Did you import your application to your IMMI account ?

No. I see this option, but I didnot try yet, because I am not sure. so I need to import the application, then I will see it?

I also applied through an agent. He didn't want to give me the access. 

I created my own IMMI account and import the application using application number. 

Then I was able to see all the details. Still my agent doesn't know that I was accessing my application.

you can travel oversea w/o informing them or getting BVB B as long as your 489 is still effect. when 489 is expired, then the BVB A will be in effect.  in that case, you need to get BVB B to travel out. 

just notice you that, during the time you are away from Australia, if the CO get you the visa, they will give you the notice! maybe, it will be pre-grant... something. then you have to go back and wait for times to get the grant  

hope it helps you out

cheers

@JoeIAm Thank you

When did u apply??

I would say go n visit your family. There is no point waiting and stressing yourself out to wait for the visa.  God knows how  long its going to take and what immigration is planning for us. I think just to avoid any further delayed get PCC and upload Before they ask..

@10th feb I applied in March 2018. So turning 1 year next month. Congratulations on your grant!

Guys, someone is messing up our spreadsheet every day now, a couple of times a day I am having to fix it...  Please be very careful with it.

I also noticed a nasty trend  - someone is writing offensive stuff in the spreadsheet, this is unacceptable. I keep removing it, but it is coming back. Whoever is doing this, please STOP. 

This is the reason @Russki i am not in spreadsheet

Yes, I know @Skaur mate, and it makes me very angry that some person does this to us.  I had to delete more nasty things off the tracker last night and this morning. I don't know what else I can do apart from policing it all the time.

Good morning ladies and gents

@Delfin My bridging visa (BVA) also says NIL conditions.

Quick question:

Those of you who have applied for 887 and received a bridging visa A. Does it say "no conditions" in your BVA or do some of you have conditions attached to your BVA? Thanks

Mine says exactly the same as above.

Throw stones at me, if you dont like the bitter truth.. The truth is... Some people from countries like mine don't deserve to migrate.

Australians allow us to come in, build our churches and temples. They accept the way of our living. 

Its us who are racist, and think some are better than the others. 

I say: Dont fix the Excel for a 2 - 3 weeks  let them have the "Win" they want.

Thank you Russki, you are a real hero. Without people like you, such a great facilities won't absolutely work . 

I must admit that this forum and spreadsheet have given me a great relief through shedding some light on the limbo we have been facing and keep on reminding me: hang on, you are not alone! so please guys, don't ruin it

Good on you mate.

Just fixed the sheet. It was messed up again

Travelling and Living are different.

Unless stated specifically, All your living restrictions on 489 Visa applies to the bridging visa. 

If your 489 is still valid, Bridging visa isnt active.

Few days back I write to Global Feedback Unit that it's more than a year now after I applied for 887 and they replied - 

The Department has received feedback from an anonymous source.

 In accordance with the Department’s Client Feedback Policy, the feedback will be recorded and referred to the relevant business area for information.

 Departmental records indicate that your application is still under consideration.

 I have referred your feedback to the skilled regional visa management team for information. Please continue to monitor your ImmiAccount for updates, requests for further information and/or an application outcome. In the event that your personal situation changes, please contact the Department via your ImmiAccount.

 I have now closed this feedback case.

 

What does that mean?

Good evening all. Been reading through alot of your questions/replies. I applied back in June and haven't heard anything as of yet. I submitted all doc's myself and by reading through all your messages I think I may have forgotten stuff. All I sent in was a few pay slips and places where I've lived. Did everyone send in every payslip for the year of work needed. Also police check i never sent in either but looks like everyone else has. Any info would be great help. Thanks Luke

PS Congrats to people getting there grants through

I applied in August and havent heard anything either.. and I only submitted my paygs for 2 years and also I did police check for canada and an australian one .. pretty sure you do need police checks as its in the checklist for 887 application. Dont know if this helps but thats what I did..

  I think, I can translate it for you into "human" language: 

Global feedback guys told case officers that you'd complained. They also consider this complaint closed and will not look into it any more. "Just wait" is their answer, your visa will come in its own time.  

[Kapil]

Means it will hardly push a CO to expedite the case??

Not necessarily. The CO quite possibly will look at the case and if there is nothing outstanding, the grant will come.  

It is just the Global Feedback Unit are saying, they finished with this complaint, forwarded it, and it is now up to processing team.

Sometimes it's so depressing and suffocating to live like that. We are neither IN nor OUT. Can not buy own house, can not expand business. Whatever plans we make, stuck at Visa condition/ uncertainty. Surprisingly, visa 887 is not in priority list means, people living ONSHORE, contributing in community, want to settle in regional areas are not priority but people sitting OFFSHORE are on priority.

You are right.  Awfully frustrating... Just a little read about all of us on bridging visas:

Guys, I found these videos from a migration agent.  Maybe obvious info for some, but still:
