Have your parents done their medical examinations? On your immiaccount it should say medical is finalised.

My parents have been granted 870 visa. Thanks everyone for sharing information. Timeline: Sponsorship - 27/June Application submitted - 14/Aug more information requested - 25/Sep Sponsorship Approval 870 Visa- 25/Sep Application submitted, medical requested - 7/Oct second payment and health insurance requested - 9/Oct visa granted

Hi Kazza2019 Yes I did. However he was not willing to open my file first. But he accepted to do so when I explained my situation and asked him to check out if they have received the information that the officer required. Actually agents on the phone couldn't be very helpful as they have a very limited access to files. All the best

Thank you Sue! Is form 80 required for 870 visa? Sorry I was not clear. Cheers

I've received the sponsorship approval letter yesterday after 13 weeks. Does anyone know if FORM 80 is required for the parent visa? Cheers, Sara

Thank you very much Sue. You've been very helpful. I called the 131881 last week to check out the status of my application which the agent said they have received all the documents and the officer just needs more time! Cheers, Sara

Hi Sue Congratulations on your visa! and thanks for sharing the information. I've applied end of June for Sponsorship 870 and I was asked for more info on the 14th of Aug (AFP certificate and receipt of my tax payment). Submitted everything in 2 weeks and still waiting (so about 12 weeks since I applied). Could you please let me know what documents you attached for the second stage of visa 870? (except for IDs and police clearance) and which insurance company and what type of insurance you picked? I'm pregnant at the moment and I'd like to have my parents here with me before my due date All the best, Sara
