  1. Finally after almost 2 years we have been given our ceremony date. It's on Australia Day. I am so excited
  2. We are hoping that if we get the july one its before 18th and after 28th as we'll be in Bali then. If not then hopefully we can get the September one. Knowing our luck it will slap bang in the middle of our holiday! Our test date was whilst we were on the plane back from Port Douglas, couldn't get a new date so had to pay for an earlier flight! I want an invite to the Home Affairs Christmas party as I've more than contributed lol!, Good luck to you too
  3. Hi, We did our test at the same place as you on the 24th April. We were told to call Home Affairs after 6wks if we hadn't received our approval letter. Will be interesting to see how we both get on. We may get the same ceremony date
  4. Is anyone else seeing this when they log in? I know it says Citizenship applications are not affected and as far as I know we have provided everything, I just wondered if this was a standard message? Thanks
  5. There's very strong extenuating circumstances in our case and immigration are aware of these. Still waiting for a response from them and I'm hoping that no news is good news at this stage. They have completed a triage form on our behalf which gets sent to triage dept and they then pass it onto the relevant team. This highlights that it is urgent. I was just wondering if anyone knew of anyone who had had the initial entry date extended or whether they review and decline regardless. Although, I would like to think this process does mean there is a possibilty that an extension can be granted. Fingers crossed anyway. Cheers
  6. Hi, does anyone know of anyone getting an extension to the visa validation entry date, without going down another visa pathway? Thanks
  7. Hi all, I need to contact immi urgently about my mum.and dad's 143 visa (already granted) Is it Immi or the processing centre in Perth that I call and can anyone help me with the contact no please? TIA
  8. My parents just had a call from their agent and have finally received their visa So happy right now. ? I can't thank you enough for getting me through it. You are all marvellous and I wish you all the very best in this parent visa roller coaster! Cheers, Clare x
  9. Congratulations! My parents agent is UK based so if they are lucky to get the golden ticket today then they've yet to hear. Kind of hoping for tomorrow as it will be exactly 6yrs to the day since we got ours!
  10. Congratulations Zaki! Lets hope they don't take too long to grant the visa.
  11. My parents have also been asked to pay their 2nd VAC today and have been told their visa will be granted on 1st July! Finally. Hopefully there's more of these types of emails on the way for everyone else waiting. ?
  12. Fingers crossed Peter. All the very best to you and your family.
  13. Hi Peter, My parents haven’t heard a bean from their agent. It’s frustrating but at least they’re at the back end of this waiting game. So happy for you though, when is your mum joining you? Whereabouts in Aus are you based? Cheers, Clare
  14. I totally agree neither party cares, same in the UK. Doesn’t mean I can’t voice my opinion of them to them when I do become a citizen
  15. I’m looking forward to the day one of them knocks on my door canvassing for my vote. They won’t have a clue what’s hit them!
  16. Not me, I’m not a citizen...yet. That’s another queue that keeps on growing, despite us living here for the right amount of time that the criteria asked for when we applied. You are right, they seem to have an issue with all us immigrants. Why allow us in the country to then blame us when it things don’t add up, surely the blame lies with those who agreed to let us in in the first place. When I do get to vote though I will use my vote wisely. ?
  17. My frustration doesn't have anything to do with the issue that parent visas are costing the Government more money. My annoyance is based on the lack of communication to everyone who has paid the initial visa application fee based on the criteria that the Government set at the time of the application. For Immigration to continuously move the goal posts is disgusting. If the costs have risen dramatically then put the changes in place for those that have not yet applied and stop penalising those who have followed the criteria, regardless of Nationality or the number of people on the application form. I'm not great with politics but it's not rocket science to figure that older people might have to visit the doctor more frequently than a person much younger than them. This isn't a new thing so you can't tell me they have just come to that realisation. Jeez who are voting in these thick sh*ts!!
  18. Do you have a link as I would also like to send a message. Thank you.
  19. My parents, (along with others) were asked by Immi back in October last year to obtain medicals and police checks in preparation. I don't know anyone who has done them off their own backs and if they did then I wouldn't expect a refund. However, once they request you to do them, you do it as you are led to believe that once all is in place and they reach the assessing timeframe for your lodgement date then the request for the 2nd VAC would follow soon after. We're on 2 months and counting and not a word since. Very frustrating.
