Thanks. Did you have to send the 2nd VAC receipt to them? Also @Everyone please make sure to upload the original Bank Guarantee request with the Bank Guarantee from the bank to CentreLink otherwise your Bank Guarantee may not be transferred to the correct place. I selected Financial under Upload Category by the way.

Hello everyone, My updates: Application Received: 15 Jun 2016 Request AOS, Medicals and Police Cert: 7 Feb 2022 Medicals examination done on 8 Feb 2022 AOS Submitted on 8 Feb 2022 AOS Interviewed on 10 Feb 2022 AOS Bank Guarantee Request received on 11 Feb 2022. AOS Bank Guarantee Submitted on 15 Feb 2022 - I didn't prepare for this. Please don't be like me. You need to prepare: - If you don't have any CommonWealth account, please go and create one once they ask for AOS. The GoalSaver account shouldn't cost monthly fee. Later we can skip all the identify checks that waste time. - Transfer money to that GoalSaver account (in my case it is 14k + $50 for my parents) and wait for the Bank guarantee request. - Once received the request, go to CommonWealth with the letter and open the term deposit account. - It cost $150 fee to open term deposit account so bring cash. - The staff will transfer 14k from that GoalSaver account to the Term Deposit account and leave $50 in GoalSaver account (the staff said GoalSaver needs some money in it so I left $50 there). - The bank guarantee will say 5 years in it but don't panic. The staff would explain that it is the maximum terms for a Term Deposit account but there is a condition under it says Subject to renew. So Centerlink can request to renew to another 5 years so total is 10 years. - It's up to you if you want to cancel the GoalSaver account but the interest for the Term Deposit account is paid every 6 months to my GoalSaver account so i keep it. AOS Accepted on 16 Feb 202 but their acceptance email arrived on 18 Feb 2022. AOS Acceptance Letter said they have notified Immi department. Police Certs and AOS Acceptance Letter submitted on 25 Feb 2022. 2nd VAC request on 2 Mar 2022 at 4:30pm. 2nd VAC paid on 2 Mar 2022 using Bpay with ANZ Bank app at 5:30pm. - The maxium Bpay per day is 10k for ANZ but if you install the ANZ app on your smartphone and set up VoiceID (use your voice). You can pay Bpay more than 10k up to 100k per day. ..... As of this moment 3 Mar 2022 12:30pm. No visa granted yet. So I have a question. Do I need to send the 2nd VAC receipt to parents@homeaffairs.gov.au? In the 2nd VAC request, it doesn't say anything about I have to send the receipt to them. The wait to celebrate is soul crushing. 6 years waiting...

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if offshore parents' visa 143 processing are on hold? My parent applications were submitted on 15 Jun 2016, still nothing, no sign of hope :(:(:(

Hi, can someone please please help me with this question? I submitted my parents 143 application in June 2016 by paper (posted to Perth). I am the sole authorised recipient as well as the sponsor. But a lot has been changed since 2016. I have gotten married. I have purchased a property and moved to that new address. I have changed job. I have had a new passport as the old one was expired in Dec 2019. So my question is, how do I inform Immigration about all these changes of the sponsor( which is me) for my parents' application? I know that I can update these details in Immigration Account but because my parent's visa was submitted by paper. It is not appeared in my Immigration account (or anywhere online). Please can someone please help me? We have been waiting so long and I do not want any issues with the application. Thank you so much for all your time.

Hi all, I have a couple of questions regarding my parents visa 143. I live in Australia and I am the nominated person to receive communication and also the sponsor. My parent visa 143 application was sent by me (by AusPost) and was acknowledged received in June 2016. 1. When they request for further documents, what could they be? Are they just Medical check and Police Clearance check? Somebody mentioned Form 80 but if memory serves me right, we have already filled in Form 80 and sent them along with other documents in June 2016. 2. I know that we need to wait for the HAP ID for medical check but what about Police Clearance though? Is Police Clearance Certificate something my parents can get now as I think it is valid for a year? The reason is it may take up to 1 month to get the certificate in my country (sadly). 3. Now my biggest concern: I was single back in 2016 when the application was sent but then I got married in 2018. Do I need to notify my marriage status to Immigration? If yes, how? Because I sent the application by paper, not online, so how do I do this? (I will also move to new address next month so is it something I also need to notify Immigration (even though I am just the sponsor?). My parents information and status are still correct though. 4. Sombody mentioned sending a blank email to parents@homeaffairs.gov.au to receive latest information but I tried many times and I get nothing back. Thank you very much for all your time.
