Thanks Fran! appreciate your response and good on you it went all smooth. As for the 1st install payment when you lodged, did they receipt you right away?

Thanks Val! I just saw the 'breaking news" advisory, and it says: TEMPORARY TO PERMANENT (subclass 173 - 143 and 884 - 864) We are currently assessing for finalization applications lodged on 21 January 2015. so it seems the timelines would be 6 to 7 months too. I thought it would take years.. Thanks for your inputs.. will keep you all posted

Hi All, i have been randomly inquiring in this forum to get some feedback on the timelines for 173 holder applying for a 143. I seem not to get any responses yet or maybe i have missed replies. If anyone of you has undergone this, can you shed light on the matter? Really appreciate it. Ginny

Hi Bluray, how did you go with this? We seem to have the same scenario. Hope to hear from you. Ta Ginny

hi all! its been 2 years since i have logged in here. hope all of you are doing well. can anyone assist to advise - how long do you get a CO if you are a 173 holder lodging for 143? is it the same 1 year or more wait?
-
sorry I was referring to cpv143/173
-
hi lou, you should inform your CO about your parents' plans, current whereabouts. By right, parents have to be offshore when the visa is about to be granted..
-
Btw, which amount of 2nd vac charges are followed? is it the current year or the published fees of the date of acknowledgement?
-
yes getting there. praying i reach the finish line
-
btw ZephynAndy, i see your footnotes below saying that you have your 'visa granted=16/05'...wow congrats!
-
Thanks ZephynAndy!
-
hi, just a quick question. for the cpv 2nd vac, how many days are you usually given to have it in?

So speaking of backlog In ref to: http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/family/parent-visa-processing-priorities.htm it says “….In the 2012–13 Migration Program year, 6575 Contributory Parent visa places are available for applicants applying from in and outside Australia.” Considering – “If we add to the existing pendency the number of applications received from July 2012 to June 2013 then the average waiting time would not be less than 24 months…” Assuming that there were a number of received applications that more or less fit into the given visa places… So would that translate to - if there is a 2012 backlog of 12000 + current fiscal year alloc 6575 / 545 = 34 months wait (almost 3 years)? This is too pessimistic, I may be analysing it wrongly..

Hi Rob, You mentioned your child is 6 years old… And for that you might like to check- sponsorship eligibility: http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/family/parent/143/eligibility-sponsor.htm Usually settled criteria: http://www.immi.gov.au/media/fact-sheets/31parents.htm Balance of family criteria: http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/family/balance-family.htm are among the initial things to consider.. other pio parents / expert migration agents here may have other helpful inputs on this too, should I miss out any.. good luck

oh and yes... thanks for adding Linday it says: Note: Step-children are only counted if they are: • a child of the applicant’s current partner; or • under 18 years of age and a child of a former partner of the applicant, or a former partner of the applicant’s current partner, and the applicant or the applicant’s partner has a legal responsibility to look after the child. (page 24)

Hi, Refer to: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/booklets/1129.pdf Go to page 24,25,26 In pg.24, it says: Which children are counted? The following children are counted in the BoF test: • children of both parents, including children of previous marriages or de facto relationships of either parent, including adopted and step-children, and children in institutions; • children of both parents, whether they are dependent or self-supporting, single, married or divorced; and • children whose whereabouts are unknown, or cannot be verified, are counted as being in their parents’ country of usual residence.

Enjoy your vacation Holidaykev! Anyway just a train of thought to everyone… So, if they’re doing Oct 2011 cpv's, and they’re saying it’s taking 18 months, counting Oct 2011 to now isn't 18 months but only 14 months. So by saying its really taking up to 18 months, should that mean that there are applications from way back May-June 2011 which are untouched and un-assessed? So it doesn't follow the order of lodgement date? My ack.date is way prior to Oct 2011, so not sure whats happening.
-
Thanks for the guidance. Let you all know the outcome once I do. And oh btw, just to have an idea..what sort of medical tests do they want you to go through. So commonly that’s urine, ultrasounds? xray, blood, and what else? Do they check sugars, cholesterol? How in depth does it go?
-
yeah. thinking of sending an email by Nov...by then im officially 17 mos waiting. Thanks for the reply btw. goodluck to us.
-
Hi all...hope everyone's having a good day. Need your advise - I applied for cpv. For what I know, you may expect a co after 14 months. For my situation, its already near November now, and 17 months have passed (from my ack date) still no word from them. Your suggestions valued. I’m not sure if its right that I just wait. Thanks,Gin :em3900:
