Yes, I received the email from Australian Immigration office already. My country was stricter as they need to see an official letter.

I was only given 28 days to produce. Hopefully no delay from the postal.

 

@SSY @Yameen Did you stay overseas for more than 30 days -90 days or it was just a stay of 30 days ? Can you please confirm

Hi guys! I got my PR 887. Can anyone please let me know what next steps I have to take in regards to Medicare or centrelink or anything else? What are the documents needed for citizenship ?

Congrats akie. My wife file is also open today. Co asked for  more evidence of relationship. File lodged 18 September 

Yes you should always have solid proofs of relationship. To be honest I had uploaded 33 docs for relationship proof and 11 docs  for family unit-  Those docs are very important.  I didnt get CO a chance to ask for anything more.  Try to upload all the relationship proofs you have and u will get it within 20 days

Wow...Guess the processing was super quick considering your timeline. Indeed there is no standard processing time for the subsequent entry as stipulated on DHA website.

But just a quick one, Did your Immi Account show an estimated processing time ?

@Bretheren  There is no processing time which shows in immi account. It just shows either received or further assesment or initial assessment (check my above post)  

My status went directly from Received to finalised.  In my research and experience it completely depends upon your documentation and especially relationship proofs. Make sure you upload whatever you have for the relationship proof

Hi Akie, was it an onshore application?

No it was offshore. I dont think that matters if offshore or onshore.  If you have proper documentation,  thats what matters in the end.  

Just now, Bretheren said:

Congrats Akie....Was your application 489 or 489 Subsequent entrant ?

This thread is for 489 subsequent visa only !! So yes it was 489 subsequent entry visa for my wife as I already hold 489 

Hello Everyone, 

With God's Grace Alhamdullilah  got the golden email this morning at 11:30 am.

I have been an active member of this forum and can't thank enough for the people who are so helping in this forum. 

Timeline:

Visa applied: 28th Aug 2019  

Updated date : 29th Aug 2019

Direct Grant: 1st Oct 2019 -   No CO contact -   My wife did medical the 2nd day after I applied for her visa

Latest Updated date :  1st Oct 2019    Remember updated date is the date when CO touches your file.

Submitted all the docs 56 attachments slowly during the period of 4 weeks as I had to make word files for photos and then convert them to Pdf.  I had uploaded all the docs by  26th Sept 2019 .

If you have uploaded all the docs within 30 days its ok-  NOTE that in my observation I have seen CO's  touching the file immediately after 30 days after you have applied let it be any visa.

IMPORTANT to REMEMBER:- If you have done medical and uploaded all the required docs at the start of the application, then you can slowly upload other doccs  within 4 weeks which I did. 

Also I should mention special thanks to @Pradip jung @Avneet @P.P @Zeee Also special Thanks to @Shivam He was really very very helpful and replied to my messages.

Best of luck to everyone who are still waiting for the Grant

Hope everyone waiting gets their grant soon. 

Let me know if anyone has any questions. Happy to help as I had done a lot of research before I appplied for 489 visa.  My relationship declaration was 3 pages long and same was my wife's declaration.

Anyone got the grant recently ? Any grants . Just wanted to know the recent timeline

I could find the below from the IMMI website

The status shows next to your application in 'My applications summary'.

• Incomplete means you have started but not completed an application.
• Ready to submit means you have completed an application and can submit.
• Submitted means you have submitted an application.
• Received means we have received an application from you and can assess it within the current processing times.
• Initial assessment means we are assessing your application.
• Further assessment means we are assessing the information we requested from you.
• Finalised means we have made a decision. We will notify you by email or post.

Note: The application status for My Health Declarations and Partner sponsorship forms will always display a status of submitted and will not change to a status of received.

@Vick  Hey mate,  When did u apply for the visa?  What is the status showing for you in the immi account ?

Hi Everyone, 

with Waheguru ji(God’s) Grace, my wife got visa today. 

Timeline:

Visa applied: Mid March

submitted all the docs at once. No CO contact direct grant.

 

hope everyone waiting gets their grant soon. 

Thanks

 

@Avneet Congrats !!! finally the wait is over. Bit it seems that now they are taking 6 months to give a grant 

Hi all,

Any grants ?

Whats the status it shows online, after you submit all the documents?

Mine shows “Received”, is this the same for everyone?  Does it show Initial assessment  after the case officer sees the application? 

I am also curios as I uploaded the documents slowly on diffferent dates after I submitted the applications.

Will the case officer  be able to see all  the 55 attachments  which are uploaded on different date when he sees the file  ?

Hi everyone, 

sorry could not update you about my wife's visa status.

Applied Offshore, my wife was in Nepal

Lodged on march 8, 2019

CO contacted after 10 days march 18, 2019, asked for health assessment

conducted health assessment march 22, 2019

Visa Grant on April 16, 2019

Luckily, It took less then 1.5 months, i think it is totally a luck of whose file is opened first, provided documents and reopened first again. My advice to everyone here will be, gather all documents, as many as you can, and upload it at once while lodging the visa. I was planning to apply for tourist visa, but the 489 subsequent visa came just 1 hour before the i lodged the tourist visa.  I used to read all these posts and to be frank it really helps. I will suggest you to read as many document as you can but don't believe everything, call and ask immigration, go to immigration office and ask about the confusions.

I am not a migration agent, nor an expert but i know how hard it is to wait for your loved ones.....so i am sharing what i have uploaded as relationship evidence

Relationship proof of 489 family subsequent, i uploaded following things

1. photographs of Marriage day (paste photos on word file and write small details below the photo)

2. Photographs of Reception day (paste photos on word file and write small details below the photo)

3. Photographs of my and my wife, make a photo story (paste photos on word file and write small details below the photo)

4. Photographs of my wife with my family and relatives (paste photos on word file and write small details below the photo)

5. Marriage Certificate from government

6. Relationship proof with your family from government

7. Travel tickets for honeymoon (flight tickets with boarding pass) and hotel booking for honeymoon

8. Joint bank account (Open new one in the name of couple, do some transactions and scan the statement showing both names)

9. all social media chats(facebook, whats app, viber, instagram, emails and skype video chat) screenshots (paste photos on word file and write small details below the photo)

10. proof that you have send money to your wife account or joint account

provide details as you can, first make all documents ready and then apply and upload at a same time, and take a health assessment date after applying quickly.

Visitor visa is 50 percent chance at any cost. worth taking a risk. if you are rejected for visitor visa you have to go to the form again and tick previous visa rejected section somewhere and update it. just be aware that if 489 is decided first and then visitor visa is decided second then visitor visa will be valid, 489 will get cancelled.

Hope it helps everyone

i am not much active in this group now, but will see the post once a week or so

My Wife is here now and we have applied 887 on June 27, 2019. is there forum or group for 887 ???

All the Best Everyone

Pradip

HI guys- quick question for guys who got 489 grants-  My wife got the PCC from india delhi passport office but her passport was not stamped.  Is this normal ?  Because at my time 2 years back when I got my PCC my passport was also stamped

Mine is almost 4 months now. No contact from CO. 

seems like they have increased the processing time and I think there have been no grants since last 4 months. Anyone here who got the grant recently ?
