SCOTT Morrison says he is determined to ensure Australia remains the world’s “best immigration nation”, by promoting understanding and calling out people who go against that spirit.

 

But the prime minister has stressed he won’t be drawn into a “slanging match” between personalities, after being asked whether Pauline Hanson and her One Nation Party are racist.

Benefits? Hope all the best!

What the prodicament is currently for 489 holders' transmission to 887, will happen.again 3-5years later fOr 189s, and other regional visa holders.

No grants for last two days, just wondering what is going on. In the meanwhile I found it on Facebook thought it will be interesting for future applicant. I haven't found any reliable source yet but never mind, after November 2019 all the 489/887 visa holder can live in ACT legally.

Hi all, I have one more question regarding the Police Check.

The one I submitted was done in April last year and I assume it is only valid for 12 month?

Just thinking if I should apply for a new,updated one recently and upload to the application? Hopefully this will help to speed up the process? Rather than waiting for the CO to respond and ask for another AFP?

Yes, get a new one as we had to provide a new AFP

They are enough.. But you may need a reference letter from cleaning company.

I did temporary cleaning works. They are four or five companies. Sometime, oneday, three days and two weeks cleanings. Therefore, can't ask reference letters. What do I do? But, I clearly showed h hours on invoices, bank deposited details and tax return docs. Are they enough ?

• Business licence, if applicable

• Public liability insurance for cleaners

This seems like the new 489s who apply after November are affected. so all the people who are already on 489 won't be affected.

I have an update for you all. I went to centerlink and have been advised that I am eligible for FAMILY TAX BENEIFIT. (FTB).

Lady even helped me setting up account and guided how to claim. She did the paperwork and gave me linking code etc.

I even told her that I got PR recently few days back and asked her like 15 times if I am eligible. She said as you have been here before 1 Jan 2019 and have been here for almosyt four years you can claim. 

But she also told me that I can only claim for this year and last financial year 

Thanks for sharing the information. I have a question if we are eligible for FTB part B does it include the childcare benefit ( where you have to pay half and half will be paid my govt) ??

Hello everyone,  I was thinking of twitting about reducing 887visa processing time by hoping that somebody will listen to our pain. 15  to 16 months processing is completely unfair, unrealistic and a joke. This is sad that after fulfilling their all unrealistic criteria we have to wait for 15 16 months to get a grant. So, I really appreciate if you could all express your thoughts on Twitter about "887 delaying processing time"  by using few hashtags such as  #887visa @sbsnews @smh @abcnews etc. if you don't have a twitter account then please open a new account and tags those news channels so they get serious about this issue. I have also attached the screenshots of the petition so news channel can read in detail. You can attach the screenshot too and suggest some more Hashtags if you have in your mind. Thanks,
