    Thanks @Ruth7862 - will give it another go. what's the correct email address? @palaceboy1 - thanks for that; didn't realise it was something you had to manually work out. I'm happy to check the queue date calculator once or twice a year as we still have some way to go yet

    Thanks for that... noob question - how do you get that information? I remember seeing an email address that you send a blank email to but I couldn't get a response after several attempts Secondly with the dates above, I assume that queue dates not listed but in that date range (2013) had some progress?

    Thanks for the update @Alan Collett Some progress is better than no progress Be interesting to see the finer details of the temporary parent visa once things become clearer

    I agree with you, from a personal POV it's not ideal but looking at the bigger picture you can sort of understand the rationale. Their website does say that they may give 5 year visas (https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/visitor-600/tourist-stream-overseas#About) if applicants are already in the 103 visa queue. The question would be; would they grant another 3/5 year visa after the initial one expires and they still haven't processed the 103 visa (I don't think there is a definitive answer to that) PHI is a cost, but in the grand scheme of things (BUPA quote says $4,500 for a couple per year); it's a manageable amount.

    I don't check the queue calculator that often but here's the dates/queue lengths since we lodged: 02/09/13 - 21,980 22/04/16 - 16,010 22/11/16 - 14,670 09/03/18 - 12,610 22/11/18 - 10,600 In an ideal world 10,600 in the queue at a rate of 1,500 per year makes it just over 7 years left. However seeing what has been happening; I think it could be another 10 years... The ever shifting ending is making me lean more towards getting a subclass 600 visa to tide them over.

    Thanks @Alan Collett - thought as much. Assuming they process the maximum 1,500 visa's per year, that's still 7 years away. It looks like they also don't process the maximum so could be another few years on top. With no further news on the temp 3/5 year parent visas (last I checked the bill was still stuck in parliament); is a subclass 600 the next low-cost option? The subclass 600 would let them stay for 12 months in an 18 month period; and possibly get visa for a 5 year duration (as they are already in the queue).

    Hi all, New to the forum and thought I'd sign up so I can start contributing rather than just reading through... My situation, we're both citizens (having migrated 10 years ago). Applied for the subclass 103 visa for my parents. Their queue date is 10 April 2013. Any ideas on what we should expect to happen? looking back through the posts they are assessing applications with a queue date of Aug 2010. So it is it a case of wait a few more years before we hear anything? The last contact we had from the dept. was the letter advising us of the queue date.
