Hi VickyP

on home affairs website for info,click on the Sponsor button.

i agree with lindaH27, think it’s just new visa system taking its time.

Home Affairs just updated sponsorship processing time on 870visa.

75% in 78 days

90% in 85 days.

nothing yet on parent Applicant side.

JessJessJess,

can you add the dates both sponsorship application submitted,and parent section submitted,

thanks 

Not yet ThomasG,what date did you submit your forms?

Try Alan Collett at Go Matilda,

Hi

welcome to “the room”. Google the new temporary parent visa for Australia it will take to You to home affairs website and the news on this proposed new visa. They are saying 143 applicants can come out in this although it has not been passed though the senate yet

. Or as you will be into 4/5yrs by then you could come over on a 600 family tourist visa (factsheet on home Affairs again) allows 12 in 18 mths stay usually or if you are lucky 12mths at a time and lasts up to 3 years

Thanks for this Kath
