From your Parents' point of view I still think you did the right thing by frontloading because it will save time in the end. The basic idea is still to get one's Parents in to Oz asap, after all.
I know an elderly couple who can't apply for their CPVs yet but it will be a huge wieght off their minds to know that the processing will be reasonably fast track once they can eventually apply.
I'm bursting with pleasure this morning, so I will stop gabbling and shut up!

Hey Gill
I totally agree that we did the right thing by front-loading - at least it's one more thing out of the way, and it kept the folks busy during that uncertain time - at least they felt they were doing something to help move things along. And with two new Aussie grandchildren on the horizon this year, I don't think the reduced validation time will be an issue - they won't mind a bit heading over for a nice long holiday while waiting for the house to sell.
I'd kind of figured out too that the CO's seem to be concentrating on getting the big payments from earlier applicants, hence the slip in the allocation timescales. Not a problem though - just a relief that they'll have that magic visa sometime this year. I'll certainly let everyone know when they get a CO, although as you say, Jean is a couple of weeks ahead of us.
