Congratulations Mango Tango - has anyone on a 143 Visa got request for 2ndvac/or Visa since March?

@Bigtrev when did you apply for your 143 visa - we have paid AOS etc and just waiting re 2nd Vac

Slimz - you shouldn't be sad or depressed - you have achieved much in your life - a bachelors degree and doing another one 

For me as a parent, I find having my three children all independent is my achievement. My husband and I have brought them up to believe in themselves, and always there for support when things don't go as planned.  Children have to make their own life, yes its nice to near family, but not always achievable for many reasons.  A lot may happen in the next couple of years.  One things for sure Parents will not be there for ever, and knowing your child can look after themselves is in my opinion a great achievement.

Wow - you are on your second Bachelor Degree - how lucky you are to have parents to support you through your extended education.  

I am however surprised that you would still want to be dependent on your parents at Visa grant (potentially 2+ years away).  You are clearly very intelligent, I cannot imagine that you would not be able to get a Visa in your own right, rather than still wanting to be dependent on your parents when you will be 25+, based on it is taking approximately 4 years to Visa grant, and this could be increased due to Covid-19.

However, that is my opinion as a parent, I am not a migration agent and I do not know your circumstances.

Can I assume that you are onshore in Australia that you believe this a good idea!

Changing laws is not a quick process, and why would the government make certain visa holders/applicants in Australia more favourable than those offshore!!  

Every government worldwide is affected by Covid19, not just Australia.  What we should be doing is washing hands regularly and doing our bit to keep Covid19 at bay.  

We all want our Visas, and we have all being waiting patiently to move forward, so let’s continue to be patient and do our bit to combat Covid19.

No surprise that applications are on hold, health and welfare of all regardless of which country we are in has to be paramount just now.  

AOS Acceptance Letter received 19 March 2020 - Another step forward

Also slightly confused - surely it is your parents that have to provide evidence for the Parent Visa 143, and not the child (in your case dependent adult) I did not realise that immigration/centerlink contacted all dependent adults directly.  Maybe Others on this forum with dependent adults could assist/provide some useful information for you / or your parents

How much longer will you be studying for?  I can assume when you say you have no intention of getting a job, that is during your continued education!!

Can someone give me the number for the AOS office in Tasmania please

@Rosiejaq thanks Jacqui. Latest advice from smart traveller.gov.au is advising not to travel out of Oz!  My daughter is already thinking of not travelling as we were staying with my Dad who is 87

AOS approved?  Did you get something from centerlink?  My son lodged AOS in Feb and has heard nothing  - should I be concerned?

I agree it’s strange that @MELBNGSM parents were not asked to complete Form 80.  My husband and I had to complete this form - we have three children, all in Australia- two are citizens and one is PR (who is married to an Australian).  Will be interested to see if you receive you PR by your estimate of mid-April. 

Wow @KittyMB , congratulations on getting your 2nd Vac payment request, your paperwork has gone through exceptionally fast, my husband and I applied just under two weeks after your date - so I am hoping we will hear soon - AOS bank guarantee paid and our son has uploaded paperwork to his MyGov account. 

AOS Bank Guarantee lodged at Commonwealth Bank 28 February 2020 - the 1st notification my son received only had main applicant, not both parents - after phoning centerlink, submitting a letter it was sorted within days - now both parents are including on AOS - delighted another step forward 

Don’t believe all you see online - I doubt very much anyone who applied in July 2019 getting granted a parent visa 

Hi - Can anyone help - Trying to fill in Form 80 (nightmare)

Part H - Proposed Travel or further stay -

Q21 - Are you currently in Australia - NO

Q22 - Proposed Travel - We have nothing booked for going to Australia this year so - do I just state - NO TRAVEL PROPOSED

Q23 - Travel Dates for your journey - Easy - answer NO

Q24 - Are you applying for a Temporary Visa - NO (Go to Part I)

Part I - Addresses in Australia

Q30 - Are you located outside Australia - YES 

Q31- Do you know the details of the places you will stay during your time in Australia - THIS IS WHERE I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO PUT IT - does this refer to when we go to Australia for our next holiday / where we plan to stay if we get Visa - HELP

Thanks Flangela100 , that information re CRN would have been handy to know, my son could have done this well in advance of getting notice for addition information / AOS support

My son has been told he needs to go in person to Centerlink to get CRN -you need to get identity checked - this is causing his timeline to be tight as he is working offshore just now - at least we have moved on from just waiting unable to do anything  - now waiting for police checks to come back ,have booked medical s, working of Form 80 , we are thankful we have moved onto this stage

Can you tell me if the Centerlink Office provide the Customer Reference Number when you go to the office, or does it take a few days?  My son is currently offshore and will be another 3 weeks before he is back onshore, which does not allow a lot of time to get AOS done within the 28 days.  Although he has all the information already, he just needs the CRN number.  So frustrating

Can any one help - I have received request for further docs - for  the AOS - how does my assurer get a Customer reference number?  Will he have to go into Centerlink?  

Request for further documents today 21 January 2020 - So excited 

143 Application 01 April 2016

We got asked for additional information today - so excited - we applied for 143 on 01 April 2016

How exciting Lady Jane - we are waiting patiently, our application was 01 April 2016, we will be excited to get a request for further docs

Thanks - I thought that I had read that previously - when I looking through Form 80, part Q (Associated People) asks for parter / family information - will need to try and remember all the jobs we have had since we left school !!  great fun  - 40+ years!!

I have a question regarding Form 80 -  who should complete this?  Is it only the main applicant?  or do both my husband and myself complete?
