489 visa to 887

fgs

Di yata tama itong statement na to. Yong main applicant lang dapat magcomply don sa 2 years residency unless nabago na. Nong nag apply kami, one of my dependent is only 1 year here in Au.

Please note that main applicant, partner and each dependent included in the 887 must provide an evidence of meeting the 2yr residency requirement.

@Au_Vic and for everybody...for your reference...sagot ito ng Manager ng Business Support GSM regarding my query noon about my dependent nephews..Dependent Spouse can be the main applicant in 887 application while dependent children/relatives cannot.

I am writing with reference to your questions regarding making an application for a Skilled Regional (subclass 887) visa. As the subclass 887 visa is a General Skilled Migration (GSM) visa your enquiry was referred to this area for a response.

As you may be aware information about the subclass 887 visa is published on the department’s website

See: http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/887.aspx

With respect to your specific questions about applying for a subclass 887 visa and including your nephews in your application I can advise as follows

You are the only person who can be the main applicant for a subclass 887 visa and only you need to satisfy the requirement of 2 years residence and 12 months of full time work
There is no minimum residency requirement that your nephews must satisfy before you can include them in your application
Each person included in your application must have complied with the condition 8539 while in Australia
You can include your nephews in your application even if they are no longer financially dependent on you
If you want to include your nephews in your application you must do this at the time you lodge your application as they cannot be added after the application is lodged
Your nephews cannot become eligible to apply for a subclass 887 visa in their own right given they hold a subclass 489 visa that was granted to them as your dependents i.e. while holding their current visas they can only apply if included in your application.

@fgs

hi, kindly check the dibp website and the link i have provided above. in the "gather section" tab, they have specifically identified documents required for each member included in the application (e.g. main, spouse/partner, dependent over 18 and dependent under 18).

dibp website is the gold source of truth as the information they have there is linked to the immigration law in australia? but if they are processing visa applications in a different manner to what they have published in their website then I need to call their attention coz its misleading to the public.

also note that they may have changed the rules since you applied for your 887.

let me know your thoughts so I could reach out to dibp.

cheers!

Au_Vic

@fgs here is the link to dibp website specific section subclass 887

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/887- tab "follow these steps"

When did you apply for your 887?

fgs

@Au_Vic ganon ba...2016 lang ako nag-apply February

fgs

@Au_Vic yong main applicant yata ang tinutuloy don sa 2 years live in regional area...subsequent entrant yong isa kong dependent, so more than a year lang sya dito when we applied

Au_Vic

@fgs hi, recently lang inupdate ung requirements. it only shows na mejo nagiging strict na din sila for 887.

nka-identify kc ung specific documents/requirement na needed per type of applicant main, partner or dependent above or below 18.

fgs

@Au_Vic Nakita ko nga na dapat lived in regional area for two years...better ask DIBP na lang sa mga applicants na may dependents especially sa may mga subsequent entrant. Ibig ba sabihin nito kung may subsequent entrant dapat antayin muna sya na maka 2 years before the whole family can apply? Kasi ang dependent have no right to apply for 887. Dapat kasama sya don sa main applicant ng 489.

Au_Vic

@fgs yep, applicants can always ask dibp. I think based dun sa information sa immi, lahat ng member ng 887 application dapat na-meet yung 2 yr residency requirement. most likely yan ung malaking change from previous ruling.

may note kc dun sa eligibility section from immi website na "dependents and partners who hold a skilled visa and meet all other eligibility criteria can apply for subclass 887 as main applicant"

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/887-#tab-content-0

You must currently hold either:

a skilled visa

b. Bridging visa A or Bridging visa B that was granted in relation to an application for a subclass 487, 489 or 495.

You must have held a skilled visa at some time for at least two years before you apply for the visa.

<b class="Bold">Note: Dependents and partners who hold a skilled visa and meet all other eligibility criteria can apply for this subclass 887 visa as the main applicant</b>.

Hi @Au_Vic , with this recent policy change, naalala ko tuloy ung advice sakin ni @fgs na dapat samahan namin ng mga bata c hubby sa OZ sa lungkot at ligaya 🙂

Was thinking kc kung pede sumunod nalang after a year para hindi syadong malaking adjustment for the whole family.

Thank you @Au_Vic for the info/update.

Au_Vic

@spyware hi, pwede pa din nmn na sumunod na lang kau ng kids mo sa hubby mo. it depends sa plano nyo at sitwasyon. iba kc kpg may kids na involved especially kung di agad makakita ng work. yun nga lang mejo made-delay ng konti ung application nyo ng 887.

spyware

@Au_Vic True, for me mahirap kung sabay2x kasama mga kids. baka hintay nalng muna kahit for a few mos. lang para sumunod.

Thanks for your guidance 🙂

Hi to all question lang po,were planning to apply visa 489 sponsored by relative. Ang question ko po if dapat ba un relative namin na mag sponsor samin dapat nakatira sya dun sa list of regional designated area? Salamat in advance

daye00

And Isa pa po question pag visa 489 ba Mas mabilis Ang invite compare sa 189 and 190?

MLBS

@daye00 489 family sponsor can have long wait times depending sa occupation. sa 489 FS kasi mapupunta yung sobrang slots na di nagamit sa 189 kung mangyayari yun. By the trend nowadays malabo mainvite sa 489 lalo na sa occupations such as engineering, IT, accountancy.

@MLBS i tried to lodge 489(fam) sa victoria and got my invitation in just 2 weeks po pero naghihingi din ako advice sa kabilang forum if ilodge ko na ung 489. Actually nauna pa siya sa 190 NSW EOI ko. Until now wala pa ako feedback sa status ng 190 ko one month ko na inaantay

MLBS

@jomar011888 Ano po ba occupation nyo sir? Maybe hindi sya pro rata kaya mabilis kayo nainvite. Think about the 489 carefully sir. Many people here would do anything just to get an invite regardless kung anong visa type yan. Good thing na meron na kayong invite asap

jomar011888

@MLBS electrical engr po, tama po kau nanghingi nga ako ng advice sa kabilang forum kasi undecided pa ako if i will lodge the 489 visa after receiving the ITA. May pending 190 pa ako and also considering the PTE para eligible for 189 pero nakikita ko nga at base sa advice ng mga kabayan natin to grab this 489 sayang ang chance kasi hanggang dec 3 pa valid ang Invitation letter ko...
