Usual advice is via a bank cheque. B pay should practically instant. Can you not transfer cash from credit card to your bank account 

All sorted now. I was able to get the cash and will bpay soon. Bit weird why i was told it will take 2-3 weeks to clear which didn't make any sense.

I don’t know how long the credit card payment will take to clear, but we paid the full 2nd vac amount by online commonwealth bank BPay last week, and the visa was issued the next day.

Good to know. Unsure why I was told it will take 2-3 weeks to clear. 

Hi, my parents 2nd vac has been requested. Can someone advise if it's possible to split the payment and pay part via bpay & part via credit card summing up the total amount requested? I was able to collect most of the funds 80k but short on 7k. I have emailed pvc team, they rang me up yesterday in the afternoon and was advised that the best option is to go to commonwealth bank and get a bank cheque. I was also told that credit card & bpay can take up to 2-3 weeks to clear which did not make any sense to me!

I haven't made payment yet. I am just trying to get the funds sorted to pay it. I am yet to find out if i can split the payment via 2 different payment methods before I proceed

From what I read it's a matter of couple days once payment is made to get the visa. 

Hi Mani, yes. My parents application was 14 august 2015 and have been requested 15/05 to pay the 2nd installment

Hi,

The second installment for my parents contributory visa subclass 143 has been requested. Can someone shed some light if you were able to pay the sum of vac2 split in 2 payments within the allocated 28 days required. I want to see if I can pay 80K by bpay and 7K by credit card. I tried ringing immi and they didn't have an answer and instead asked me to forward the question via email to pvc team.

TIA
