Hello @arishiel & @macdxb16 -- you can leave the visa number blank.
For our application, I selected Skilled under > Type of Visa Held, and I left the Visa Number Blank.
Thanks.

Hi all,
May tanong po ako, nakalagay kasi sa bridging visa A, not active. Active after skilled regional sponsored end on oct 2021. Then yung
bridging visa conditions: no conditions.
Meaning tapos na kami sa visa conditions ng 489?
Please advise.

Bridging visa kicked in once your 489 visa expires.You will be bounded whatever conditions the bridging visa has. But i guess you can still wait for a few more months for your PR approval before thinking of making big decisions like moving etc :-)

Yes, after Oct 2021 your 489 conditions no longer applies. Good to live and work anywhere if you want while waiting for 887 since processing time at the moment nakakaloka, 24-29 months.

Thank you so much @iamvee. Nakaka-distress kasi yung additional na 24-29 months na waiting time for the result.

You can submit your PAYG or just the 1st and last payslip para di masyadong marami..they can verify the number of hours work by just looking at your total income for the total year

Hi guys, question lang regarding sa Police Clearance for 887. need pa ba kumuha ng latest PCC for all the country na pinag stay at trabahuhan mo? Kumuha kasi ako ulit ng SG PCC last year April para sa work ko then last dec nag overnight ako sa SG bago umuwi ng pinas at last April 2020 nag expired na ulit yung SG PCC ko.. Tanong ko lang kung need ko ba kumuha ulit ng new SG PCC for Visa 887? mag aapply na kasi ako sa July. Thank you.

Hi all! nagreresearch ako about visa subclass 887. Nabasa ko na $415 ang cost ng application para sa main applicant. Covered na ba dun ang family (i.e. with partner + 2 dependents) or $415 per family member ba yun?
Thanks and stay safe!
