care about us. 887 is not on the priority list either. Seams like we are in a trap, don't know how to get over it. 

[Megrand1]

What do you think what if I go home till my visa is granted?

When it's granted I can come to activate it

Its not just about staying in regional area; my daughter has to go to Uni next year and she will be treated International student till we don't get PR. There is huge difference in fee domestic vis-à-vis International student.

I  feel so sorry to everyone, we used to able to walk in to the immigration office, and even request to talk to the CO directly over the phone. I remember once I called the CO in Sydney Office to notify her that I have purchased my OSHC and I got grant 10 mins after... 

Now nothing we can do

I remember there was a period of time where a number of people in this forum routinely submitted complaints to immi. Maybe we should start doing it again? Can someone share the deprtment’s email address? I will submit one tmr.

You need it brother...If you search the forum, you can find that one  guy has been asked for FBI clearance for four weeks of stay in US..It costs you less than USD 20...So no need to think twice..Apply online once you are back...Happy journey

Thanks @Jose

Time to prioritize 887, we only wanna be treated fairly. Same as the 189 applicants. Yes we might have less points when we apply for visa, but we have more work experiences and we fit in well in the OZ society, we all come a long way

@nudgee If only immigration/DIBP hear us...which is like a far away dream for most of us here...

Lease agreement, rental ledger, rental receipts, bank statements, utility bills like gas, electricity and internet.

They know exactly which state sponsored you, remember that they granted your 489 visa with a sponsorship, all of that is connected to your passport and/or visa number.
