Hi,
I had a question regarding the 2nd VAC payment. My mom applied for 143 in February 2016. I was a dependent on her as I was under 18 at the moment of the visa lodgement. At the time, they said that I had to pay $ 2,000 something for the 2nd VAC payment and my mom to pay the full amount. However, now they are saying that I have to pay the full amount for the 2nd VAC payment, I am 20 now. They never mentioned at the beginning of the process that if the 2nd VAC payment was asked once I was over 18, that I would have to pay the full amount. They even signed a document that mentioned all the payments that we needed to make. Does anyone have any experience with a similar situation? I had a friend who had a similar situation and they didn't get told that (unfortunately I don't have their contact to ask them more questions ).
