    Best to keep the sarcasm out of here then Whether the govt does something about this or not, they should be able to make the process a bit more transparent for sure - something as simple as posting the monthly statistics on the website, and/or showing the people their status in the queue. Simple issues that can be resolved with already available technology and manpower. We (Australia) are a "First-World"country after all ... Anyway, as I said, I am simply trying to do something about it by asking questions.

    Well, the whole visa program is under their control, isn't it? Atleast I am trying to contact people who can do something about it... rather than writing unnecessary snide comments here.

    A federal MP (who happens to be elected from my constituency) - would be good if you could raise to yours. We need to make more noise.

    @Marisawright - Don't worry, I've used much formal and better langauge in the email I wrote to the MP - didn't use the word "fake"obviously, but certainly mentioned that those predicted timelines are very misleading, and also that there's absolutely no transparency from the department about any of this etc. etc.

    Sorry for posting this note on both threads - but not sure if everybody checks both the threads or not. Just checking - Has anybody raised these issues (ridiculous wait-times for contributory visas and fake timelines on Govt website ) to any ministers or MPs? I haven't had a chance to go through the whole forum, but just wondering if it has been done before. I have recently spoken to (and also written to ) a certain MP, and I sincerely hope that they will respond. All I'm hoping for is for them to take cognisance of this problem. I know how terrible all politicians are, but this issue needs to be raised with them often - otherwise all of us will wait forever, and any Govt will continue to not act on it.

    Thanks @LindaH27 for the clarification. I'm also in the same boat as @chintu and few others who have anytime applied after July 2018. Just received an "Application Received" email as an acknowledgement, nothing further.

    @LindaH27 & @SusieRoo - Thanks so much for your replies. Alan Collett's chart is certainly very helpful, but ofcourse very shocking. I had really not expected such crazy wait times before joining this forum. When I submitted my application in Nov 2018, I did receive an email about the application being accepted in about 2-3 weeks, but never really received a "Queue Date"as such. No word on any missing documents as well. So I'm as puzzled as many others here... Thank you once again for taking the time out to respond to me.

    Hello Folks! New to this forum, and absolutely amazed at how helpful everyone is on this forum! I'm going through the threads to get as much info as I can, but just a couple of questions - 1 - Seems like there are 2 threads related to Contributory Parent Visa Subclass 143. This thread and the other one called "The Brand New PIO Parents Visa thread". Should I be using any one of them over the other for any particular reason? Just confused a bit... 2 - Applied for 143 in Nov 2018. What's the realistic timeline that I should expect to reach top of the queue? I know it's very hard to predict, but just some estimation based on your experience would be great. Thank you, and Happy New Year!
