On another note.....bringing our things into Aus...was not only costly but the things they charge you for and dont do !!!! They said we needed to get our vehicle cleaned and another item...even though we spent 2 days in the UK cleaning them, we were told not to bother cleaning because they always say they want cleaning again anyway....so we waited until they were "cleaned" and then was told it had taken them 10 hours to clean said items......so charged us accordingly...now i know why we couldnt be there at the time of unloading, no way did they even clean the vehicle as i noticed under the wheel arch (once they had finished their clean) there was still some soil....so they really dont care that much about their country!! Just the $1500.00!! Also as we pulled up we saw they were moving our stuff into the warehouse and dropped something off the forklift and ran over it!! There was everyone elses stuff mixed up with ours...not very well run at all. JUST TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT.

Hi there, So yes we waited ages for our conversion too...was a nightmare, was asked to do the form 80 again adding the things from between the 173 and the 143...... luckily no new medical was asked for. Tab

well this is my reply from immi....it used to take a few months from 173-143....NOW ITS A YEAR !!!! We are currently assessing applications lodged in mid October 2016. We anticipate that your application will be allocated for assessment in about one months’ time.

Oooh id like to know this too...i just had a quick look at the possibility of a 600 visa and wondered if there is an option for 3,6 or 12 months?? (the stays are 3,6,12 at any one time but valid for 12 months) Id like to know more about the 12 month max stay on each arrival? As the travel agent said if i want to do a return flight say in 7 months time but only have a visa for 3 months then i would need to show ongoing travel plans to say NZ for a week ish then come back to Aus for another 3 months.... I was doing a return flight as its the same price as one way !

Oh i see ha ha, yes we are going to Brisbane area, just outside of the gold coast really we just love it there not too close to the madness but a little quieter place so if we want to go into the gold coast its not too far. Have you been to the sunshine coast? it is nice up there.

Hi, Yes we went to Aus to validate the 173 visa. Then we had two years to apply for the 143 visa but we decided to do it a bit early incase there was a price rise. The reason we have taken our time? my husband took a bit longer to convince to the move lol. My son is in the UK and has a son so this will be my second grandchild but 1st from my daughter ..sorry !! Where abouts are you going in Aus?
-
No no...our decision though. We just didnt realise once we had decided when we wanted to go that it would be a snails pace to get there lol. We still have lots to sort anyway..just want that email saying we can go when we want and work. Our only daughter is having her first baby in Feb so really want to be there for that, my email from immi said they should complete it for us by Dec (i asked for Dec) as long as centrelink sort it, they are taking 3 months at the mo. How about you where are you in the grand scheme of things??

-
Ha ha....fantastic news. Our journey began June 2013...we went for the 173 and then Nov 2016 the 143 still waiting to hear !!! im at the decluttering stage and then ill be at the dedecluttering stage until we have minimised the things we are def taking. good luck with it all.

Im so sorry for the late reply.... so i sent an email to IMMI asking about the temp to perm parent visa, that the date on the auto reply email hasnt changed for months and they replied that they planning an assessment blitz of T-P applications soon and that the AOS process with Centerlink is taking around 3 months. Not that they are doing ALL 143 visas or ALL 173 visas. Just about the temp to perm visas.
