887 Visa - What's the update?

[Patel1]

Give them a week or 2 to clear the backlog then they will start the 2019 applications, don’t panic guys, as long as the queue is moving ;)

That’s right Nudgee...

Asked my agent to compliant but no reply. I am going to ask her to makena complaint again because we provides documents in December 2019 and still waiting.

I just don't understand why these agents are not interested in complaining .

Because they think it is bad reputation for them. They only care about you only until you make the payments (personal experience).

When you applied?

[nudgee]

 

 I just found some facts from the FOI compare to our tracker:

 

FOI question: how many 887 applications have been lodged between July 2018 till December 2018?

 

FOI indicates 1068 applications.

 

But I had a look at our tracker, only 239 applications listed between July 2018 to December 2018.

 

So you can get a rough idea that the actual visa application numbers is 4.5 times the number listed on the tracker.

 

Most of the 887 visa applicants did not post in the forum after they applied or received grants.

 

If the visa grant numbers also multiply by 4.5 times. With an average about 5 - 6 grants per working day based on the recent trend, they are giving around 25 grants per day.

 

Total visa application on hand is around 4000. Therefore 4000/25 = 160 working days.

 

Average working day per month is 21.7 working days.

 

160/21.7 = around 7.5 months.

 

So if they continue in this speed, all applications can be finished in just 7.5 months. Keep in mind this is just based on the data from July 2018 to December 2018. But still a good indicator. We only hope the department will continue to work on 887 everyday then things will start to get better.

I would like to know what's are the things should be done after getting the grant?

Ofcourse, many will move interstate, apart from that?

 What about the Normal Medicare Card? Do we have to apply for it? 

Friends Your Comments Please....

Hope there is no public holiday today in any of the states and we can see lots of grants. Good luck to all

Yes, twice. But to be honest it made no difference. They explained to me that they have a specific number of places each year and grant according to that. They also explained that the Covid 19 situation had slowed things down because of staffing. They also said that this was made even more challenging because in the last 12 months they have received more 887applications than ever before and because of this there was a backlog.

What extra docs did they ask for?

Hello guys,

There are only 64 applications pending until 31st DEC18,majorly of them contacted at least once but not finalised.As per current granting trend it may take up to 2-3 weeks to finalise them if they are particularly working on backlog files.

Hope this make sense to everyone !!

Just wonderin how you got this number ?? Is this the exact number or u got this data from spread sheetl?

You don't have to wait for Medicate until the grant is issued. You can get it after lodging the 887.
