Bear2015

Nothing at all yet from immigration.  We originally received an email on 19th December with the request for more information.  We were given 70 days to reply but if this involved using a 3rd party the 70 days could be extended if you provided evidence that you have requested information from a 3rd party.  In our case extension wasn't necessary as the Police Certificates and Medicals were all carried out within a few weeks of when we arranged them.  We posted all requested information on 23rd January and received email confirmation of receipt from immigration on 5th February.  Now the waiting goes on!!   I have read some speculation that July 2015 applicants may hear nothing else until after the end of the OZ tax year on the basis that perhaps the 2018/2019 cap has been reached.   This may be correct but I believe in the past few years immigration has only granted about 6,000 placed out of the 7,100 cap  If this were the case then we still have some hope of hearing something before end June.   Would be good to know how many parental visas had been granted at any given point in time in the financial year!    

Add me on the list of 2015
