According to the tracker, they processed applications till 01/01/19 in 1st May 2020, now it’s end of May and they have already processed till 16/05/19. That’s 5 months of grants!

 

So next month, if they continue this speed, they will process till October?

 

Everyone from May to Oct make sure you update your documents.

Noted Nudgee. Thanks for your support and guideline. I am September 2019 applicant's and working  to update all the documents again

Anyone help me to create hap id???My health declaration is currently suspended, is there any other way u can create hap id??

[nudgee]

Do you think they will clear the backlog of 2018 and early 2019?

From what I can see, they tend to open new files during the month and then work on older files toward the end of the month so the next processing time will reduce .

Guys could you please explain what the meaning of this: 

not saying each band just overall??
this means we can give for example 3 in speaking and 5 in writing ????

Yes it's average 4.5. if you can see other English level pages, they specifically mentioned each word and not used average word

Hi Harooni, thanks mate and sorry for the late response.

So you can do it via IMMI account, you need to create a new application and a list of different types of applications will appear to chose from, one of those type will be medical only.

However, I'm afraid this feature was made unavailable a couple of months ago as far as I remember, but it won't hurt to try it..

Good luck mate

Due to COVID, I didn't receive offshore Police Clearance yet. You guys think that I have anything to do about it ? Because I had visited home country last 2 years and the one I got for 489 was expired a long time ago ..   

[jaknap3]

Do we need to apply AFP for kids as well age around 5 years ??

[DVR]

You think a kid around 5 years old would have criminal offenses ?

They stole a lollipop from a granny. That’s why.

Hi All, 

Quick question ? does 2 years living requirement count the number of 4 weeks of annual leave each year spending in overseas ?

1) You must have documents stating your Hours, which is equivalent to Full time working hours. Your Payslip is the best supporting document

2) Every year you have 4 weeks of Annual leave so 8 weeks are good, But if you were out of Country for Work related the you can claoim more than that as well. In my case i was 8 weeks on my annual leave and 4 weeks for work related. IMMI considered all and granted 887.

3) Even after completing your 2 yrs, you must be in designated area only as per your 489 visa. Infact, untill your 489 is valid. You will get bridging visa immediately but it will come in effect once 489 expire.

 

Thanks

This is the most clear answer I saw on this thread about Annual leave, Thanks buddy. 

Quick question, I spent 20 days on annual leave abroad for the last 2 years, out of which are there 15 working days. Only 8.4 days covered with annual leave and the remaining 6.6 were unpaid leave. They are holiday (not-work related). 

Should I be worried about covering those days before lodging 887 to cover 2 years residence ? 

/Thanks,

It is a common sense not to ask for Police clearance from kids but our COs have super powers to ask for such things 

I asked because few days back someone got request of signed consent from 2 months old baby...,

Consent form should be signed by any parent who has a kid. Doesn't matter what age the cub is.

Hello everyone,

->should i upload newborn form1229 consent to grant 887 visa without having passport received?

->passport applied for 2 months old baby last week only...

I think form 1229 Consent Form is required in case of adoption or other scenarios and it is not mandatory for all.

Guys please confirm if my understanding is correct.
