    A lot of people I see have been mis-interpreting this rule. It's quite clear on the immigration website actually.

    Congratulations!! Are you onshore?

    But on second thoughts why would you do that, instead it's easier to apply for the 870 innit. But the bridging visa does cater to the unknowns - like reduction in caps / pandemics etc.
  4. Arti
    Just out of curiosity - is it possible to change your application from 143 to 864 (when onshore) and be given the same queue date as the original 143? And then move on to a bridging visa... Or am I just being over ambitious

    Here is a thread where you can find some info.

    Here's the calculator Queue calculator

    Has anyone had any success in checking their contributory visa queue number?
  8. Arti
    The number of places in a migration program I.e. budgeted numbers in a year = number of applicants (not applications) Queue number = number of applicants before you This is my interpretation based on everything I have read so far. Can someone more knowledgable on this please shed some light?

    Hi Alan So just considering processing times, overall is the 173 followed by 143 a better option? I was of the impression that the overall processing time remains same..

    Thank you!

    Can you share any relevant site or news where the govt has concluded this analysis? I tried google but didn't find anything. Just curious.

    Depressing news all around
  13. Arti
    Well, yes, you are right. I am trying to find ways to remain positive on the timelines I guess The queue only keeps getting longer. I wonder what led to the massive spike in number of applicants in 2016-2017.
  14. Arti
    Ah right. Also wouldn't the 143 applications also include those that have already secured the 173 and have now applied to transition to the permanent visa? The reason I ask is because on the migration report it states that the number of visa grants does not include those instances where the temporary to permanent conversion happened. I.e. the 173 grants get counted only once.

    This is so good, thank you! Can you please clarify if the cumulative number is the number of applications in queue or the number of applicants (primary+secondary)?

    Hi guys I am doing some ground work for my 870 application. Now as I understand the police clearances for both sponsors and parents need to be submitted for all countries where the cumulative length of stay has been more than 1 year in the last 10 years. I need clarification on below please - 1. If the stay has been 2 months every year, over 6 years - that is classified as cumulative stay of 1 year - is that correct? 2. At what stage of the application do the sponsors need to submit their police clearances? Is this only once the case officer asks for it? 3. At what stage do the parents need to submit their police clearances? Is this only once the case officer asks for it? Thanks!

    You're probably right - need to ask immigration the question I guess. And if the number of outcomes published = number of applications granted (and not the no of people within the applications) then the timelines shouldn't increase exponentially as thought previously!
  18. Arti
    143 is permanent residency, no caveats.

    The calculator is only for 103 and 804 visas - as I understand this covers all non-contributory parent sub-classes there are. I randomly selected a date in mid June 2018 for both visas - total applications queued as of mid June 2018 = 38,920 as per the calculator. This is much less than the number in the migration report for 2017-2018 i.e. 50,642. Am I comparing the right numbers here?
  20. Arti
    Sure, makes sense. Hang in there, look after yourself and enjoy the time you do get to spend with the family. Here's hoping there's light at the end of this waiting game real soon for all of us

    Can imagine how it must feel Linda. So do you plan on applying for the 870? I'm thinking I'll space out the 870 application a little bit so that the 5 years would suffice and we don't have to go through the hassle of having a 90 day offshore gap before reapplying. But then again don't want to delay applying too much considering how uncertain all options can be..!

    Ugh. The bad news doesn't end does it? Having to wait 10 years for parents who don't stop ageing can be agonizing. Wish the government was a tad more empathetic. Not to forget the productive population will age ultimately presenting a bigger problem a few decades down. There needs to be a balance.
  23. Arti
    Ahh right now I get it, thanks Linda! This is great info. So the only hope is if immigration decides to increase the annual uptake for contributory. They are making lots of $ for sure with the 143s which must serve as investments into the public healthcare sector I guess.. Fingers crossed! I'm hopeful, coz there's no other choice. Oh and ofcourse off to getting my 870 sorted.

    Thank you Linda. The statistics are scary and this sure does help with my decision making. It is quite unfair the way the information is relayed to us. Back in 2015 I deliberately waited on, as my parents needed time to wrap their head around the decision and weren't ready to migrate in just 2 years.. You consider the information on the immigration website as gospel and make your life plans around it and things change so dramatically. Also the 8-10 years is now considering they budget to take in the same number of parents every year, which again could change dramatically considering the partner visa applications are sky rocketing every year. Hate the whole uncertainty around this. Ughhh!
