    We are having our first vaccine mid March. One dose gives you a good level of protection. Although we had to book our 2nd at the same time, I’ll just cancel them after we’ve had the first.

    Yes, my husband saw that on the news last night. I’m sure immigration will be a valid reason, we are homeless! And it says that they are just doing spot checks, I believe. they are just trying to stop people taking holidays. I’ll let you know on here what happens when we go at the end of March

    I’ve just seen this on FB from the Australian high commission, read the sixth para, could be promising for flights to Melbourne. I’d hang on if I was you. Also good news for us as caps into Perth are increasing again and that’s where we are heading. Our flight is booked for the 30th of March. Yes we are in the UK, living in a holiday cottage as our house sale went through super quick ( unfortunately) house stuff shipped, living out of suitcases but very excited that we are within touching distance Have you thought about registering for the repatriation flights?

    On a Facebook group, I’ve seen people who were due to fly to Melbourne being moved by their airline to Brisbane or Sydney. What has your travel agent or airline said? They must know what’s happening with other passengers due to fly to Melbourne in the next few weeks. I’m so sorry that your having this extra hassle, so stressful

    When my daughter (sponsor) moved I just emailed them with the application reference number, old and new address, I got an acknowledgment a few days later to say it had been updated. Regarding the change of jobs, I can’t actually remember putting my daughter or son in laws occupations or an address where they worked on my forms, but I might be wrong.

    This is so unfair and shows that they do not process in date order as some applicants in May 2016 have had their visas granted. Is there not a number for the department you can ring to speak to someone, I may be wrong but I’m sure I’ve seen a telephone number posted on this site for home affairs. Have you tried the parents@homeaffairs.gov.au email as well as the PVC team? I really hope you hear from them soon, good luck.

    Don’t want to be the bearer of bad news but we’ve just got ours in November 2020, waited 4 years 8 months! take a look at the link below Scroll to the bottom and click where it says Download https://www.gm-parent-visas.com/contributory-parent-visa-application-numbers/

    That’s good to know, hard to sit on the plane all of that time though! But it will be worth it

    Are Singapore allowing UK passengers to transit through now? Or does your mum not live in the UK?
  10. Lady Jane
    Great news, who did you fly with and did everything go ok? Was this the 1st flight that you booked, no bumping off from a previous date?
  11. Lady Jane
    Have a look at the parent visa application timeline thread, there’s others still waiting from February 2016 onwards. As above your agent should be attempting to get an update for you.

    There’s a list of approved private testers on the government site. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjGtuLn6ZPuAhXCiVwKHaAlDeQQFjAAegQIBBAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Flist-of-private-providers-of-coronavirus-testing%2Flist-of-private-providers-of-coronavirus-testing&usg=AOvVaw2Cqt6RsdpzNY55vFzW8TrP

    Try Jennie at British travel, shes helped a lots of people with flights. Email ask@britishtravel.com.au for a price. It’s usually with Qatar air, she quoted us $5200 (each) from Heathrow to Perth. Thats economy class but no guarantee you won’t get bumped, before this new strain of virus she was advertising non bump economy seats but I haven’t seen her offer this since I’ve looked at flights online and can only get a price for business class and I think that’s what we will have to reluctantly book to guarantee we get there.

    Hi Linda, I would of thought that 14 days quarantine was more than enough, regardless of the strain. Let’s hope they just add that you have to have a negative test before travel. I'm praying that our government come good with the vaccine promises made today.
  15. Lady Jane
    If your selling, moving etc then its permitted. Also you can travel internationally if it’s essential and I would deem emigrating essential if you’ve sold up. The only thing it specifically does not permit is going on holiday
  16. Lady Jane
    I may be wrong but I’ve seen somewhere that although you can apply for the 870, they are not issuing them until the international borders open. So timings will depend on when they open, as it could be another 6 months to a year before that happens. I would hope that a 3 year visa would be enough but who knows? Good luck.
  17. Lady Jane
    I don’t think they are on hold as such but I haven’t seen anyone asked for further documentation recently. The latest date I’ve seen is 2nd of June 2016 that’s been asked for further docs. Fingers crossed you will hear something in the new year. From memory processing slowed this time last year then in the new year lots were asked for documentation. Covid also slowed things down, look at my timeline. It’s just a waiting game and not a very nice one

    I totally agree that no information is better than the wrong information. If they put the correct information on then parents could make an informed decision before applying. I know I’m one of the lucky ones but when I applied it said 18 to 24 months. We thought ok if it takes 2 years then another 6 months to move over that’s just about right for us. It took more than double that length of time, it’s so unfair on new applicants who put their application in now.

    Congratulations,
  20. Lady Jane
    Birth certificates are needed Just for the applicants
  21. Lady Jane
    I’m not sure how she does it and I’m assuming you pay more than standard economy class for the guarantee but she advertises non bump seats. I have seen people who have used her and got back without being bumped.
  22. Lady Jane
    Contact Jennie Bardsley at British travel in Perth. She can get you non bump seats for most places in Australia good luck
  23. Lady Jane
    Yes sorry, it’s expensive enough
  24. Lady Jane
    It’s £87,200 for both parents

    You retain your spot in the Q when switching from a 103 to a 143 visa
