    The email is parents@homeaffairs.gov.au. However, I haven't been able to receive the auto generated email for a while now.

    Last day of this financial year, hoping to see movement for the visa approvals and additional documents from tomorrow onwards. Fingers crossed!

    Hi @tonys, congrats on getting some contact from the department regarding your application. may I know your current status? are you onshore or offshore. Not that it will make a huge difference as your lodgment date is April 2016 and there were few may 2016 applicants also getting their files processed, but just for information. thanks

    True, wasn't there a lodgement period of 6 months once the sponsorship has been approved. Or has that been extended due to Covid?
  5. Anks
    I hope you realise that until there are clear instructions from the Prime Minister about the borders opening for international visitors, you won't be able to get this visa granted.

    Hi All, Has anyone sent an email to parents@homeaffairs.gov.au recently and received the automated reply? I have tried a few times and haven't got any response. Cheers

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-15/australian-visas-melbourne-liu-family-private-jet-flight-nz/13059766 This is crazy, the government should step up and make some changes to avoid unnecessary travel for parents just to get stamps for their hard earned PR.

    And then there are people who say that their migration agents have also quoted them the visa will be granted in 58 months as that's what is mentioned on the gov website. Again wrong information from a so called professional. I really feel for them as either they don't want to do their own research/have the resources to do so unfortunately or are clearly misled by someone with the wrong info.

    I reckon if its a connecting flight then you dont need to leave the airport and catch your connecting flight from melbourne or adelaide. And then just quarantine in your last port of arrival i.e. brisbane..

    https://www.sbs.com.au/language/english/audio/fees-waived-to-keep-temporary-visa-holders-on-side_4 Not sure if this is relevant to the 870 sponsorship applications as well..
  11. Anks
    Dont think this would be the case as even in queue assessment they wont ask for AoS to be lodged. This is more of asking for further docs which many of the applicants in mid 2016 and 2017 are not been asked for.
  12. Anks
    More on that yes you may loose the sponsorship application fees as it has a 6 month period to apply for the actual 870 once the sponsorship is granted. However wont hurt requesting the department if they are able to provide an extension for that due to the borders being closed and no point loosing on the whole of 3 years for the parents. Worst case you may only loose the sponsorship fees and pcc and all which you might have to do again but If I was in your situation I wont apply for the applicants now knowing they can't fly on a temp visa.

    Can we check if the applicant is currently onshore on 600 or 870? If so then there could be a possibility that DHA is prioritizing where the applicant is onshore.
  14. Anks
    So you are offshore

    Hi, If your signature is correct with an application month of April 2019 then please wait very patiently for at least 7-9 years for any information seeking email or contact from the department. Let alone the 2nd VAC request.
  16. Anks
    Hi, The email address is parents@homeaffairs.gov.au and you would need to put something in the subject line e.g. Subclass 143
  17. Anks
    Congrats @SusieRoo, as pointed by someone here and looking at the people who are updating about more docs requested or their application progressing they all are 173 holders applying for 143. I haven't seen anyone who has applied for 143 to start with getting any requests or contact by DHA. Is that still the case? Or are there any 143 applicants being requested for more docs?
  18. Anks
    Hi @Anash6, This is a 143/173 timeline forum for people who have already applied for 143 or 173 visas and share their status with others. For any info related queries please post it to and I'm sure you will get your queries answered.

    Not onshore and waiting very patiently for my mother's visa. The entire idea/suggestion of implementing such amendment is due to the only fact that parents are of an age that is the most vulnerable and the way this virus is spreading if we can restrict our old parents stay in Australia if they are already here where it might be safe than other countries (only assuming) than why not. How many times has a migration lawyer seen 8503 been deferred in such a scale as someone here only suggested that they have seen many of their applicants have received it in hours if not days. That was never the case. DHA has asked people to apply for new visas to avoid over staying and breaching visa conditions which is brand new work/processing I reckon and the fees is not that exorbitant either compared to the parent visa 864 or 143. Not trying to skip the line and make my way as I already said but just a thought to help in any way possible. One off amendments can happen in these unprecedented times. We are all in this together and can only do so much.

    With these unprecedented situation we are in and conditions changing everyday as a result government needing to hand out billions of dollars to support the economy and most affected, there have been so many changes already to make those into effect and help. I reckon govt needs to make some money or find new ways to do so. Even a small change in the law could be helpful I reckon!
  21. Anks
    In my opinion, the Government should instead speed up the process and determine if there are any 143 applicants that are onshore and process their applications.. I'm sure they will be willing to pay the 2nd vac which would help government with some revenue instead of handing out bvb or asking them to apply for any other visa to stay in aus if their visa's are going to end soon.

    Hi All, I think @Alan Collett already mentioned about this but for everyone who are planning to lodge a 870 long stay parent visa before applying for 143 should read the latest update in the auto response from the parents mailbox. My interpretation is that if you apply for 870 or have an 870 prior to applying for 143 (if thats what someone is willing to do) then you are not eligible, people who have already applied for 143 and have an acknowledgement from the dha would not be affected.

    Sending a blank email to parents@homeaffairs.gov.au with something in the subject line.... it sends you an auto response with details about parent visa categories and their timelines something like this -
  25. Anks
    You need to provide permanent addresses for any country where you have lived more than 12 months. In your case as you stated you only lived in the UK, just provide you addresses if more than one. You need to mention the month you started living "from" and "to" for each address. if you have only lived in one house for the last 10 years i.e. from February 2010 to February 2020 then only mention that one address. hope that helps
