Hi Kim, we know that feeling, but we have decided that whatever will be will be, so if we are in Perth in May, June or July dare I say August, so be it, the important bit to us, is to be there! Easy to say, proving harder to do, still getting up at silly hours checking emails, although we don't expect anything till end of April after reading through this thread, and our answer back from our MA yesterday!

Hi all this is the reply from my MA, no further forward just try to keep the stress levels down, we are doing this by 3 day travels abroad, so far, Canada (was a week) Berlin, Brussels, Rotterdam, Rome, Venice, Prague & Cardiff since Xmas! Hi Alan and Karen, When we hear from the Parent Visa Centre (PVC) they will request that you attend your medicals (this is when they advise your HAP ID numbers), apply for Police Clearance Certificates and arrange your AOS. The current processing times are as follows: OFFSHORE APPLICANTS (subclass 143/173) In the 2015-16 Migration Programme year, 7 175 Contributory Parent visa places are available for applicants applying from in and outside Australia. Once your application is allocated to a case officer you or your authorised contact will be contacted and asked to provide more documents including police certificates and health clearances to complete your application. Please do not send documents until you are requested to do so. We are currently assessing for finalization applications lodged up to 1 April 2014. (no change from last week) Some clients will have previously been requested to commence medical examinations and police clearances by a specified date and are concerned that these may now become invalid. Once your application is allocated to a case officer documents may be requested to consider the application further. This may include a request to provide medical examinations and police clearances obtained following lodgement of the application. A case officer will assess the suitability of information including the validity of health and character clearances and contact will be made with the applicant or their authorised representative if further information is required. In some instances applicants may be asked to provide updated information. This will be assessed by a case officer and an applicant notified if this requirement applies to them. Thank you for your patience in this matter. We are waiting for a client who lodged their application on the 9th April 2014 to be processed, so we are finding these processing times are pretty accurate. It is difficult to given an exact time scale as things have moved fairly slowly with regard to processing applications, but rest assured as soon as we hear from the PVC we will contact you straight away.

All good stuff, just sent email to MA asking about both HAP and AOS, I will share the reply, if it helps. Alan

Hi Kim, not that they have informed us, when should we have been given a HAP no, we have been told once the case officer has been allocated we get these, I have chased up MA regards AOS....Thanks for the reply, Alan

Hi Julie, We have done police checks, but informed by our MA that we have to wait to get medicals done after being allocated a case officer. Thanks Alan

Evening all, We lodged our 143 Parent Visa with an acknowledgement date of 30th May 2014. We were initially led to believe the process would take 18 -24 months, from start to arriving in Oz. However, we are still awaiting a case officer to be allocated, which, given we had hoped to be in Perth around Jan/Feb, is beginning to wear us both down. Can anyone who has completed the process, give a rough indiction of how quick the process could go, once a case officer is allocated please? For the last couple of weeks, we are only getting a message saying they are working 1st April cases.

Thanks Carob, we appreciate you taking the time to reply. Can I ask what HAP numbers are? And also what you had for lunch! :wink:

Hi, good luck with your 143 visa, we have just lodged ours, can I ask what the medicals actually consist of please?
-
Your welcome, good luck to you too.

We have just had confirmation that our 143 initial payment has been taken by the Australian Governemnt, but with the tax receipt the following message was included. "The accompanying email advises: "Due to the high volume of applications received, we are currently taking approximately 4 months to register an application and send the acknowledgement letter. The formal acknowledgement of the application will be sent as soon as possible. As applications are considered based on the lodgement date, the delay in registering the application will not affect the processing time for a decision on the application."
