Re: 887 Visa Applicants
They are the same thing. Are you certain you sent National Police clearance? I had a friend who sent SA police checks by mistake and later had AFP/NPC requested by DIAC. Or did you send old NPC?

It say National Police Check but it has the logo of WA Police. So I think I have to get it done again.

Re: 887 Visa Applicants 2 year requirement
I wouldn't worry about this. We left for 6 weeks over christmas 10/11 and I called when we got back. DIAC said it only matters if you are out of country for over 90 days.

Re: 887 Visa Applicants
Ok, so got my OH to ring them at 9am this morning and sure enough they found us on their system but discovered we have NO case officer and have indeed been overlooked. They explained that in such cases they often fast track applicants and try and slot them in asap but could still be a 3-4 week wait.
So another lesson in patience for us. Thanks to all for your help and advice, we will get there in the end I hope.
And as always will keep you posted as to developments.

My CO replied back on my doubts about AFP and NPC. She asked me to submit AFP from Brisbane. So I have done that yesterday. How long does it take for AFP check? I hope it does not take too long.

Re: 887 Visa Applicants
Hi,
I lodged my 887 visa application online on 9th of jan2011, and no change, no co on my status. Tried calling their office at 1300 364 613 several times at around 20 minutes per occasion but no answer except from the recording. Is there any number to ring brisbane office...
Thanks...

Re: 887 Visa Applicants
We are surely the happiest people alive today after we were granted our permanent Australian visa during the night! It's been the hardest 8 years of our lives (5 years in the planning and 3 living here on a temporary visa) and has almost lost us our sanity and me my teeth! But hey we've finally got it and now things can only get better and better! Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement.
Good luck to all those still waiting.

Re: 887 Visa Applicants
For providing confirmation of a de facto relationship (began before arriving in Australia), what is required and does it need to be some-one in Australia or can it be parents in the UK ?
