Congrats to everyone who has just got their visa!!!

I wonder if there is a similarity of countries whose got approved recently. I am seeing that UK residents are the majority...

I would have to agree, I can see on other places on internet that many applicants from asian countries like Vietnam,china,india from jan,feb,march 16 are still waiting on second vac while seeing May uk applicants are getting it. Thought only student visa had country levels.

not yet. still waiting

So your last contact with pvc was feb 2020? 

People who got their visa, forgot about their waiting time and have newly found sarcasm.

Hey mate,

 

I highly agree with you.

 

If anyone wants to discuss insurance, ambulance, medicare, they should create a new thread. 

 

The main focus of this thread is to help others to track the timeline

 

 

Did you get 2nd Vac request? Seen couple of early March get 2nd vac request.

thanks....143 contributory visa we applied in 2014 and finally we received letter last month.....

In regards, to payinn they don't have BPAY option paying via immiaccount....where can I find BPAY option....Please guide.

This user keeps giving false date of application, few months ago he said application date 2015 and now saying 2014.

Offshore Mate!

Did you send any emails to PVC to check for status? Before receiving the 2nd vac request?

So someone from 24/02/2016 got their grant on 20/10/2020 as per the excel sheet. Is that user on this forum? name - Tomale

As I have said already, I anticipate this is an error on the part of the delegate at the PVC.

Best regards.

Hope so.

I haven't seen a case where 2nd vac was requested from offshore applicant after the budget announcement.

Hi Patience 

this looks like the same guy that another member posted about on the PIO thread, page 911. 
 

Yes it does, just wanted to highlight that this person says he doesnt have money ready as he expected more wait, on other hand people who are ready with money from 2016's are being neglected. If it is only because of corona. Then why let international students fly black to adelaide? Also covid is not caught for life. All the offshore will do quarantine like everyone else. Dont understand the logic. Just any reason to halt parent visa processing. 

Found this guy on social media, this is crazy. People who are prepared they just shut on them. And asking Aos money from people who are least prepared. 

Immigration department being very unfair with offshore 143 applicants, made them wait 5 plus years and now not giving visas. All these families have their lives on standstill because of all these delays. Soon the medicals and police clearance for all Jan to May 2016 applicants will start to expire and will add to their cost and misery. No fair dinkum here!

14 days of receiving the letter

Has someone been able to request extension for the same? Do they decline the application if they dont hear back in 14 days? 

how long do they give to arrange the bond? once they issue bond request letter? Thanks in advance

Advise needed please

Is it best to do identity check at centrelink before/during or after AOS application?

That’s terrible news for all applicants after 2015/16, waiting 4 years felt like a lifetime especially when you  were told 18/24 months. They need to give realistic time frames so people can make an informed decision as to whether to apply or not. New applicants must be looking at more than a 10year waiting time.

Those numbers seem like total parent visas and not just 143. Non contributory seems to be included in that number.

Does this mean that the date application lodged is the one we should be looking for (to understand the timeline movements) instead of the first acknowledgment letter received by dha?

 

In 2016 there was a difference of max 4-5 days between those dates. Now recently its months. At least that's what I noticed. 

all eyes on you now @Kathss56 for further request. Greece intuition was pretty correct about theirs. What do you feel? 

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.

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...  

 

I think it came as a good surprise. Nov 15 and Dec 15 also received further request pretty quickly as compared to Sept 15. I think they need to open more files at this pace if they intend to fill 6000 places as only 4000 odd files have received request for further doc so far in this year and on average its taking 5 odd months to receive visa after getting further doc request. Then again there are lot of ifs and buts involved as mentioned on immi website.

Great News!  Today received an eMail from PVC team to submit documents! 

congratulations, I see you submitted AOS straightaway. Did you do it at office or online?

Just now, Alan Collett said:

That "not fit for purpose" issue again ...

Best regards.

off topic, since you MARA agent

One agent told me that 45000 odd apps in 143 loop. Those numbers do not include secondary applicants. Is that true?

Just now, theballies said:

I have been trying to fill in the AOS application in my myGov centrelink account for the past 2 days, I get to a certain stage and it tells me that the 'Service unavailable at this time' and that I should try again.  I have now phoned Centrelink about it and they have said that there is a problem with the site at present and that I should download form SU594, then scan and upload it via my centrelink account online.  Once I have done that, I am to call them and let them know and they will then link it up to my file so that I can still have the ability to track the application online.  So, fingers crossed, here goes.

Probably their server/hard drives not able to handle the data.
