From 489 to 887 Visa

[YongKS]

Hi all,

I've been reading through the Home Affairs website and still unable to get clarity on my scenario.

We are a family of 3 (myself+wife+6 year old). Currently on a 489 visa with plans to apply for 887 in the near future.

My Visa 489 was granted on 13 April 2019 (valid til 13 April 2023)

Visa condition is "8539 - Live, study and work in a specified area"

I came over to Adelaide on 26 August 2019, and have not left since.
My wife and daughter came over on 25 Dec 2019 (and also have not left since).

My full time job started on 18 May2020 (still currently in the same job).

My IELTS was on March 2018 (Overall 8.0) and my wife took hers on March 2019 (Overall 8.0)  

 

Questions in regards to application for 887 Visa:

1) If I am the main applicant for 887 Visa, can I apply as soon as 26 August 2021? Or will I need to wait until 25 Dec 2021 as my wife and daughter came over that time?

2) What are the language requirements (if any?). I have been reading that some will be required to submit a "valid" IELST while some says its not required for the 887.

 

Thanks a million in advanced for your advice!

You can apply on or after 26 August 2021

2) What are the language requirements (if any?).

According to my knowledge no need.

Hello there,

 

My subclass 489 visa requirements going to be completed in first week of coming November. I had created my application on immi account but after a certain stage it says " you do not hold a valid prerequisite visa to enable use of this service."

I have double checked my details but it doesn't allow me to go further.

 

Thank you

Keep in u mind that National police check “ is valid for 1 year and if its near to expire submit fresh one, if case official will ask to do so it be a waist of time.
