  1. Am currently waiting to be booted out onto an unnecessary flight and a waste of hotel,quarantine place all for my visa to come through within minutes of passing through border force in Oz! Julian Hill MP is trying with a private members bill to try to change this rule temporarily for us
  2. Are you just transiting through Singapore or staying over? Did you have to fill in an air travel pass for Singapore ? thanks
  3. NZ Not yet open to Oz, but they announced they will allow flights from March hopefully!
  4. Yes you can as long as 143 is already applied for first. sending you a message re the other problem !
  5. Hopefully they will have relatives abroad. NZ for 3 months wouldnt be too bad it’s just the cost, as with everything else to do with this visa.
  6. It would be worth the 5yr one and at least you can then do another 5 - dreadful thought I know Good luck
  7. @Ollie1234 I have mentioned to Julian Hill MP about these processing times and also the cut in numbers down to 4500. He said he will look into it. Also Senator McKim did quiz them on processing times a couple of years ago when I emailed him So those are the 2 worth contacting on this.
  8. Would you consider the 870 temp parent visa. I would have gone for that had it been around for me
  9. Wholeheartedly agree. What about the poor lady who had one lung and gp said if she catches COVID she will most likely die. Thankfully after an MP intervened and she can stay until it is safe to fly. That’s all we are asking for. The partners category have been given this TEMPORARY concession to stay onshore. We are simply asking the same. Partners can come and go but are classed as immediate family?? A parent is NOT classed as immediate family!! Therefore not wasting a flight and quarantine place with 36000 Aussies still awaiting return, is just plain common sense ! Grants are issued within minutes of passing through border force! Like I say we just want a temporary reprieve like others are being granted ! And no I don’t fancy paying nearly $9k, risk COVID , risk being stranded away from my family because many many flights being bumped.
  10. Maybe some just pay and don’t query it and just follow their “rules” they have offered some 6mths extension on medical and 3mths on police check. You have to ask if they don’t offer I presume
  11. Let’s us know how you get saying to them Feb departure for instance. Thanks
  12. You need to apply for Air travel pass on the Singapore gov website a couple of weeks before landing, maybe see if you can apply for one of those to allow entry?? I’ve looked at it but not gone through all the form .
  13. Thanks. Yep none of us who have written to Tudge have had a reply. Dutton is worse I’m afraid. Will just have to hope Julian Hill MP goes ahead with a private members bill for us
  14. If this doesn’t work for this poor lady and the rest of us, I’m not sure what will!! IMG_5764.MOV
  15. I really like McGowan but not sure he could help. If he does respond let me know and I will also write. There is a petition on APH asking for parents to be included, think this is from travel /visitor restrictions. It has been submitted with over 11000 signatures, awaiting a response from APH
  16. You have to declare you haven’t been to U.K. for 12 mths. they just want another Oz police check
  17. I know of someone who has been told they would be prepared to extend medical by 6mths and police checks by 3mths, so I will ask for this if I need to in Feb
  18. you would to read up those places. If you land in Perth as an international arrival , you have to do 2 weeks quarantine there then fly to Sydney
  19. @KathyN has just been to Singapore briefly. Perhaps she can help?.
  20. Please sign to allow 143 to stay onshore for visa http://chng.it/bYL5rRHFnJ
  21. I know have just seen it. brilliant he’s the one we are speaking with on this.
  22. If you go onto Julian Hill MP Facebook page he as just spoke up in parliament for us! Our hero MP at work for us!!
  23. I hope so... there is threatening undertones lately of not issuing visas to us if we don’t comply with going offshore very soon
