That's correct. Definitely don't remember filling out form 80. We were asked to fill out Form 54 family composition though. Not too sure if they solve the same purpose.- 3,180 replies

I think from memory, it took us about 8 weeks to get the AOS approval letter. All the best for next steps. You're very close now.- 3,180 replies

Haven't really been in a similar situation but I would think that a passport has date and place of birth, and you could supplement it with a statutory declaration. Worst case scenario you can always call the general immigration phone number and ask for advice. Good to see that there is movement again. All the best.- 3,180 replies

Once you have completed all the requirements such as medicals, police checks and completed AOS bond, you will get to make a payment for the 2nd VAC. As far as I know the amounts haven't changed. It should be $87,200 for both parents.- 3,180 replies

Not too sure at all. I personally haven't come across anyone who has used other payment options. You could try and ask the case officer once the 2nd VAC request is received. All the best.- 3,180 replies

The options given are credit card/paypal/BPay. If you are expecting the request to come through soon, transfer the required funds from overseas into your Australian bank account and BPay from your local bank account. There are no charges for this payment method.- 3,180 replies

And after a long wait (having patience has paid off), we have received the email to confirm that the visa has been approved. Good luck to everyone here and I cannot thank members of this forum enough in keeping each other up to date and for being so helpful. All the best.- 3,180 replies

Hi Gavin. Offshore, which means getting to Melbourne will be another struggle when visa is granted but let's cross that bridge when we get there.- 3,180 replies

Just an update for everyone. We have received the request to pay 2nd VAC yesterday. The email came through after months of inactivity, and we're thrilled. Now working to get the funds ready, and will be able to make the payment sometime next week. All the best to everyone here.- 3,180 replies
