Anyone here waiting for the ceremony from whittlesea council victoria?

Hey! I live in whittlesea, could you please share the date you applied

Whats the difference between lodgement date and acknowledgment date? 

I have a theory about the slow processing. I might be wrong though, but what if the department is only processing 300 applicants per month(3600/12), because if they process faster they will exhaust the cap earlier than July 1st 2022, so they wanna go at an even speed till then, what do we think?

Yes if you can find a very scarce and expensive  flight and pay for 2 weeks quarantine. The caps for entry into Australia have been halved in recent weeks. 

How much the cost of the 2 weeks of quarantine?

Question- Those applicants who have been granted their ca143 visa and are offshore, are they allowed into the country?

Yes Nitz, my parents are offshore.

When was your lodgement date?

 

There was also a second spike in 2017 - nearly 9000 applied for 143 in May/ June alone! 

There is now a smaller “cap“  on parent  visas - approx 6000 contributory parent Visas could be granted each year and 1500 non contributory Visas  but the actual numbers granted  are usually less than that  - only 6850 in total were granted by end June 2019  
Its simple  maths then to work out the potential length of wait - in fact just those 9000 143 applications in May/June 2017 will take 18-24 Months to process - and there are also 5 other different types of parent visas to add to the equation  
I applied June 2017 so have already waited 3 years - I expect to wait at least another 3 if not more !

The 2nd vac will be calculated as at the time u start apply 143. So if she is under 18 u just need to pay few $k ..... not ~$43k as adults

when u apply aos if she is still under 18, u dont need to do aos for her. But if she is over 18 at the time they ask for aos then u have to do another application of aos for her. 

So if a dependent applicant is over 18, is it 10,000$ for them too?

What is the processing date for the Ca143 so far?

Hey guys

Can someone please confirm what is the new processing date for Ca143 visa is, October or December 2015?

Hi guys, coming back to the forum after quite some time, could you guys tell me who here on this forum who is the immigration lawyer that everyone took advice from? Thanks

Is there any scope that the department supply's more Case officers to the Parent visa department in the near future?

Does your sponsor have to stand for the Aos or can any other relative stand for it?

Thanks
