Hi Leni have you been granted the visa now?

Hi Leni, 

How is going? We are still waiting for a positive outcome no case officer appointed to my file yet. Now we have been waiting 21 months. How about yours? any news regarding 888 A visa processing? 

Oh really? But I got a good news from one of my family friends yesterday who was in this visa. They got their PR yesterday.  She applied on January 2020. They waited 20 months. 
I’m also applied from the same lawyer. I have been waiting 17 months now. Hopefully by the end of this year according to their results.

@Shayamali

We applied May 2020, still waiting too. Expecting to wait another year now

Hi Leni,

any news from the immigration about your visa? At least your file is not open yet?

Hi guys,

We live in Greater Sydney which is under lockdown right now. If someone who live in this area and who knows about more details of Covid 19 disaster payment (one off $500) please let me know.

Does our visa category eligible to get this payment? 

Here are the requirements need to meet for this payment. I’m not sure about our visa category. ??
 

You need to meet all the eligibility rules to get the payment.

To get it you must meet all of the following:

• you're an Australian resident or hold an eligible working visa
• you're 17 years or older
• you don’t get an income support payment, the Pandemic Leave Disaster Payment, a state or territory pandemic payment or a state small business payment for the same period
• you live or work in a Commonwealth-declared COVID-19 hotspot
• you had paid employment and because of a COVID-19 lockdown, hotspot or period of restricted movement you can’t attend work on or after day 8
• you’ve lost income on or after day 8 and don’t have any appropriate paid leave entitlements
• you have liquid assets of less than $10,000.

Hi Alex,

thank you for sharing the FOI details of this visa 888 a. Do you have recent records? I mean records in 2021? I have heard that this visa has a fast processing time at this moment?

If you know any news regarding this visa process please let us know. I applied April last year 2020. Still waiting and very frustrating

Another family friend applied August 2019 (20 months) and are also still waiting. Yes it's very frustrating

Hi Leni,

what is the latest news about your family friend who is in a long waiting for 22 months?

What has happened to their application? 
still waiting?

I just completed 12 months after applying 888a . I’m 4 months behind you.

another question. Do we have to keep going the business until we granted this visa? 

yes, same here . We applied April 2020. Still waiting . My children are in uni now. It's very frustrating , their course fee are very high.

Hi Alex,

May I ask if you're still waiting for your 888 visa? We applied about 6 months ago and was expecting 12 months processing time. Now the government website says 23-24 months.

Hi Leni,

may I ask if you are still waiting to your visa? I applied mine an year ago. But no any reply from them yet. It’s frustrating

Hi Alex and Leni,

have you got any updates about your visa? I’m waiting for mine. I lodged my application on April, 2020. Almost an year now? If you have any information regarding this visa please let me know.

Hi I applied my 888a visa last April 2020. It’s been almost 1 year since I lodged my application. But unfortunately the processing time of this visa is so long at the moment. Does anyone recently got this visa? Advice me how long should I have to wait for the outcome? The website says this visa will be delayed in an other year???
