akhil_john Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 you are eligible to apply for 887 visa while you are waiting for the 489 bridging visa.? could you explain it a little bit more? One more thing, we cannot add applicant(not 489) directly to 887 visa?isn't it? Everyone should have 489 while applying for 887 .isn it? Why don't they provide pre-grants instead of delaying?

Why don't they provide pre-grants instead of delaying? 1) While you are waiting for 489 visa grant, you are eligible to apply for 887 visa as long as you fulfill the 2 years residential and 1 year full time working requirement. 2) You can't simply add your dependent on the 887 visa. Everyone need to hold 489 visa in order to apply for 887 visa. The cost of subsequent entry for 489 visa is $4,045. So if the primary applicant already meet the 2 years residential 1 year full time work requirement, the secondary applicant can also apply for 887 visa at the same time while he/she is waiting for 489 visa grant. Don't understand your last question about the pre-grant. Pre-grant is given for 887 visa holders in case they are not in Australia at the time of the decision is being made. It's not related to the 489 visa. Edited July 7, 2020 by Kevin Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aarry Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 On 21/05/2020 at 11:47, Kevin Kim said: Thanks. mate. I think we are really on the same boat. When I submitted all my documents, in order to reduce the visa processing time, I created separate file that I would like to pay the VAC2 payment for my wife as she doesn't have a functional English test result. After this pandemic, my wife studied and passed the functional English level and I submitted the English and I updated her English test and notified immigration that she passed and does not want to pay the VAC2 payment accordingly. Anyway, let's see when they grant the visa. Please share your case update once you get any further notifications from the immigration. Hi, Can you please clarify that do I need 4.5 in ielts oerall or each. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAY PATEL Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hi everyone, I had applied for my wife's visa on 9th of January this year. CO contact on 20th Jan requesting some additional proofs for relationship. Submitted docs within 3 weeks and haven't heard back since then. I also tried for exemption recently. Interestingly reason to reject the application was given to be safety of community. They didn't said that she don't have visa. Did anyone tried for same? Thanks.

I read an interesting post about the one lady working as a nurse in her home country. She is waiting for her 489 subsequent visa outside of Australia and applied for the travel exemption and it was approved. Interestingly, her visa was also approved a few days later. So, I think the your wife case is pretty common thing. If your exemption application was approved, your wife would get the visa straight away. I also applied for my wife 489 exactly 2 months behind you, and I already fulfilled the 887 visa requirement 18th of June, just wasting my time.

Doctors and nurses are being given exemptions at the moment, unlike most other people, because Australia welcomes them to help deal with Covid.

I will also be eligible for 887 in December but won't be able to apply if she is not here. Have you tried contacting immigration department regarding this?

I agree with Marisa. They have listed down some professions which are prioritized at the moment, the link is attached below: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/employing-and-sponsoring-someone/sponsoring-workers/pmsol so if anyone falls under category listed in above link they will be granted exemption and visa immediately.

It's nothing against to the migration act, we are just innocent victims. I have been wasting my time since June 2020, but there are still many people have been waiting since 2019, September is the worst case I know. Luckily, the amendment was published recently the immigration will save those people who was not able to lodge 887 visa by waiting their spouse and expired their 489 visa. There is nothing we can do at this moment. Hopefully, I can hear that those 2019 visa applicants grant their spouse's 489 SE grant shortly.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, do you know someone who has received a grant and is not on the critical occupation list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
