    @LindaH27 The good thing is we have completed everything including the AOS & paying for it. Let's see what happens next.

    Does anyone know what this means. We got this today. Ours is a 2nd june 2016 application and we have done everything except pay the second VAC. Currently offshore.

    I am hoping for the same. They should start rolling them out in the next couple of weeks. I am sure they have thier formats etc ready. The first to hear will be applicants who have already paid the second VAC and are onshore. I guess that backlog should and will be cleared out before touching the other applications. Just my guess and common sense if they apply it.

    I just think that they may hold off for a bit for onshore applicants until the exception for the parents to stay onshore is formally released this quarter. This will prevent them from doing a double job of sending our two different letters. I may be wrong but just my thoughts.

    @Kathss56 I agree with you. The first letter maybe a standard generated message. It's only when you ask, then can the case officer step outside the box and choose to help or otherwise.

    @KittyMB Not really sure. I have seen cases where they have asked for an itinerary in a weeks time and then travel out in 28 days. That's a bit tough to do in these times.

    It's funny how there is a bit of discrepency in some being given 3 months vs some being given 28 days to leave the country to activate the 143 visa. I wonder how and what drives this decision making on the case officers side. In some cases the 3 months is given without requesing . Whilst in some you have to ask for it. In the current scenario it should be 3 months for all by default. That's the least that they can do.

    @Kathss56 They now seem to be giving everyone 3 months to leave. That wasn't the case earlier I belive. It seems like the department/Minister is only buying time until they have something concrete rolled out about parents not having to leave AUS to activate the visa. That's just my take on the situation and what it seems like.

    @Kathss56 Here's the response from Julian Hill. Thanks for your email It's not possible procedurally to include it in this Bill, however that's the next issue I'm looking at this week. Kind regards Julian

    @Kathss56 Yes, I have written to him. Hope he can really take this up and get this done for all parents. Fingers crossed.

    @Kathss56 This feels like an absolute kick in the guts. Why on earth would they be so blatantly discriminaotry? It's shocking. Like as if to say parents are like S*** and don't really matter. If anyone it is the parents who are most vulnerable in the current COVID situation.

    @KathyN wohooo that's excellent !!! Have a safe flight and safe returns.
  13. cfernandes
    @Kathss56 Makes sense. I am just writing up a quick email and will send it today.
  14. cfernandes
    @Kathss56 I sure will write to him. But was jus wondering if he would take my email into consideration due to the fact that we are still waiting for the second VAC payment?
  15. cfernandes
    @KathyN All of this is perhaps overwhelming. My Mrs and I are looking forward to my in-laws receiving their PR but so much drama and stress with having to send them back overseas. It just take away from the joy I hope you managed to get the Air Travel Pass. All the very best !
  16. cfernandes
    @KathyNAll the very best with this. I can imagine the stress levels going through all of this hassle. But sooner than latet I think my in-laws too will have to go through this. They too will be onshore when we get the intimation to pay the 2nd VAC.
  17. cfernandes
    @LBee Nothing as yet. Mine is a 2nd June 2016 application. All the paperwork is done and just waiting for the 2nd VAC request.
  18. cfernandes
    @Samvaz99 Thanks for sharing.
  19. cfernandes
    Congratulations!! All the very best. Would you also please share your timeline. Exciting to see someone get the visa. @Samvaz99
  20. cfernandes
    @Neil I will have to find out the exact steps and let you know. I had red this on another forum.
  21. cfernandes
    Congratulations @Niel All the very best. They say using the BPAY optoin is the best way to make this payment. Also would you please share your timeline as a reference for the group. Thanks and all the best

    Congratulations and all the very best !!

    @gagan1991 If you have a mygov account there will be a letter sent in there confirming that the AOS has been accepted. But if you normally receive correspondence in snail mail then you should receive a hard copy.
  24. cfernandes
    Received confirmation of the AOS acceptance. Joining all the rest of the folks in the waiting room for the second VAC payment request. GOD speed to all of us ! Hopefully the COVID-19 vaccine is found soon !
  25. cfernandes
    Excellent. That's good to know. You should post the timeline in your profile if possible. It's been slow but hopefully things change soon. All the best
