No real reason - just the leg from Doha to Melbourne was no longer confirmed. Maybe they overbooked at beginning of December expecting more seats to be available by end of April. We were booked business class for that reason plus the extra luggage allowance. What was disappointing was they haven't even offered us an alternative - just said we could have our money back!
People from the UK are now not allowed to transit through Changi airport to believe, so maybe Doha have done the same?

Have you decided what to do about your flight? Have you still got the option of the Sydney flight? It’s just that I saw on another site someone due to fly on the 15th of April with Qatar that had flight cancelled today with the offer of business class flight to Perth as only option as replacement!!
They were told there’s nothing else available. They were a family of 5 so more difficult to accommodate. I not sure how you are feeling but my stress levels would be through the roof if I was you .

Great news Kath. We also got ours granted today. It has been a great effort by everyone who helped get this concession but we could not have done it without the help and support of Julian Hill MP. He has been awesome! Now we can enjoy staying in this wonderfull country with our families. Good luck and best wishes to everyone who is still waiting.
Very true. Julian was amazing. Best wishes !

Not sure how to get their attention, I feel like they have just stopped asking for 2nd vac. Been in fb group. Heard no one getting 2nd vac in Feb month.
Sadly with the numbers being so low they may have used up all the places

Would 3 emails in a month be too much? Do not want to annoy the case officer.
Definitely not
-
@143mag just keep emailing, they will be busier doing some onshore visa grants mid March so get in quick with the emails
-
@143mag yes I know how you feel, we all do. Sadly they probably won’t contact until they are ready to ask for 2nd vac. They will then let you know about new checks etc. Keep holding on! You ARE nearly there!

Just stumbled upon this page, after searching for help. We are March end 2016 application for 143 visa. Applicants are offshore, did AOS back in March 2020. Additional docs requested supplied mid 2020. But since then we did not hear back anything. Getting no reply from PVC. Is someone in similar boat? Our docs about to expire. Bit unfair for us to have to pay everything all over again.
I was mid March 16. I supplied all info by end of Feb 20 beg Mar 20. 2nd vac request Nov 20.paid 2nd vac mid Jan 21
I’m onshore and as we now have the concession of not having to fly out to activate they have extended police check by 3 mths and medical by 6mths.
I would email again about 5-6 weeks before checks expire asking if you need new HAP ID for medical. You use the same number I believe but it might get you a reply!! Maybe when they have granted our visas which is supposed to be from 24 Mar they will know how many places are left for this financial year.(they probably already know!)It might move a bit then
Good luck!

Just seen this. It’s not just about forcing parents to leave Australian to get their grants - it’s far broader and encompasses the whole system and its delays. Worth a read and maybe a submission !!
Was about to post his also. It does mention enquiry into long delays. The Greens are also lobbying for this! Even if they only increase the numbers each year from this, it will be a start!
