Thanks Alan for keeping us up to date.

Not quite accurate - from September 2013 charges as follows: First VAC $2370 , additional applicant $1185 payable at time application is lodged Second VAC $48550 per person. payable just before visa is granted Charge were increased July and Sept 2013 AOS $14000 refunded after 10 years. We believe in full - unless you access benefits from Centre Link (benefits, housing allowance etc ) At the moment waiting time for grant of visa 143 is around 18 months. Hope this helps and good luck with your application.

Hi genie. Yes have a big glass of sherry. It must be so disappointing for you. We are 1 year behind you and hoped to be in Aus by Christmas 2014 but it looks unlikely. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for the long wait. You would think IMMI would like our money in their bank but it appears not. Hopefully you will know by Christmas Day that you have been granted your visa and then you can have two celebrations and two glasses of sherry. Best wishes and keeping fingerds crossed for you.

Thanks ASD excellent information we are about a year behind you so it gives us a rough idea when our visa will be granted . Thanks

Hi Arshad Download the Parent Migration Booklet 3 www.immi.gov.au you will find all the information you need also look at the Visa Wizard which provides basic information about which visa you would be eligible for www.immi.gov.au/visawizard/ Hope this helps

Hi Carob HAP is Health Assessment Portal it's your ID number you need to organise your medical . Supplied byDIAC. I believe since late 2012 all medicals in uk must be done electronically. It is supplied by your case officer so who knows when we will get it. I think immi have stopped answering the phone and replying to emails we have been waiting for a reply to an email for nearly 4 weeks.

We received our acknowledgement middle of September for a 143 visa application lodged June 14 this year .We have been instructed to arrange medicals 12 months after lodgement date which will be 14th June 2014 . On current trends you will not br assigned a case officer for possibly another 2 months !!! you could contact immi by phone or email and request a HAP number. Hope this helps good luck

Useful information thank you. We are 1 year behind you so it looks as if we have a very long wait. PLease keep us informed

Understanding the process for online health processing is quite confusing but we have come across a site that helps to clarify the process ( I think) http://WWW.immi.gov.au/allforms/health-requirements 'Arranging a Health Examination' Scroll down to The Australian Immigration Health Process for visa applicants click and you get a map of the Australian Immigration Health ......... Hope someone finds this useful

Hi Harris, Our timeline as follows for 143 visa application lodged June 14th 2013 Money taken out of the bank straight away Acknowledgement 13 weeks later included with the acknowledgement - info re Assurance of support, instructions to email Form 80 and action dates for police clearance and medicals Proposed dates for Medicals after June 2014 Police, Clearance after April 2014 - specific instructions to retain until requested by case officer. But seeing you don't get your medical assessment results as they are sent electronically to IMMI its a bit confusing. At least the dates give you a vague idea although it could still be months before you are allocated a case officer. Hope this helps

Hi carob - we started form 80 after we read your last post it's a bit of a pain but it is ready to go. So thanks for the advice cheers Ronnie
-
Congratulations Carob. Great News - the end date appears to be a bit earlier than has been suggested. Can't wait for the post - we should be a few days behind you. We live in hope.

sorry we opted for the permanent contributory visa 143

Hi.We considered both 143 and 173 cpv we researched both also contacted parents@gov.au who informed us "that the grant of temporary residence under parent visa 173 is by no means a guarantee that permanent residence under parent visa subclass 143 will be granted" I couldn't stand the stress of waiting two years to know whether we were permanent. Also your medicals are two years from applying for your visa which could provide more stress. We opted for the 173 as the best option. Hope this helps you to make a decision.

Thanks for the info - things becoming clearer

Hi again Can anyone tell me how long you wait for an acknowledgement of your visa application.
-
Hi can anyone explain the benefits of applying for a Contributory Aged parent visa rather than a Contributory Parent visa. I know for the aged PV you have to apply from Aus - but how can you stay in aus if the tourist visa is inappropriate ? They both cost the same so not sure which is the best. Can you access medicare whilst you are waiting for your visa to be granted.

We have just applied for the Contributory Parent Visa subclass 143 the cost is 1st instalment $2,060 second instalment $42,220 for each applicant. When 2nd instalment is due (about 1 - 2 years after paying first instalmen). You have to pay you assurance of support $10,000 for a single applicant or $14.000 for 2 applicants. Expensive ? but it will be worth it!
