Grant

applied on 2-2-2019

first contact 23-4-2020  requesting police check 

Grant @5pm 11/5/2020

 

Good luck, everyone 

 

 

Congrats, thats great news. This is almost exactly like me. Also applied 2/2/2019 - and got contacted on the 23/4/2020 for detail around travel. My CO was Lisa. Who is your CO?

They would have cleared all the February applications by now if COs can do their work properly and not asking for primary English evidences.

 

Its just common sense that primary applicants’ English ability have already been assessed when they applied for 489, they should have competent English but CO think people will downgrade to functional English after 2 years of staying in the bush? So disappointing.

Yes. Even though I had given all of that detail in the Form 80! She also specifically asked if I have since went home (south African). Which is BS, because I haven't, but also because just because its taking forever for them to process applications, doesn't mean we should have to answer for the time that they weren't able to process the visa. 

What did she ask from you?

If the request is for functional English, then it is essential for us all to upload our degree certificate as evidence. Just don’t give them any reason to further delay our applications

Further Rental proof, experience letter from employer, as I haven’t included stat dec before and I was living in the accommodation provided by my employer while I was working.

Hello members,

To prove functional English for primary applicant,can we provide an evidence of English medium study?
I mean transcripts of bachelor and masters.

Thank you

[nudgee]

I am just wondering, for those primary applicants who were asked to provide English, have you studied in Australia before? Maybe CO only ask those coming from oversea on a 489. Dunno what’s the logic behind. I completed uni here and I was not asked to provide any English.

I reckoned that’s right,people who got their 489 based on family sponsored or direct from overseas

Hi guys,

I am new to this forum and just completing my 2 years this June.

I have a few questions regarding my eligibility to apply to 887 visa:

1. I went out of the country for exactly 4 weeks and I understand that it is not an issue for the 2-year completion (by referring to various non- government websites). Is this correct and if so could you kindly share the relevant location (URL) for this in government website?  
2. My family is not completing 2 years together with me, but again as I understand this is not an issue. Could you kindly share the relevant location (URL) for this in government website for this as well?

Thanks a lot!

D

Boys, and Girls, 

Can we re-complain against a CO who is asking English Language requirement from a primary applicant? Will it have a negative impact on our grant pending ? I saw couple of similar posts that people have done the same, replying that there is no such thing for primary applicants ? I am getting my ducks in a raw .. 

Thanks, 
D

Hi Teena, I had complained through my immi account. 

 

But you can’t do it by yourself, if you didn’t apply by yourself, can you?

it has been asked from few people not every one and i believe its a mistake ,,,its nowhere mention that whoever study in australia so they don't need to provide and those coming from overseas they have to provide functional for 887 as they already satisfied by getting competant english ielts band for provisional and for 887 permanent they required functional quite funny i believe 100% its a mistake otherwise they should asked competant english not a functional english requirement which is logically cannot be possible

Unfortunately not! Really hoping it comes this week!! It seems Lisa loves asking for more docs!

[BoddyFam]

Sending good vibes into the universe today, and specifically to the CO's hoping they grant many of our grants today!

Not sure if good vibes will work but worth a try
