    Just wanted to share with you a response from Immi regarding payment of the 2nd VAC. Our bank has a daily limit of $25k for BPAY.

    Request for 2nd VAC received today! The long wait and suspense is soon over. This forum has been our lifeline, especially over the past year, and the help and support from everyone has been fantastic. Thank you so much and good luck to everyone in the queue. I will report back once the payment is made and the Visa is approved.

    AoS lodged on 14.11.19 and just received Centrelink approval letter today, 30.1.20! Very happy bunny!!

    So sorry to hear that. Maybe it's worth just sending a message to your case officer to explain that it was 13 years ago you left the UK...? He/she might reconsider, you never know. Yes please for red wine!!

    Hi Peter, that's probably the easiest solution. Many thanks Christa

    Thanks Rosiejaq. I wonder if this means a third party can pay as long as the visa reference number is quoted?

    Hi Biggsy, thank you for the advice but I'm not sure if HSBC work in the same way as Commbank. I will have to contact them on the phone but the advice they've given me in writing already is that the cannot increase the BPay limit. I'll let everyone know what they say. Thanks again Christa

    Hello, Can anyone please advise if a third party can pay the 2nd VAC? We have an account with HSBC Australia but their daily limit for BPay is not high enough to pay the full Visa amount. Apparently this limit cannot be increased even for the purpose of one payment. We're not in Australia so can't visit an HSBC branch ourselves. Has anyone had this problem and how did you resolve it? Our daughter or son could pay it for us through their own bank account if that is acceptable. Many thanks, Christa

    Our daughter had the call from Centrelink yesterday. She was told to expect the bank guarantee letter on Monday. We're so happy to be a step closer!

    Same with us. It's a waiting game..

    Just to let you know that we have been contacted today - we are over the moon!!!

    Could it mean 3349 143 applications from 1/7/18 to 31/10/18?

    Congratulations! So happy for you

    Hi, could you give state timeline please? It helps all of us who are still waiting. Thanks.

    Congratulations! So happy for you

    Thanks Patience, I believe it said 18 months when we applied....

    Thanks Bridgie, the sudden stop a few weeks ago is disconcerting but we have to remain positive and hope they're coming to 2016 applications eventually. I'm so glad not to be alone, thanks to everyone that contributes to this forum. Hope many more will find it and share their experiences. It would be so wonderful if Immi were keeping us informed. When we went through the application process, we were able to email parents@border.gov.au and receive replies to all our queries within just a few hours. Not sure this is happening now. Suppose a lot has changed in the department since then. We sold our house in readiness and will move to temporary accommodation at the end of October. The uncertainty of the future is not easy to bear

    Thank you and Patience for the data. This is very informative but when it says 1 lodgement, could this be for each application lodged, and is it not the case that each application could include a partner and/or other family members and therefore the figures here become misleading?
