887 Visa - What's the update?

[aug17]

Hi guys,

I have just submitted my application for the 887 just now. In 2 years of stay, I have taken 57 days of paid annual vacation. In that I have compensated 56 days. Is that OK?

Thanks

Paid or unpaid leaves doesn't matter in 887 as long as unpaid is not more than 3 months
I did chek with immigration too, in my case as well i had about 6 weeks unpaid and 10 weeks paid all in 2 years stay.
It all went through and i applied exactly on 2 years the day i moved. As long as you meet rrquirement for work and lodge on time, not a day before two years its all good
Don't follow google posts for extending your application and serve that time for holidays, you are basically delaying application, while department drag 887 more than you.
Hope it helps

Hi Mate

I am so relieved with the tone of assertion you used in your reply. 

My query is that: dose the above also apply when these paid/unpaid leaves were spent overseas?

What was the timeline of your visa processing?

Thank you again.

Hi why last day? Is that immigration office closed from today?  When they open again?

Hi Mates,

How long does AFP usually take to be delivered in NSW?
they send it online or by post?

Thank you.

Hi Rita44,

Maybe try to add more "weight" to your proof of residence for the first year by adding whatever papers you have to show you lived there.  I had same situation and I added to my proof dicuments:

Metrocard statement - to show I used transport in the city every day 

Library emails showing I regularly borrowed books from local library 

School reports of my son

Doctors and dentists visits showing addresses of clinics 

Bank statements showing everyday shopping in local supermarkets

Even flybuys card statements if it shows which Coles you shop at

My statutory declaration signed by JP to state I lived at the address 

And some other bits and peices which were genuine proof of us residing in the area.  That's what really they are interested in - you living in the prescribed area. Address is of secondary importance.

Hi guys,

I see the an attachment link for " child custody evidence" In my application. Do I need to submit any proof? My child belongs to me and my wife and my whole family is included in the 887 application. Still do I need to show any evidence?

Thanks

Thank you for your reply mate, That is the problem I have been trying to get release letter unfortunately they are not releasing. It’s been almost a year here in Tasmania struggling for job with family n kids. What if move to Other regional areas like Adelaide without release letter, does it have any effect on 887. 

Thanks in Advance.

Well I am not sure if it'll be effecting your 887, but if they'll not releasing you I don't think you can live in any other regional area, becaus before getting release letter condition on ur visa is to live in a "specified" regional area.

Thanks

When applying for 887, you only have to provide proof that you have lived and worked in a regional area. It doesn't have to be in your sponsored state and you wouldn't be asked to prove this. It's NOT MANDATORY that you stay in your sponsored state for those two years, it's just out of COURTESY. I know at least two families on 489 who moved from WA to QLD without being released by WA. They did their two years in Townsville, applied for 887 and were granted without hustle. If you are having problems with your release from TAS, I say pack your bag and leave.

Note however that ADELAIDE IS NOT A REGIONAL AREA. It is only a designated area so living and working there will not be counted towards 887.

Hey mate, 

Just to correct you Adelaide is a regional area, whole state os SA, NT and TAS are regional.

I am living in Adelaide on my 489, already applied for 887 and CO is satisfied with the residency requirement too. 

Thanks

Hi All,

Just to share with you guys,

I also applied on 11th sep and got email from CO on 20th Dec. asking another AFP with my given name only ( Not with last name ) and they asked for all employment and residency proofs attested by JP.

 Again starting from scratch.

Hi Aug17,
