You never mentioned local experience in your original post, you only mentioned 'experience in his field', therefore the misunderstanding.

Not in my time. I came to Adelaide in 2016. It was not required to have local experience. I had enough points to get 489. Only For offshore applicants had this requirement. 

I am sorry not local experience but experience in relevant to skill occupation list. It was not require in my time. But now it is.

Yea pls sign and share it,  this is the only thing we can do to notify the Home Affairs Minister. The petition does put pressure on the government, 2 months ago Home Affairs granted the PR for a family because of the petition (With over 50000 signatures). https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/may/05/family-who-faced-deportation-from-australia-because-of-deaf-son-granted-permanent-residency

Sadly we only have 2500 signatures but still...Please share it, once it hit 2500 it will send to Mr Dutton and Mr Coleman!

Hi  KC01, 

 

Thanks for the valuable advices, i will keep that in mind. My home country police clearances do take a lot of time. so that makes sense. 

it might be already here in this forum, but if anyone got time please advise. i have payslips for all of my stay and rental agreements, bills for 19 months. i stayed in a friend's house for 6 months and i have bank account letters indicating my address and my 6 month pay slip also got this address. even my old NSW license got this address. Are those evidences enough to prove i lived in Regional NSW ?  i have enough evidences for my Melbourne residences.

this is nothing to do with my application but a general question, i am planning send my baby to a day care centre as my wife's firm ask her restart her job since her maternity leave is over. but after knowing the fees i am bit confused. Is there any government benefits for ppl on 489 visa ?  just curious .  i know there is a medicare benefit once we applied for 887 but no centerlink ?. 

Thanks in advance.

Deep

 

 

Hi Deep, I am not aware of any other details. You can apply for Medicare but not for the Centrelink. 

I guess your address proof is enough. 

Thanks

I have been a silent follower of this group and have finally signed up. I bumped onto this forum while seeking information whether the 489 bridging Visa period qualifies for 2yr requirement. Now, the home affairs website has updated this part and it is now clear that period does not qualify. The following is an excerpt from the website:

Have an eligible visa and be in Australia

Hide 

All applicants must be in Australia and hold an eligible visa at the time a subclass 887 visa application is made.

An eligible visa is a:

• subclass 489, 495, 496, 475 or 487 visa, or
• Bridging visa A or Bridging visa B, after having made a valid application for a subclass 489, 495 or 487 visa

The person seeking to satisfy the primary criteria must also have held one or more of the following eligible visas for a total of 2 years before a subclass 887 visa application is made:

• 489, 495, 496, 475 or 487

Note: The person seeking to satisfy the primary criteria will be the person who seeks to meet the 887 work and residence requirements

Guys they updated the website today, removed the skill migration visa processing priorities, and changed to “Family visa processing priorities”.

 

I think it’s a good news, maybe it means 189 and 190 can no longer jump the queue of 887.

 

Hope moving forward all the skill migration visas are on the same page and fair

Hey @Harsh_, is it true though that your payslips are not consistent with the salary transfer amounts shown in your bank statements? Your pay summary has nothing to do with their query actually.

What they meant was lets say for example ur payslip for the period 1/1/19-7/1/19 shows you earned $900 AFTER PAYG deduction (meaning your net income for the week), but your bank statement only shows $760 being transferred to your bank account. It is this inconsistency that is worrying them I think. And if you have multiple of these inconsistencies between your payslips and your payslips, that maybe has raised a red flag.

Btw, when did you lodge you application and who was the CO that contacted you?

[887 2019]

The Department is currently allocating subclass 887 visa applications that were lodged up to June 2018 for assessment.

Is this an assumption or a fact? I have seen a few July 2018 applicants receive their grants on this forum?
