887 Visa - What's the update?

[Ajmartins]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to apply for 887, is there any guidance pages for filling in the pages on the site?

I have some doubts when it comes time to put my family members.

Accompanying members of your family unit

My wife? (but I can't put in  "Relationship to you' - 'Spouse/De Facto Partner ' this option does not appear to me)

Non-accompanying members of your family unit

Blank?

Other family members

My wife? (here I can put in  "Relationship to you' - 'Spouse/De Facto Partner ' this option is available  to me)

My father?

My mother?

My 3 sister?

I'm just applying for me and my wife. We have no children. Then I have to put the last addresses of my parents? my 3 sisters?

Thanks

Hi Guys,

Few queries, could some seniors advise pls ;

1. Picture of my baby in her passport was taken when she was 1 month old, now she is 10 months old, do you think the picture in her passport needs to be updated as it looks different as she has grown up.

Thanks

Hi senior members I need help I'm confused in non accompanying family member and other family member 

Where do we put our parents and siblings?

[Ice Breaker]

Hi Everyone,

Me and my family will be applying this November for 887, I just like to ask if my son, who is only 3 years old, need to prove the 2 year residency? Does his name needed to be on the tenancy agreement? 

Thanks in advance!

Guys, I don't have any problem having the "Long Haul of 887" WhatsApp channel to gather people. But I am afraid this WhatsApp Channel will make the 887 Forum to be abandoned.  Please note that 887 Forum has been very active page over the lat years and it was one of the best pages that helped applicants to pass their voice, comments and complains socially. I believe the 887 Forum is monitored by Immigration and if we don't post our complains and pressure through 887 Forum there wont be any progress from immigration side. Suggest lets start chatting and posting comment through 887 Forum.

Great job guys.

I have a question regarding form 80. If any one came across the same are if anyone knew the way please help me.

I am running out of space on the last page of form 80.

It mention as "If you do not have enough space, please attach a separate statement to this form"

How do  attach the extra sheet to the form 80?

You can fill out as many as empty pages that you are given at the end of form 80. If they are not enough, grab some more empty pages from a blank form 80. All you need to do is to scan them together as a one pdf form 80 .

Please check the previous comments and pages, you will understand. 

Also, someone mentioned yesterday that she has  a fried in immigration and she was told that these pages and forums are monitored. 

But if you want a real example, I can give you: 

Immigration tried to increase the processing time twice significantly over the last year. Every time that they increased the time, we started complaining and organising an action against them through this forum. suddenly they granted us a couple of grants to cool us down and give us some time to settle with their increased processing time. Once we are calmed and got used to their processing time, they stop giving grants. 

If you realised, people are not complaining too much over the last 5 days and pretty much immi feel we all accepted the increased time. So, no more grant is coming except a few...

Dear All Seniors,

I already applied for 887 visa, unfortunately, I worked 3 places to get my 35 Hours condition to be fulfilled for permanent residency. However, lately I got full time job from one of the meat factory, but, they also removed me from the job.



Until, now no case officer assigned to me, however, shall I move to metropolitan area on city side?

What kind of reference letter shall I take from my 4 employers? Can someone share with me the copy or text?

@jasmin FR - First and foremost, you cannot move to metropolitan area unless you are on a 489 Family Sponsorship Regional Visa . Family Regional Sponsorship allows you to live and work in designated areas. Most of the Melbourne area is considered as designated area for this visa. However, if you are in 489 Regional Sponsorship Visa, you MUST live and work in regional area and you are not allowed to move to metropolitan suburbs unless your 489 Visa is expired and you are on bridging visa.

Re working hours, it doesn't matter how many jobs you had to fullfill 35 hours per week. All you need to do is to get letters form your employers and add them together to show that you worked altogether 35 hours per week. Please attach them along with your pay slip and upload them to your immi account. Hope you can provide these info before you are assigned a CO.

@Mazie, just a clarification, have you put them as "non accompanying"? or "accompanying"?

Do you know that you cannot easily put your parents and sibling as "accompanying member" in your application without fulfilling the conditions. There are certain criteria and conditions that you and your parents have to meet them to be eligible for accompanying member in your application. e.g. if you want to put your parents as accompanying member, one of the conditions says that above 50% of the kid (your brothers and sisters) should be in Australia and they should have permanent residency. This is a very simple condition and there are some more to look into. Suggest to consult with an experienced immigration lawyer if you really would like to put your family in your application.

Just to clarify, I didnt say its not possible. I flagged that there are some conditions and criteria that you need to pass them.

I did same mistake while completing my application. I’m single and i have added my parents and siblings under non accompanying family members. I have corrected it and saying i was not sure my parents and siblings will come under other family members.

i don’t think so it’s going to be an issue.  Just go to immi account and make a correction.

i even can see all of them in my account but there are no option of documents attachment under their names when i click their folders as they are non accompanying.

I added them as non accompanying members but they are appearing in my application as applicants we have no intention to add them in our application at this moment as I understand its difficult

@Doman, could you pls advise me where to put our parents  & siblings, is it under non accompanying or other family members. Also, my brother is here in Australia on a student visa, should I put him as accompanying /non-accompanying or other family members? Thanks

@WANGS, when you fill up the online application, there will be a question you will be asked about their details. Their will be option to chose either Accompanying or non Accompanying. You can select either one based on your situation.

If your brother is on student visa, I can assume that he is over 18 years old and you can not put him as accompanying member.

RE your parents, it depends. You cannot put them as accompanying members unless more than 50% family members have Australian permanent residency. There are some other ways you can think of putting them as accompanying member in your application, but its not as simple as possible. If you really want to do so, I suggest consult with an experienced agent.

At this stage, if you are married, I suggest only put your wife and your kids in your application as accompanying member. If not, maybe proceed on a single person application.

Its usual if you can see their names in your immi account page. It appears in my page as well. It doesn't mean that Immigration will consider that they will be accompanying you. Don't worry, it should be alright.

No way my friend, they don't waste their time reading forums....
