Hey Guys,

Just have a question, I landed in Melbourne on 03/07/2018 and then moved to Cairns on 06/07/2018.

I applied for visa 887 on 04/07/2020.

That's 732 days since landing and 729 days since moving to Cairns will these 3 days considered as "Shorter periods where the applicant has traveled outside the specified area and won't be subtracted from 2 years of residence?"

Anyone has a similar situation and got his grant?

 

Thanks 

When was your residence docs / proofs start  date?

My lease in Cairns starts on 02/07/2018 1 day before my arrival in Australia, in the Tenant history it states the 1st payment from 02/07/2018 till 08/07/2018 as letting fees and the next payment from 09/07/2018 as Rent.

I actually moved to the apartment on 06/07/2018

Hey guys I have a quick question. I applied 489 as family-sponsored in 2018 and applied for 887 on 23rd 2020. 

489 was granted on 2nd May 2018. I have been working full time since 489 was granted, however, I went oversea for 5 days in a first-year 2018- 2019 and 32 days in the second year 2019-2020. My annual leave was paid while I was on holidays and we have paid the rent for the time we were away. 

Hopefully, there will be no issue in meeting number of days requirements as I read that we are allowed up to 4 weeks' travel a year. As for the second year, I went 3 days over a month so I applied for 887 after 20 days of completing 2 years. 

Just bit curious to check with you all after I have noticed that many people have struggled in meeting this requirement not sure it this is related to the regional area only. 

Please assist

 

To add on, I traveled to India on 17th Jan and arrived back in Melbourne on the 15th Fed. So, in total including both the days (17 Jan and 15 Feb), the total number of days is 30.

I have seen a case where an applicant was questioned for applying early. 4 weeks for a year are ok, just add extra week from second year. One week doesn’t make difference, but give u peace of mind and security. We are appying coming week too, taking one week extra, even our holdays were for 4 week only. One week was unpaid, for peace of mind, we are adding one week.

I applied 20 days after I completed my 2 years. I was on annual leave for my entire holidays. My rental logs are up to date. I have recalculated the time and it's 29 dats. Hopefully it should be fine.

Watch out, the moment you exceed 28 days, all the days will be deducted not only the days on top of 28

hi all!

I am currently in the process of gathering my docs for 887 application. If I am not taking the ielts, or any english test for the matter. What kind of letter do I have to ask from my Uni (overseas) to prove that our medium was english?

Can you send me an example of that letter?

Thanks!
