Hi,

we are 2 brothers both in Aus on PR. We want to apply 143 visa offshore for our parents.

I have some questions . if someone can respond that will be highly appreciated.

1. for form 40 there has to be one sponsor or there can be two sponsors as well. if there are two sponsor does the case becomes more solid?

2. after submitting the application when does AOS bond kicks in..ie. after how much time we have to apply for this bond

3. after submitting the application if sponsor address changes and the address for the authorised recipient also changes (in our case both will be same person) how we notify 

the department about that...I have seen form 929 but it only address the applicant not the authorised recipient or sponsor. 

 

thanks

1. Makes no much difference but Two are better.  2. Current waiting time is 5 to 8 years after applying 143.  3. It is same form  No. 929

Hi all

Just went to centrelink to apply for AOS. 
It’s so confused. They just did confirmation of identity, and took the AOS form without asking ( Department of Home Affairs letter, any documents,...) she not even read the forms, just signed as the witness only. Then she said that’s all done. When I asked her about what is next. She said she has no idea. All she doing is scan and submit it. If I need to know anything, call the service number  

Does anyone experience like me? Is it just first step normally? Will I expected another appointment or interview? 

( I didn’t have the CRN to register online, and Centrelink is just next door, so I thought it would be easier to just apply in person) 

Thanks

They are not supposed to do all these. There must be some other people in Centrelink to verify all docs. Don't worry, they will inform you if some more docs require.

@Greece and @tomale have you guys received an invite for aos?

Not heard anything from Centrelink after submitting AoS application on 29/11.  I read in the forum that normally it take 10-12 weeks to hear from them further. Is there any way to speed up BG invite early ???

Thanks, my application date was July 2017 and acknowledgment in Sept 2017 so I save a couple of months  

True. But real test is May & June months processing time of 2016 and 2017.

I have a question regarding Form 80 -  who should complete this?  Is it only the main applicant?  or do both my husband and myself complete?  

You both need to fill Form 80 separately.

can someone please guide regarding AOS - 

While submitting AOS app online. Do you need to do identity verification before submitting? Or can be done after submitting? Just want to get an idea. Thanks in advance.

You can do it after submitting online application.

Hi Greece. 
If you asked about the lodgement day, then it was 22 Feb 16 (not 12)
I actually was so surprised when I got an email as after I read your timeline I expected it would come around next couple weeks or next year...  

 

Wow! It is really unbelievable speed of issuing request for further docs!!  Congrats!!!

Is it 12 Feb  OR  22 Feb?

I also had  a French PCC and I recently had it translated, as required.  There was info on the letter I had received from Immi which directed me to accredited translators,  I requested various quotes then accepted the one which cost the least.  It didn’t cost much at all.   I scanned the original (photo would do), emailed it through to the translator and had the translation done in 24 hours, stamped and signed by the translator who stated her qualifications. It was returned to me as a scanned copy which I was then able to forward  direct to Immi.  The original signed translation was sent on to me by post.  Actually it was all surprisingly very easy.

Hi AMP,  Can you please tell Translator name who has done French to English translation for you and at what price?

I have One PCC  in French Language.  Am I required to translate this PCC to English Language? 

If  Yes,  is there any official Govt website to translate French PCC to English PCC?

Hi, Can anyone please tell how to send Form 80, PCC, etc to PVC team. 

Do we have to attach these docs in PVC Team Return email?   Or Is there any other way we have to send to them?

Hi Greece,

after you receive the Bank guarantee request letter, you need to open a term deposit at the Commonwealth bank. Commonwealth Bank will issue the account documents for you. Those documents will be about 9-10 pages.

In the Bank guarantee request letter, it say “ please provide the BG and your account documents issued by Cba ALONG WITH THIS LETTER within 14 DAYS of receiving this letter” 

you can choose to upload THAT LETTER + Cba account documents online or take it to Local Centrelink office. I choose to do online because i have my gov account and Centrelink app on my phone

after sign in Centrelink app, you choose “ upload document” ~~>>> then you choose “ Centrelink form “ ~~~>>> then you choose “ scan bar code “ 

the bar code i am taking about is the one on the top left corner of the Bank Guarantee request letter. You use your phone’s camera to scan that bar code

next step is take a photo/ scan/ upload all the document you have 

by that way Centrelink can process your document quick & accurate. 
 

I attach some picture below FYI ( select the one I circle )

Hope that can help you. Gluck with your visa 

 

 

 

 

Hi Mily,  Thank you so... much. You have explained so well that even professional agent can't explain better than you. Really helpful explanation for all viewers.

U should use the centrelink app to upload the document. Choose to upload centrelink form then choose to scan the bar code. It will automatically fill in the data that is assurance of support

then take a photo of all document ~~>> upload

i did that way and received the acceptance letter within 1 weeks

Can you please explain in detail,  1.  which Form to upload? (We should not fill online Form?)  2. Which Bar Code to scan? (From where we get Bar Code?)

Hi All

I am filling form 80 and feeling confused about question#17.

Do I need to provide address history for the last ten years for all the places I "stayed" at? E.g. visiting friends/family in Australia or other countries? I.e. Should I include addresses from trips that were long holidays?

Or

Is it only referring to where I "Lived" in the last ten years? I.e. my permanent residence

 

Thanks!

You need to write all Countries (not cities) you visited during last 10 years, all in chronological order. Month/Year to Month/Year

I just got PR recently this November 2019. few week ago. but I have here five years on temporary visa. 

I think you may not be eligible to apply CPV 143 for your parents as you must complete 2 years on your PR and should be settled in Australia. After 2 years of your PR, you are eligible to apply for CPV 143.  Better you may recheck on this.

hi there

I have been living in Australia for five years. I just recently got PR in November 2019 . just about three weeks ago. I want to lodge contributory parents visa application ( 143) for my mother and father and 22 years old dependent sister. I meet balance of family test.. I have only one 22 dependent sister who is financially dependent on my parents. my 22 dependent sister is not working , has no income.I want to lodge their application in next few months before my 22 dependent sister turn 23 year old.

my question is this. if after lodging their application including my 22 dependent sister . but  my sister is going to be over 23 years old before their applications being finalised. 

will my sister be removed from their application or not? because she is going to be over 23 years of age before being finalised. but she is still financially dependent on my parents until being finalised. 

To apply for 143, you need to check eligibility criteria. Is it 2 years from your PR or from your arrival?  Also, CPV 143 waiting time has gone more than 6 years as per present Queue unless Govt increase Quota in future.
