Good day...

could anyone guide me on how to apply for the SC 489 Subsequent Entrant...

I am planning to apply for my spouse..

Do I apply via my IMMI account or do I create a separate IMMI account for him ..

Secondly.. will my spouse share the same Transaction Reference Number..

Many thanks...

I know this reply is too late...Then also, may helpful for somebody....

Create a separate Immi account for him...When he apply through his immi account, in the first page of the application, YOUR date of birth and YOUR 489's Transaction reference number should be filled..

Yes Jose, we have today applied for 887   not sure abt the advantage of being onshore.

It has been approved on end of June 2018 after 9 months. Thank God!

thanks friend!...hope to see you soon???

Congrats Sreeja!........I think, you got it early because you are 'onshore'!.....Are you going to apply 887 soon?!.....Yes, sure, I will update once we get grant!...

Thanks for the update Sreeja!.....I have gone through above link..but the 'speed grants'  discussed there are  '489 visa' and not  '489 subsequent entrant visa'...489 is priority processing visa!.....I tried a lot to get a timeline for a 489 subsequent entrant visa filed in 2017, but not yet find one even after searching many forums...Our file passed 5 months from the CO first contact...Don't know what to do!....

I think, dept has got less staff now a days...so there is a delay in most cases..waiting...waiting...

Hi Sreeja, any update on your file?!....or did you find any timeline with recent grant?!

Sure, will update you once  the subsequent visa is granted!..

Hi Sreeja, My wife applied for the same on Aug 25, 2017.. Co came on 5 Sep 2017 asking to submit an additional document and we submitted it  on Sep 6th. After that no news till date..Usually, it will take 5-6 months(For India) from the time of application submission. So you have to wait patiently...
