What is the reason behind 887 processing delays, we now know it’s not due to limited PR availability.
To help promote 887 delays and get the Australian Government and Immigration Department to grant all pending 887 visa, please sign the online petition (http://chng.it/mBnKf6h5) and send an email to 887@migrationsolutions.com.au for more information.

THE BELOW IS THE AUTOMATED EMAIL YOU RECEIVE WHEN YOU EMAIL MIGRATION SOLUTIONS. THE BELOW STATES WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO DO AND WRITE IN ORDER TO GET THIS ISSUE NOTICED. 

 

"Hello and thanks for getting in touch with Migration Solutions.

 

The purpose of this exercise is to raise awareness of the extremely unfair and unnecessary delays that 887 visa applicants currently face and the impact this has on their lives, including access to Federal Government support for those who desperately need it as a result of the Coronavirus.

 

Apart from the Federal Government wanting to limit or delay 887 applicants from getting access to Federal Government support (which I hope is not the case) I can see no other reason why 887 applications and other provisional to permanent applicants (such as second stage spouse visa applicants) are taking so long to be processed and approved by the Department of Home Affairs.

 

I believe that each and every person (past and present) affect by these delays deserves and explanation.  We know these delays are not due to applicants having to wait for a permanent residency visa to become available, therefore, what is genuinely the reason for these delays.  How can these significant delays be explained?

 

If you would like to support the call for all 887 visa applicants (and other eligible provisional and bridging visa holders) to be granted their Permanent Residency visa urgently and immediately, please send an email to each person, department and contact listed below.  You can send an email personally or you can use the template I have written below.

 

The more of us that stand together and send an email to each and every person listed below, the more our message will be heard.  If we don’t get a suitable response this week we can send another email next week and the week after and the week after that.

 

Please share my Facebook video with as many people as you can.  The more people that support this cause, the greater the chance that we can make a difference.

 

Thank you for your support.

 

Mark Glazbrook.

Start (cut and paste the following into a new email)

 

Subject: Australia is on the verge of a Humanitarian crisis and it is entirely avoidable.

 

I am writing to you today seeking your urgent assistance and to make a formal complaint regarding the current Departmental processing times for 887 visa applications.

 

The plight of tens of thousands of eligible provisional and bridging visa holders in Australia many of whom currently find themselves with limited or no access or support as a result of the coronavirus and Federal Government visa processing delays must be addressed urgently.

 

These are specifically those people who have legally met all of the relevant eligibility criteria for the grant of an Australian permanent visa and include families with young children.  Due to an unexplainable delay they have found themselves in a seemingly never ending and increasing queue.  In the case of an 887 visa applicant the queue has mysteriously increased from weeks to now 24-28 months and is growing longer.

 

The direct consequence of these delays in light of the Coronavirus and the related economic and jobs crisis is that many 887 applicants have found themselves without work and without access to the Federal Government safety net including the job keeper and job seeker payments. 

 

To this end I would like to bring to your attention the Change.org “Regional 489 Skilled Migrants Struggling for Survival” petition highlighting the predicament of many which could lead to a humanitarian crisis in Australia.

 

What is very odd about this situation is that for provisional 489 visa holders, which is a visa that has a permanent residence pathway, eg from a provisional or ‘first stage’ visa to a permanent or ‘second stage’ visa, the provisional 489 visa holder/887 visa applicant has already been counted towards the permanent Migration Program in the year when the provisional visa was granted.

 

Therefore, when a person has previously been granted a visa which counted toward the Migration Program and where that person will not be counted again, how or more importantly why is it taking 24-28 months for an 887 to be granted.

 

For these 887 visa applicants (and the same can be said for other people in Australia currently waiting for a permanent spouse/partner visa or general skilled points tested visa), they are in limbo, some have been living and working in Australia for more than 10 years.

 

Due to this I urgently call on the Federal Government to grant all eligible 887 applications immediately, keeping in mind that 887 applicants are not subject to any caps and the grant of their initial provisional visa has already been counted towards previous migration programs and permanent visa places.

 

Given the unprecedented times we are currently faced with I believe this is an entirely fair, warranted and urgent measure. 

 

It is important to note that due to a reduction in international visitors, including working holiday visa and other temporary visa holders, including 482 and international students traveling to and those who have departed or will soon depart Australia, net overseas migration (NOM) figures will decline rapidly.  This will therefor allow the Federal Government and the Department of Home Affairs to grant more permanent residency visas without seeing any upward pressure on population growth or increase in net overseas migration figures. 

 

The grant of a permanent residency visa for eligible applicants currently onshore in Australia will help to avoid a potential humanitarian crisis by providing these extremely vulnerable people with the ability to access support for themselves and their families in the challenging times ahead.

 

Kind regards,

 

Insert your name and Department reference number plus the date of your application (if applicable)

 

End

 

 

 

For your information, I sent emails to everyone listed and it only took about 30 minutes.

 

All the best,

 

Mark

Go go go guys send the emails. Imagine if each minister receive at least 100 emails about 887 tomorrow they will know how wide spread it is and they cannot ignore it.

lets make it happen. Try to include your personal inputs as well rather than coping and paste. And shall we all make a comment on this chat once e-mails sent. It will motivate each other. We should't keep this problem to our selves.

also shall we all call media channels and news papers to publish this story. once we find particulate contacts we can  share them for everybody.

Everybody, media pls send to <ABC Insiders>,  David Spears is most influential in recent days,  we have seen him successfully and very sharply  pushing Scott Morisson,  Health Minister, Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy, and Treasure Minister to do something on the virus.  And He's already touched topics about migrant difficulties last weekend, but the politicians were very slippery and skipped it with the excuse of caring more Australian citizen. But 887 visa being hold off really is misconduct of DHA and government,  no reason for waiting 24 28 months as Mark said! So it's getting involved illegal issue if DHA keeps delaying, let us push the topic to David Spears and get ball rolling ASAP.

Everybody, please action as we have been spending so much time here discussion, complaining, even fighting with each other... now it's another chance for us to speak out no matter if it just looks like a light of hope or not, if we don't do something for ourselves, who is gonna do for us? No one!  And please be aware that, everything we do, not for someone else, just for ourselves. Don't hesitate or step back thinking that let someone spread the voice for you.  Things will go through only with our full efforts.

Definitely misconduct of DHA!

 

What is very odd about this situation is that for provisional 489 visa holders, which is a visa that has a permanent residence pathway, eg from a provisional or ‘first stage’ visa to a permanent or ‘second stage’ visa, the provisional 489 visa holder/887 visa applicant has already been counted towards the permanent Migration Program in the year when the provisional visa was granted.

 

Therefore, when a person has previously been granted a visa which counted toward the Migration Program and where that person will not be counted again, how or more importantly why is it taking 24-28 months for an 887 to be granted.

Just my personal opinion,sending emails separately maybe better because it put more pressure on each minister to respond individually.
