If you're leaving for 2.5 months then from what I hear you'll have to wait out an extra 2.5 months just to be on the safe side, before applying for your PR. Also because of the duration of your time out of Australia you might be required to take the medical exams again. But then again it might depend on the case officer.

Is it? if that is the case i have to think twice to take holiday. Thanks for your advice pReSSuRe.

Also it is beneficial to get your overseas police check when you are returning to Oz ...

Google is your friend.

DIAC aim to allocate 887 applications within four weeks. I'd be bloody surprised if your application was finalised in four weeks though.

Don't bump posts please.

Planning to lodge my 887 application next week.

Marriage certificate
Employer letter, One payslip for each month (Employment proof)

Lease agreement, Rego certificate, TFN, ABN letters, Employer group certificates (resident proof)
Applied for AFP last week. Hopefully will get it next week.

Do I need to prepare any other document?

Thanks and regards

Hi I am new to forum. We have 475 visa and I have to clarify some questions for apply 887 visa. My wife is principle applicant in 475 visa and I am secondary applicant . Still my wife couldn’t find a job. I already worked as a full time worker during last year and now I am working as a Business Integration developer at University of southern Queensland. When we applying 475 I did IELTS and got 5.5 each band. I also got my skill assessment. But now its older than 2 years . My Question is can I apply 887 visa as a primary applicant. Do I need to do IELTS and Skill assessment for get PR?

Hi Buddhika, Even I am interested to know the answer as my sister-in-law's family may face your kind of a situation. I searched on Immi website, it does not say anything about it, But I had heard that changing the primary application is possible but not sure about the requirements of the primary applicant in that case., Thinking to shoot an e-mail to Immi or walk in to the Adelaide Processing Centre which is close to us. will keep you informed if I know the answer.

I thought 475 was an employer sponsored visa so primary applicant must have job? If primary applicant doesn't have job, isn't visa invalid after period of time?

mrsgreenstar76

No, that's the 457. The 475 is a three year state or family sponsored provisional visa.

This completely wrong. Nick11 posted 19 jan 2010 following post.475 secondary applicant can become as a 887 primary applicant. But thing is need to know IELTS and Skill assessment want to provide to 887 visa. I got 5.5 for 475 visa is it enough or not.

Are you sure that IELTS and skills assessment is required in case of swapping the main applicant.

Thanks in advance for the answers. Cheers
IELTS or skills assessment is not needed if the secondary applicant on the 495 visa becomes the primary applicant on the 887 visa.
Hubby became the primary applicant on our 887 and hadn't had a skill assessment ever.
We got our 887 without any bother
