So nobody in this group has recently received an 887 Visa or has worked with a client who has been granted one? A little worrying. still listed as assessing visas submitted before September 2020. (Been like that for over a year)

Hi, just wondering who has recently been granted an 887 either personally or as a visa agent. and when you submitted. just curious if they have started September 2020 batch yet? cheers.

As far as I’m aware.. a caution is not a criminal record.

Hopefully this means the backlog is getting cleared as I've been waiting since September 2020. The no flight rule on my bridging visa has meant I've missed some family members passing away and not been able to travel home. Also cant buy a house and the market keeps going up.. had enough of it now to be honest. sorry, fed up rant over. I know I am not the only one in this boat.

Whilst I'm currently waiting over the "usual processing times" for my 887 (submitted 30 Sept 2020) I'm looking over things that I may of missed, the only form I don't have submitted it the 956 & 956A.... https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/form-listing/forms/956.pdf Now some time ago in 2020 I asked about this and was told on the forum, since I'm not using a migration agent I don't need to fill it out.. still the case? Cheers

its pathetic really. And I know that they will want an updated police check as mine will be 2 years out of date.. but if I did another now and its 1,2 or 3 months old by the time they finally get around to it, they will still ask for a new anyway one so might as well wait for the request.

has anybody here been processed from the September 2020 batch yet? I'm currently just over the 90% processed time and easing into the "Outside standard processing timeframe" just curious as it feels like a bit of a joke at this point waiting over two years.. it feels like they've been "We are currently assessing applications submitted before September 2020" for a long long time...

on your Immi Account login in you should have the section "Update Details" and choose "Change of circumstances" I think that's the correct space as I need to do the same.

Oooh in for a wait then. will be worth it when it arrives. All my family are permanent residents so just looking to be able to stay with them all.

When did you submit? I sent mine in Sept 30 2020.

They changed again! I feel like each few weeks they keep going up! They’ve been assessing visas submitted before September 2020 for what feels like a year now thanks for the info on the job front. It’s definitely a opportunity I can’t miss.

Hey there. I’ve been on my 489 for nearly 4 years and I’ve been working in a job that my skill is based on. I have a visa in for an 887 and should hear something in the next 4 months (according to their 22 month wait times) now I’ve just been offered a job that isn’t in my skill but it’s a great opportunity and it’s within state government. now I know that I never had to have a job in the skill as I can’t find any wording in my visa that required it and to verify for the 887 I only had to be fully employed for 2 years in the 4 years visa as well as other criteria .. (I’ve been employed since day one to now so nearly 4 years) so my question is if I take this job and change job skills could it have a negative effect on my 887? im close to the end but also can’t give up this opportunity cheers.

makes sense as I'm "onshore" and was granted a bridging visa pretty much straight away that comes into effect if the waiting period extends and my 489 runs out.

haha i too need to add the year. applied Sep 30 2020

I am also waiting on my 887 submitted September 30 so hopefully wont be too long... current wait time is 16 months. I am currently in Aus. did you apply directly for the 887 or have previously been on another visa? I have progressed from a 489 skilled regional.
