Can you check your health assessment part and tell us what is written regarding your baby's medical

Actually after submitting 'Paper Based Medical" they asked for "Immigration Health examination" by the approved immigration medical health services provider. I already submitted the latter one too. But now I think I should submit the Statutory Declaration as well. 

I am confused about the photo. SHOULD I ATTACH A RECENT PHOTO OF THE BABY WITH THE DECLARATION? OR THE OLD PHOTO USED IN THE PASSPORT OF THE BABY? If anyone let me know that will be a great help.

Especially looking suggestion from @Tpsk @Anonymous2017 @Russki

Thanks.

This declaration was in the email I received and that is what I have understood from it. If I am misinterpreted it then someone can please advise me.

Health Integrity concern for Child Passports for children are generally valid for five years. If the passport was obtained when the child was an infant, considerable physical changes to facial features are likely to have occurred. The MMSP or panel physician may not be able to verify the identity of the child and, if so, an identity concern was raised. We ask the primary visa applicant to provide a statutory declaration(s) signed by an Australian citizen or permanent resident who is not the child’s relative: •the declaration should have appropriate photographic evidence that the child presented for their 501 medical examination is the same as the child photographed in the passport and •the declarant should confirm that all the photos in the declaration are of the same child. If: •a statutory declaration(s) cannot be provided by an Australian citizen or permanent resident who is not the child’s relative or •officers are still not satisfied (after receiving the appropriate statutory declaration) that the child who attended the 501 medical examination is the same child applying for the visa The child must be requested to undertake a new health examination performed with a new passport that accurately portrays the child’s current appearance. Please have the applicant provide a statutory declaration as per the above requirements

Thanks @Anonymous2017.  Can you please tell me if it is the old photo used for the passport purpose or a new one should be attached with the declaration?

I understand that mate. I want to submit the document just to give hundred percent from my side so that I may not have to submit it later on and keep waiting for another 2.5 months.

Hi friends, In the above link I found the following words...Can somebody explain what does it mean?!

 

Living requirement

Provide proof that your dependent has lived for at least two years on an eligible visa in:

• regional Australia or a low population growth metropolitan area
• a designated area of Australia.

 

Does it mean the secondary applicant in an 887  also required to show 2 year regional stay?!!!... Please share your valuable opinion...

No need for secondary applicant to satisfy 2 years in regional area

But if your including them in application for 887 they must be inside Australia until the application is decided 

But you can travel outside and come back but need to inform immigration about your travel details

They will only grant your visa when you and your family is in Australia

I also  believe  that secondary applicants has no need to satisfy two year condition...That's why I added my wife and kid, they just reached and had only 2 days of stay in 489 when I applied for 887...but some information in the link below confusing me...what is your opinion on that?...have you gone through that too?

Hi Zubayer,

I am not the best person to advise, unfortunately, I am sorry. In my opinion, if you attach to declaration the passport photo and the recent photo it should cover it?  

Because "the declaration should have appropriate photographic evidence that the child presented for their 501 medical examination is the same as the child photographed in the passport and •the declarant should confirm that all the photos in the declaration are of the same child."

Does the medical document have a photo of the child?

Hi guys, hope everyone is well and hopeful this morning!   Sun is shining in Adelaide and COs are working away on our cases!  

Just if anyone is interested, this is another tracker - serious site: 

https://myimmitracker.com/en/au/trackers/visa-tracker-skilled-regional-887

Our visa subclass (SC887) is not well represented, but there are a couple of guys from our forum on this tracker. This site requires you to register and log on. You can only change your records, not anyone else's...   

If we have more people on 887 category registered, admin of this site offers statistical analyses, basically, they will tell us the general trends for our visa processing, based on our cases (as if we don't know already   )

Hi Experts. I heard that these days home affairs is asking for IELTS. I'll be the primary applicant in my case and my wife will be the second. When I applied for 489, I provided IELTS for myself and my wife along with all the academic docs copy degree, mark sheets etc. but not a separate academic transcript and I got 489. If any one can please advise, Is IELTS of both the applicant is the one of the required document for 887 application ? TIA

Hi Rocky and welcome!

Primary applicant do not need to prove English ability for 887 visa, so you are in the clear. Your wife will have to though. She can either use the academic record to do it or sit a fresh IELTS (because IELTS needs to be no older than 12 months at the time of application).

• An International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test result of an average band score of at least 4.5 based on the four test components of speaking, reading, listening and writing. Your test must have been completed within 12 months of visa application lodgement or can be completed during visa application processing.

• A Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic test result of an overall band score of at least 30 based on the four test components of speaking, reading, writing and listening. Your test must have been completed within 12 months of visa application lodgement or can be completed during visa application processing.
• A Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) test result of an overall band score of at least 147 based on the four test components of speaking, reading, writing and listening. Your test must have been completed within 12 months of visa application lodgement or can be completed during visa application processing.
• An assessment of functional English from a service provider of the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) for eligible visa holders in Australia. (Note: AMEP providers do not undertake assessments of English language proficiency for purposes that are not related to participation in the AMEP).
• Completed all years of primary education and at least three years of secondary education in an educational institution in or outside Australia and all instructions were in English.
