- Your dates do not make sense; I'm not sure how your lawful residence can have started on 19/4/2010 if you were absent from Australia on that date as you state 

 

Thanks @paulhand, "19/4/2010" was the first time I entered AU on GSM-175 which is a PR visa granted on "17/03/2010".

Since I was out of the country for 2 years between 2014 to 2016, I had to reapply for RRV and reenter.

What is the relevance of the "position number" that you receive with the initial acknowledgment while applying for CPV 143?

Does CPV 143 and 173 have the same wait time?

Thanks all, is there a way to find out what was the size of the queue during diff points in time?

In our Contributory Parent category there was 48,595 applicants as of 30th June 2018 and there was 6,015 visas granted that year. And it’s my assumption this will have now increased to over 50,000 with the planning levels reduced for 2019-20. So for anyone applying now (if nothing changes) it will take around 10 years to be processed.

IMMI is currently processing up to July 2015 and the queue has been moving about 4 months forward each year. So if this stays the same, you will have 4 years still to wait. But there is some speculation that processing has slowed recently due to problems at Centrelink and if this gets fixed, processing may speed up.

 

Where can we find the information on the queue size and the annual visas limit granted each year. Please provide a link if you have one.

All you can do is send a blank email to parents@homeaffairs.gov.au

This will only show  the months they are currently dealing with. You can never find out about your individual application. 

Be aware that wait times are getting longer and longer. All applicants must also pass a medical before a visa is granted and as parents get older they are more likely to have problems which may impact on the decision as to whether to grant a visa or not. Also if one parent fails the medical both fail. 

When did you apply? 

In Dec 2018. I'm sad, this is taking a toll on their health and mine too. My father passed away, now it's only my mother she has health issues is depressed on the loss of a partner and not caring for her health with the required medication. I'm unable to leave my job and attend to her, and this is driving me crazy. I'm really concerned about her health, is it possilble to make an appeal or move her to a diff visa as such. 

Hello members, for those of you on CPV 143, how to check the updates of the queue? Can we use the ack no they have provided? Can we call up anyone on this? My parents are getting older and leaving them alone is adding to their health burdens. Please advice.
