Thanks.

Thanks MAKhan. What step do you follow to get Medicare in BV period? Did u contected medicare office before 173 expire or after that? For how many months they gave medicare? Thanks.

Thanks again. The link is helpful. It seems they might have chance to get Medicare. I will visit Medicare and will ask the details.

Thanks. But the last point is confusing "you have not applied for a parent visa". In fact they applied for 143 (Contributory Permanent Parent visa).

I got the information that while the waiting for the result of 143 (Contributory Permanent Parent visa) from 173 (Contributory Temporary Parent visa), we could apply for Bridging visa. The Bridging Visa (BVA) will effective when 173 expires. But my question is: does the BVA also allow applicant to continue/renew the Medicare card? or while they are in BVA they will not be eligible to get Medicare for the interim period (until approve the 143). It will be helpful if someone give information with the relevant URL link (if any) of public website. Thanks.
