Hi katie you could consider renting instead of buying a house then you would have some savings to fall back on 

Sorry, yes I mean applications already in system. Yes I’ve already applied 

Yes, Australia. I heard they look at new visas once a year

They are very settled, just want to be with them, one day!

Feel like I’ll never get there to join my family the waiting time is so long, it’s very depressing 

Thanks Kath for that, I’ve just looked and it’s very interesting as it seems that some people have had their visa granted earlier than those who have had their application in before them. I thought there was a queuing system 

Oh dear 8 years sounds along time think I’ll hope for 4 years altogether that seems to be the general view on time scale but thank you for  responding 

Thank you Linda for that information, my papers went in July 2017 so yes I suppose I’ll just have to get on with life like you said but I’m one frustrated lady just want to get over there with both my children, guess you will be feeling the same.

Thank you for responding. On our acknowledgment letter our position number is 00003480, not sure what this means but do you have a position number on your acknowledgment letter? It’s so frustrating waiting this length of time 

Hi does anyone know if the government has started looking at new 143 contribution visa for this year 2019

Our papers have been in since 2017 and we still haven’t heard anything 

Hi please can I ask, when did your parents submit their application as I haven’t heard anything as yet thanks 

Hi does anyone know if they have started looking at new visas yet

Thanks. Our names have been in since 2017 and yes you’re right I am driving myself crazy, looks like it’s going to be 2021 before we hear anything

Looks like we’ve a long wait ahead

I think most potential immigrants applying for a visa have very little or no idea at all of how many other others are applying from all over the world. Are only focussed on their own journey. Proportionately there might be far more parents applying from other countries than the UK. 

I know the figure 50.000 of parents in the visa queue was mentioned quite some time ago, I forget by who, but I would like to see this number confirmed by immigration. So is the number of 50.000 the actual number of visa applications in the queue or the total number of applicants who are included on each application., so therefore fewer visa applications actually in the queue, Could make a difference. 

I wish there was a phone number we could ring where someone could tell us exactly how long it will be before our visas are granted 

I understand that but I’m not at retirement age yet so I will be able to put back into there acconomy it’s just so frustrating

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you are probably looking at another 3 to 4 years wait. My mum's application went in Sept 16 and we think we are being overly optimistic at hoping for a  Dec 2020 visa grant.

Oh no, it’s so depressing, I can’t understand why they take so long especially as we’re paying, we are desperate to be over there

how does it work, do some people have priority over others or do you just wait in line?

Hi our papers have been in since August 2017 but we still haven’t heard anything, does anyone know when they will start issuing new visas 

Thanks 

Will just have to be patient thanks for answering my message 

Thanks, not good, can’t wait to get over to be with my family

Our 143 visa papers have been in since October 17 but we haven’t heard anything as yet, does anyone know how long they are taking 

Hi can we live in Australia while we are waiting for our permanent parent visa to be accepted? 

Could I ask which visa you applied for
