  4. Hey piramida Im really sorry to hear your news, all i can say that, your situation is very rare and you should consult a registered migration agent.

  14. The link supplied by ALAN above provides the official notification on the reopening of certain classes of Parent and Family visa classes. For those interested in applying, please note that only 1500 places have been allocated to Non-Contributory Parent visas, and 500 places to Other Family visas, for the full period 01 July 2014 - 30 June 2015. Based on this, the authorities have estimated the current waiting times for such visas as being: "Non-Contributory Parent visa – approximately 30 years Carer visa – approximately 4.5 years Remaining Relative and Aged Dependent Relative – approximately 56 years. And here's the question.....to qualify for an Aged Dependent Relative visa, you need to be 65 years old. If you have to wait 56 years to get one, does this mean you need to live as long as some chinese woman lol, or should you start applying for one when you turn 9 years old?
  15. "Further Update: Senator Hanson-Young's disallowance motion against the Migration Amendment which ceased a range of visas including the non-contributory parent, aged dependent, carer and last remaining relative was successful. Therefore, these visas can now be lodged again. There will likely be further information on this later today or tomorrow." All being well, there should now be a 6-month window in which to file new applications under the previously closed Parent Visa classes listed above.

  17. hey cass Perth immi are currently processing march 2013 applications. It is currently taking 2 months to process 1 month applications, so i guess your case officer will be allocated around feb 2015. A friend of mine applied on 22 feb,2013 and his visa is granted
  18. NEWS FLASH! The validity of the legislative Instrument by which 103 Non-Contributory Parent visas and 804 Aged Parent visas were closed to new applicants on 02 June 2014, is being challenged in the Senate of the Australian Federal Parliament by Senator Hanson-Young of the Green Party. This is scheduled to be debated on Wednesday 24th of September, and there is some possibility that this "Disallowance Motion" will be successful. If so, the Instrument preventing the lodgement of applications under subclasses 103 and 804 will be void, and the door opened for new applications under these two visa subclasses, although possibly for a limited period only, and until such time as the Government finds another way of closing it down. For those Parents who would ordinarily qualify for 103 and 804 visas, but are now having to consider going the Contributory Parent visa route, this could mean a final opportunity to apply under these two sub-classes, as well as a huge potential savings! You should therefore watch these developments closely, and if the Motion is successful, IMMEDIATELY lodge your visa application. For the rest of us in the 143/173 Contributory Parent Visa queue, a successful Motion will unfortunately put even more strain on the already stretched resources at the Parent Visa Centre, and may result in processing times being delayed even further.
  19. PROCESSING UPDATE - as at 22 September 2014 Not good news! The WA Parent Visa Centre has advised today that its current processing date for both sub-classes (143 & 173) of Contributory Parent visas is now 28 February 2013 This means that there has been very little progress since my last update on 04 September, and points to the official processing delay having moved out beyond 19 months. Based on this pattern, it is now taking almost two months to process one month's worth of applications. Should this slow rate of processing be due to numbers of applications on file, rather than other causes such as staff shortages due to illness, those of us in the waiting room can anticipate even more delays, possibly moving out to 21 months. On the other hand, if February 2013 was a particularly unusual month for the volume of applications, we may yet come back on track. Heads up, and stay positive - orphan (saaustralia)
