We got granted our 886 visa on 16/09/2015 - very relieved. Wishing all the best for the offshore applicants; from what I understand the ones who are in Australia are the only ones that can challenge the cap and cease legally. They ones who are overseas will have to wait for the outcome which will set the precedent. However if you accept the refund you accept their decision and thus cannot challenge now or in the future.

Hi all, I've been a silent regular follower of this thread for a few years and am happy to say my family has recently been allocated a case officer. Our details are as follows: Subclass: Onshore 886 Family Sponsored Type: Online Migration Agent: None (Self Application) Sponsor: Aunt (Mother's sister) who is an Australian citizen since 2007 Application date: 22 DEC 2009 Case officer: 09 JUN 2015 Occupation: Rehabilitation Counsellor (50 points) IELTS: 7.0 (15 points) Age: Late 20s (30 points) Education: Australian Bachelors Degree (5 points) Total Points: 100 Points Country: South Africa (High Risk) Residence: Living in Perth WA since 2006 (including university) Dependents: Spouse included in original 886 visa application and 2 Australian born children added later whilst on bridging visas. Documents Requested: Form 1277, Form 80, Overseas & AFP Police checks, Medical Checks and Children's Australian Birth Certificates. I've already got most of the requested documents ready to go and will be submitted it fairly soon, just waiting on the AFP checks. Hoping to submit it all this financial year (FY) before they change their minds and when things may stagnate again! Does anyone know if I will fall into next year's quota if I submit the documents after 1 JULY 2015 or have we already been allocated to this FY's quota as we contacted by the case officer this FY?
