Congratulations.  It is really great to hear when someone makes it.  It is beginning to feel a little like 'The Great Escape'.  Have a lovely life over there.

Yes a big disappointment, I was waiting to hear about his also.  Does this mean that it will not be implemented or does it mean it has been delayed?  If anyone has any news I would appreciate if you could keep me updated.

Thanks Kathss56.  Yes, I am leaning towards a 600 visa, might just have to hold on a little longer and go in the summerish 2018.  By the way, I was NSW bound but now my son is moving to Queensland with his job. 

A couple of questions for you all.  Obviously, this visa is taking much longer than anticipated, when I applied, as you all know, these were taking 18-24 - months to process.  So, now thinking about my options.  Does anyone know any up to date news on the 'New Temporary  Sponsored Parent' Visa.  Last info about this visa, I can find, was May this year.  It is something to think about applying for.  However, after saying that, the way things have started moving again, I am now wondering if it would be viable to go out, March/April next year on a 600 visitor visa.  The only thing that worries me about getting a visitor visa is having to get out of OZ for 6-months if the 143 visa queues/waiting time start to get even longer than they already are.
