Thanks - yep good call. Cheers

Thanks for the support. Marisawright is quite insensitive and cruel.

Hi, thanks so much for the advice. Would we also need to include a supporting letter of any kind, or should the completed form 1005 suffice in this scenario? Thank you

I don't appreciate the unnecessary comment about being foolish. Thanks for the constructive advice afterwards.

Hi there I was looking for some feedback please. We lodged an application for Aged Parent (subclass 804) visa for our parents in 2018, where they were automatically granted a Bridging visa A. However, they left the country which resulted in the cancellation of their Bridging visa A. They are now in the position and ready to move here permanently whilst the subclass 804 visa is being processed(once borders open). However we are unsure whether the Bridging visa A can be reinstated? Has anyone ever been in this situation and if so, when your parents decided to return, how easy was it to restore their Bridging visa A so they could live here legally? What steps did you have to take to reinstate the Bridging visa A and were there any additional forms you had to complete? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply on this. I really appreciate it.

Hi, I'm hoping somebody can please help. My parents applied for an 804 parent visa back in 2018. They subsequently left the country and went back to the UK. Their bridging visa expired immediately once they left and they now want to move here permanently once the border situation improves. We've been advised they will need to enter the country with an evisitor visa and then once onshore, apply for a bridging visa A using form 1005. Is this the correct approach please? Are there any risks associated with this because they want to sell their UK property before arriving in Australia? Thank you. Mez

Hi, my parents applied for a 143 contributory parent visa (offshore) at the end of 2015. We didn't expect the visa processing to take so long but it looks like processing won't start until the end of next year Is there some sort of bridging visa my parents can get so they can come over and live here whilst waiting for the permanent visa to be processed? I hope someone knows the answer. They are missing their grandkids so much. Thanks in advance. Mez

Hi, my parents recently applied for a 143 parent contributory visa. Does anybody know if there is a website to check the current processing queue? Thanks, Mez

Hi, my parents are currently applying for a 143 offshore Contributory parent visa. They are unsure who to make the Visa application charge payable to. They will be paying by cheque. Please can somebody advise? Thanks in advance, Mehul

Hi, we were granted our permanent visa in August and are planning to move to WA in May 2014. After reading the driving legally laws in WA, i'm a little confused/worried. It says that you can drive legally for up to 3 months after your permanent visa being granted. Obviously by the time we make the move, the 3 months will be long gone. Does this mean I won't be able to drive when we arrive in May 2014? :confused: Any help appreciated. Thanks

Hi, we got a quote from PSS removals recently and they will provide all the boxes/packaging materials. They will bring them over on the day of the move and pack everything for us. I believe they empty any boxes u have prepacked and use their own. I guess that's how they all operate. Hope that helps.

Hi, I was in category 5 and was moved up to category 4 after the successful new skills assessment. Thanks

Hi, many thanks for your responses. We're currently wading through the websites you've suggested :jiggy:

Hi, we recently were granted our 175 visa and are now planning on our big move. We are moving to Western Australia and plan to be over in May 2014. Please can somebody advise on the best websites to use to find short term furnished rental properties. We're looking to rent for around 6-8 weeks in the Mullaloo/Joondalup (or surrounding) areas. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Mehul
