This was originally a UK site as British  people are referred to as Poms by Australians - hence the name “Poms in Oz.”

Over the years it’s developed into a more worldwide forum but it’s likely there are still more Poms on here than other countries which is probably why you see more UK residents posting. Processing is all done in date order so there’s likely to be people in many other countries who have been granted their visa too. Asia probably has the highest number of parent applications. 

Thanks for the useful info! I am happy for everyone. My time will come later. Anyway, I do not know how to add the signature like you guys but my application is on Feb 2016, not sure about the exact date as the agent did the paperwork.

Congrats to everyone who has just got their visa!!!

I wonder if there is a similarity of countries whose got approved recently. I am seeing that UK residents are the majority...

Hi all,

I am new here. Have everybody noticed that the queue date is up to May 2016? https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-processing-times/family-visa-processing-priorities/parent-visas-queue-release-dates . My application is in Feb 2016 and I am still waiting for the 2nd VAC. I wonder if anyone here who applied before May 2016 got the second call. Cheers.
