887 Visa - What's the update?

[AUG887]

Hi Guys,

 

I lodged my 887 application on 22 Aug 2015.

 

It shocked me when I saw health check required for my father, who is not migrating with us.

 

I presume this happened because I was kind of misled and put my widowed father's information in the field of "non accompanying dependent", whereas as a matter of fact he's not dependent on me and should have been categorized as "other family member". Actually there are three categories for family members, and the third one on top of the above mentioned two is "accompanying dependent". I have to say it was a bit misleading and I put my father's info in the the wrong place.

 

As he's neither dependent on me nor migrating with us, I would not get him to go through the medical examination, which is meaningless and time consuming. And most importantly, Aussie immigration policy is one rejected all rejected. I don't want to risk our PR application since my father's not in the best health condition.

 

I've uploaded a Form 1023, trying to get this corrected.

 

Does anyone know what I should do in such a situation? I hope the CO won't insist on that health check and rejects our visa application if the outcome of the check is unsatisfactory.

 

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

 

Finger crossed.

I think if they are on the non-migrating list, then their health check is not necessary. I have put my parents and sister on the list as non-migrating & non-accompanying dependent (since the application had asked to mention all their details) and now looking at your query I am also beginning to think, if they need health check or no? Can someone please answer this query ? Thanks!

Hi

you have to remove them from non-accompanying dependents and add them to other dependents..but bcz u have already added them in Non-accompanying so just fill a form i am not sure which but after that u can find that automatically CO remove them from your file in non-accompanying.

Hi AUG887

 

I did same mistake. My case was my father decease 10 years age. So first I was confused too. Then then I upload form 1023. No problem they accept my answer. I got direct grant PR last month.

[AUG887]

Thanks for your reply mate.

 

I've uploaded a form 1023 to correct this. Hope the CO won't have any issue with it.

[AUG887]

I'm happy you got your PR!

 

Would you mind sharing with us when you lodged the application and got granted?

 

Thank you UNIQLO!

[AUG887]

I would suggest you not make the same mistake mate.

 

I just talked to immigration on 131881, and the officer advised me to submit form 1023 to correct the information.

 

It's like the dependants on the visa applicants are also required of health check even though they are not included in the migrating application. I'd strongly advise you to get this confirmed by immigration before you include them in your application under "non-migrating dependants" to avoid the problem I'm having.

 

It's weird though why should they be asked for health check when they are not migrating.

[UNIQLO]

Hi Aug887

 

I add my father mother and sister as (non accompanying dependent). then immigration ask three of them medical. then submit 1023. move all "non accompanying dependent" to "other family member"

[AUG887]

Thanks Uniqlo,

 

That makes me relaxed a bit.

 

Good luck for you and your family!

If u put anyone as dependent u r solely responsible for their health and financial needs even if there are not included in the application at this time but what if u include them later on. So its a whole different story. Better u fill the form and change them to other family members.

A short travel to overseas is fine. I had 4 months gap and I got 887 within 7 weeks. Make sure that you prove them that you were paying bills and all while you were away. When I was away i was still paying my rent ,utilities etc. This will prove that you continued to stayed in the place that you were supposed to.

Yes u do need overseas PCC. Better u arrange it before applying so u can attach everything at once. Or u will be given 28 days to submit requested docs by CO..

Hi max2015.

 

As suggested by Pb08vk..you should apply and get PCC before applying for 887.i can understand your point that you got your PCC and then u not been to your country.same is the case of everyone mostly.but see the checklist for 887 and check for PCC validity on immi webisite.all PCC(AFP and overseas) are valid for one year from the date of issuing.Read the old messages on this forum.applicant are always asked for OPCC and AFP.infact few senior had to provide AFP again(those 2013/2014 applicant) because of the validity issue of PCC.its a matter of $42 only but will save your time and worry.

Hi all,

Thanks for sharing your experience and information.

 

I was granted 489 on Nov 13 but I moved to regional on Jan 2014. My question is, Can I apply for 887 on Nov 2015 or I have to wait until Jan 2016 ?

Thanks for suggestions

[max2015]

Hi sas , I think u will need to wait until 2016 January . As ur two years counting on the date you actually moved to the designated or regional area.
