24 months after lodging mum and dads visa has been granted :wink:

Good luck to everyone still in the waiting room, just like a pint of Guiness good things come to those who wait.

All the best.

23 months after lodgement, case officer finally assigned :cool:

Immi showing 29 Jan this afternoon (Sydney time)

Thats great news, my mum and dads application is Jan 30th :wink:

Hi,

I'm struggling to understand the assessing queue. Reading previous posts it seems some applications are being processed before applications that were lodged earlier. Is this dependent on the type of visa, does the 173 have a longer wait?

Thanks

Hi all, glad to see my parents are not alone in their quest to reach Oz. Not sure the word frustrating some's it all up really, my dad used to have a full head of hair before the application was lodged. They applied for the 173 in Jan 14 which was acknowledged in July 14, we have also gone through an agent. We haven't heard anything since but are hoping to soon. Good luck to all

Hi,

Hoping someone can clarify the following for me.

My parents have used a migration agent for there 173 visa and are currently in month 14. The agent has recommended not to send the police checks and medicals before a CO is allocated.

Reading previous posts, am I right in saying majority of people have actually sent those in early?

Does it speed up the process or is better to wait for a CO.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Ive recently moved to sydney and im looking at maybe going into this trade. Ive always wanted to get into a trade and im at the stage where i want to get into something new. Im 30 years old and thinking which is the best way to get into it, would it be an apprenticeship.

Any advice would help.

Thanks.
