887 Visa - What's the update?

[marlowe022]

 
To promote something will have Pros and cons but to be Neutral will have neither.
Rather play cautious and watching out for everyone around. The COs are watching too.
I did left it blank but its over written and I guess many others were over written as well.
I am happy for the creator, best to have the name on the header.
I don't think certain country are getting the benefits. There are several Indians where I work. Highly skilled and knowledgeable people.
 

when@Russki said to honour the creator for the spreadsheet she doesnt mean that we need to acknowledge his/her work and place his/her name on the sheet but rather leave the tracker as it is. I believe the creator of the spreadsheet is russian as well same as Russki and there been rumors that russian applicant get longer process times than the others. Its there for a purpose.
I have to admit I was the one who added the “Waiting time before last CO request date” but its quite beneficial for members to track how long does it take for “not-yet-contacted” applicants to get their application initially touched by COs
The tracker is pretty straightforward and is purely for waiting time reference. Nothing racist about it. Then again I suggest leave it as it is, it might not be beneficial to you but its beneficial for others for future reference.

Thanks @marlowe022, you nailed it. Yes, all correct, the creator of the spreadsheet is Russian and had to wait for a very long time for the grant, this is why the spreadsheet was created - to see what happens with other Russian applicants (like me).  I think, you improved it further @marlowe022 by adding columns and tidying it up, thank you so much! Thanks for looking after it, too, it's not nice when people mess with it...

As for the controversial "country" column, it is not worth the argument, we can leave or delete it, or just leave it blank, not a big deal.

no worries Russki I am still looking over it even though I’m not always active on this forum. I think its unfair for CO to leave behind all other Feb applicants. They should have at least finished feb before this year ends.

Thanks Marlowe for the wishes for Feb Applicants.

what was the time line before. Never thought about this.

• two years for Carer Payment
• two years for Parental Leave Pay and Dad and Partner Pay
• one year for Carer Allowance, and
• one year for Family Tax Benefit Part A, with no waiting period for Family Tax Benefit Part B.

You can go to GP and get letter from GP stating that he is healthy. @B3sT can you please help Sara in this regard 

Yes. Go to your GP ask them to provide a certificate stating that your baby is healthy and doing good with no disease.

Demand for payslips. It is a legal requirement.

Applies to everyone. It doesn't matter when you have applied. The only thing that matters is when you receive your PR.

 

"Only people granted a permanent visa, or temporary partner visa, on or after 1 January 2019 will be affected by these changes"

Was 2 years for all. They have announced the increase to 4 for all item. Now they came with this mix of 2 and 4....

If we don’t get the PR by jan then I think we will be affected by it..

I don't think it will impact the 887 process itself. Unless someone is willing to apply to some social benefits (like concession cards).

I think it's not likely to change anything for most of 887 applicants. We are skilled immigrants and able to earn enough money to do not need the government (theoretically). This change is targeting refugees, family visas etc.

Not a good news anyway...

I am wondering what they are doing. Feb applicants are affected badly. Those who have applied in JAN at least got contacted once (waiting period of 7 months) but for FEb it seems like 10 months. which makes no sense. I am worried. Has anyone tried calling Immi recently and check about the status?

There ia no point doing that. They would tell you that you are in timeframes

I'm worried too, but the website is saying process time 12-13 months. If you call them they will say they are in the timeframe.

It's unfair they keep changing the process time to match their delay. What is the point of having a process time if it is always changing? It was 8 months when I applied. They should try to keep the process time published when the application is lodged. Otherwise, it is like a dog chasing his tail. Every month I wait, one month is added to process time.

I agree .. Mid nov it felt like now they have speed up the process and now our files will be picked up. But now we are about to reach mid Dec. When I applied it was on average 4-5 months max. Now, as you said every month one more month added to the processing time.

When you work from ABN, you dont get payslips. You go as self employed or your own company. 

You must invoice your employer.
