  1. My parents' 143 visas were granted this morning. Since I am onshore, I have to leave before my AFP Check expires in late December for my visa to be granted. Finding return flights to Singapore is a struggle!
  2. Received our 2nd VAC request around 6.45 pm (Brisbane time) today!
  3. I think as an Australian PR you can apply for and be granted a NZ visa quickly (a couple hours to a few days). I applied for a NZ visitor visa late last year and it took over 1 month to process :( . If the 143 visa is only activated when we leave the border, my concern is that that might not be enough for us to buy plane tickets to NZ. Would be so expensive and difficult to find plane tickets to my home country as well!
  4. Only 3 months? Do you know if you are allowed to travel to NZ with an inactive visa 143 when the border opens? Would you need to apply for a NZ visitor visa or any other permit?
  5. @Alice___ we have the same application date. Have you heard anything?
  6. @Aaron88 We emailed PVC yesterday asking for progress since our last submission of documents in June 2020, and an officer replied saying applications are continuing and we will be notified when they reach the next stage.
  7. Thank you, I sure hope so. The requests being out of date order worry me quite a bit to be honest, since there doesn't seem to be a consistent trend to look out for.
  8. Could anyone confirm that there seems to be a trend of UK applicants getting 2nd VAC requests in the last few days? I am not from the UK. Edit: sorry I was just informed that the forum probably has more UK applicants than other countries. Please ignore!
  9. Thank you! Can I also ask if only a particular person can pay, for example only the sponsor or the main applicant? We are hoping that I would be able to pay from my account as the dependant applicant.
  10. @Kathss56 can I please ask if this is different from the BPay function in online banking that is used to pay electricity, water bills etc in Australia? Can't I pay directly using BPay from my Australian bank account, with a BPay number on the 2nd VAC request if there is any?
  11. How absolutely thrilled for you! @LBee My family often joke about how we must be some of the few people who would actually be happy when we are asked to pay such significant amount of money
  12. Thank you, that is very assuring! Maybe he can do a short term graduate diploma?
  13. Hi everyone, I haven't been active in the forum but have been watching everyone's progress closely. I am a dependant applicant in my parents' 143 application (my sister is the sponsor). Our visa acknowledgement date is 4 March 2016. Our AOS was approved in March 2020 and we submitted further documents for my dependancy in early June 2020, and have been waiting for 2nd VAC request ever since. My parents are currently offshore while I am in Brisbane, studying my Master. My 23rd birthday is fast approaching, so it has been quite stressful waiting for THAT email. Hopefully we will hear something soon. Thank you everyone for keeping us posted.
  14. Hi all, just received request for further documents today for my parents' visa 143 - acknowledgement letter 4 March 2016!
