Thank you so much for the helpful information RBP... Really appreciate it.

Good day everyone! Hi RBP, Any chance you can share the link of the online application for AFP please.. I might need one as well as our certificates will be expiring very soon. Thanking you in advance..

Thank you so much for the feedback blossom. I think 887 is taking longer nowadays too like rsms compared before. Standard processing time is 6 months too. It is just that 887 has no conditions at all when granted. Regards

Good day everyone. I posted this issue of mine on another thread but found no luck on getting some feedback. Please I need your help everyone… Curently, I am on a 475 Visa. Approved April 2011 and activated here in SA June 2011. I was luckily employed full-time since July 2011. Last February 2012, my employer was willing to sponsor me for a PR visa (857 that time). Getting a PR visa sooner, the better for me and my family as a whole. We really wanted to be settled here in Australia and so I grabbed the opportunity. Processing of the application and sourcing out needed documents started Feb 2012. Sad to say some delays were encountered during the processing. HR in charge went for holidays, documents submitted by company to agent were incomplete, some incorrectly filled up and many other issues. As new policies were issued on July 1, 2012, I needed to take IELTS as my previous IELTS result used during the Skills Assessment was already expired. (Other added time and expense incurred) To cut the story short, FORMAL VISA LODGMENT (187 DRC) only took place Oct., 2012. Visa acknow. Received Nov. 2012. No news since then.. Now I got questions in mind that bothers me. I am only about 3 months away to satisfy the 2–year condition stay with the 475 visa so I will be qualified to apply for the 2nd stage of the visa (887) by then. 1). If in case my 187 visa won’t still be approved until June, can I lodged a separate PR Visa 887? 2). On the other hand, if my 187 visa got approved before June 2013, can I still apply for 887 Visa? It may sound weird but just to have a security for myself and to be free of conditions to my employer. In fairness No problems with employer so far. Happy with the job and pay. But nobody knows though what happens in the future. Please be kind to give your feedbacks. Thanking in advance.
