Processing time is stretching further and further every month, perhaps the sponsors should reach out to Senators in the Greens, independent Senators and Senators in labor party to give some pressures on the current Minister to issue a full 7171 visa places at the end of each financial year which set by Committee.

I do believe if there are a lot of sponsors voice their concerns to senators and the media about deliberately visa processing delay, the opposition party and crossbenchers will do something.

The government tend to blame none citizens because they don’t have votes right. it looks like the current government is deliberately delaying grant 143 visa by technically reducing 143 visa places yearly and setup roadblocks to delay the whole process ( it takes about 14-18 weeks for AOS processing - unbelievable) Any change shouldn’t affect the applicants that currently waiting on the queue as they met all the criteria set by the government at the time of submission. It would be great if someone in this forum asks his/her sponsor to reach out to SBS or the Guardian to get media attention about contributory parent visa long delay processing, then hopefully some senators will step up to give some pressures to the current government (we have been told that the processing time is 18-24 months by the time of application) Kev
