Surfers, wonderful news and thank you for posting. Sorry I can’t answer any of your questions,but I would also be interested in the answers as I’m sure a lot of other people waiting in the queue are as well.

So sorry to see your timeline taking 8 months already from when you were first asked for more documents, something must be done about AOS as it really is taking far too long. Fingers crossed you don’t have to wait much longer.

I think all of us in the queue were expecting to be there in the timescale quoted when we applied but due to ( I think it was a 40%) increase in applications in May/June 2014, the waiting time has got longer and longer. If you look at peoples timelines you will see applications from June 2015 are being processed at the moment, your applications is 3 years after theirs. Hopefully the temporary 5 year visa will be passed next year and possibly this could allow you to be there sooner. Nothing worth having comes easy so be prepared for a long wait but people that been granted their visas say it was all worth it. We are hoping to be there about this time next year!!!

Great news... every day makes a difference.

Yes Alan that is exactly the sort of feedback we need. Some sort of queuing system that lets us know how many people are in front of us.
-
Put like that it sounds very depressing!!! It would be so nice to know how many applications were lodged each month, eg. if there were 2000 in June 2015 but only 800 in July we would expect a long processing for June applicants and July applicants would be processed quicker. It’s the not knowing how many are in front of you that’s the killer. Shelagh

If you go back to pages 702 to 703 you will be able to read all about this. Catlady is correct in what she has told you and knows better than the rest of us in the queue as she has gone through this process herself.

I would also like to know what AFP is??? It would be nice if everyone added their time line and then it would be easier to follow progress.

Hi M, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your first experiences of your new life. You know that most of us on this site love reading success stories as it’s what keeps us going and staying positive that we have made the right decision to move to the other side of the world in the later years of our lives. We are heading to Adelaide if we ever get this elusive visa granted..... we never thought we would still be waiting but it looks like it could be this time next year before we can start our new life with the family. Please keep posting and letting us know your progress... it's great to read happy stories. Shelagh

When did you apply for your visa? The more I read about the AOS process the more I dread it. Just when you think your nearly there you have more stress heaped on you.

Congratulations !!! A long process but now light at the end of the tunnel .

Hi Micheal, We submitted our on the 8th December 2015 and are hoping for May 2019 for the Visa!!! But who knows!

Congratulations.....???

Hi Qflyer... if you go down the root of an agent it really doesn’t matter where they are based as most communication is done via email and phone. For your own peace of mind I would suggest all communication with the agent go via yourself .... otherwise you won’t know what’s been asked and answered. Regards your Dads health I have no idea what medical things have an impact on the health check... Sorry.. I wish him a speedy recovery. Best of luck. Shelagh

I would still think you could have your visa by the end of this year. It would be nice to have some clarity on the time scales being quoted. Also how many applications are in front of us.... each month is different, there could be lots of applications during May and June just Incase the fees went up for the new financial year and then a drop off for a few months when they didn’t go up. I know we all are waiting much longer than the time schedule expected and it’s very stressful. We are also getting older and may not pass the medical by the time our applications come to the top of the list so you don’t want to sell up just in case. If they can produce a queue for the 103visa why can’t they provide one for the other parent visas. Make life a lot easier for us.
-
I think this is the time scale up to the 31st July .. not for future visas that have not been issued yet. Could be wrong!!
-
What part of Spain are you returning to? We live in the Costa Blanca area and are heading for Adelaide hopefully!!!
-
I agree whole heartedly. The 143 visa is for parents, there a few enough 143 visas and someone of 27 years old is not a child so should be applying for a different visa. This loophole definitely needs to be closed. This may sound hard but unless the person is mentally or physically disabled I can’t see why they are entitled to a Parent Visa.
-
Thanks Bridgie for taking the time to share that info... if it wasn’t for people like you sharing your experience we wouldn’t know what was available, as trying to get information out of the power that be is not easy. I notice from your time line we are only a month apart ... hopefully get our visas the first half of 2019. Cheers. Shelagh

You missed us as well....lodged 8.12.15. Hopefully still visas left when it comes to December!!!!
