Good luck to the others waiting, as at least we know now they saved us a place !

wow A big congratulations!! you absolutely deserved it!!!!!!

Hi Appreciate if you anyone could share if you have received the request for 2nd VAC payment last few weeks and Also if anyone who received a letter from department regarding the Temporary concession last week? The letter has mentioned the visa application has been released from the queue, does that mean the application will be included in this financial year Quota?

Thank you in advance!

As I suspected. Extended date for medicals and police checks are for people who have received second VAC.

To date we have had no emails from our case officer except emails to provide more information. When we asked for update its just a long silence and then again an email asking for more information. 

did you hear more from Immigration officer today after you sending email? Thanks

Also I hear from other members of the group that the temporary temporary concessions are not just the grant of visa onshore but also:
- 3 months extension for police
- 6 months extension for medicals
But these were only offered to the people who got second VAC possibly. 
Some of my parents police checks are already expired and have not been asked to supply them yet. 

yeah i heard  about it but i think its case by case. who knows. hopefully we all hear some good news soon.

My parents are 50/50
Mom is here. Dad is in NZ with my sister. 
He was suppose to get back on 21 March 2020. If my memory serves me well. they closed the borders on 20 March 2020 here in OZ.
The letter is sent to the applicants who have got second VAC and to the people whose application is being processed at the moment. Perhaps not to 'all'.

I hope you are right. Do you  get 2 emails at the same time from the same email address or different time ?

 thank you

Yes I got that letter.
I also got letter yestrerday from the PVC about doing medicals again fpr my Dad as I posted yesterday. 
Emailed IMMI asked why the medicals are needed again since they are valid for 1 year. Wiating for response. 

I see. So are you parents onshore ? I guess all the onshore applicants receive the email but it doesn’t really say much.

I am not sure about it. But an explanation of why they want another health Examination before it expires will be useful. Anyway I have sent them an email saying that Health examination is < 12 months old and Dad signed the 815 form as they asked. I am going to contact the clinic in NZ to make sure they submitted everything for my Dad.

Hi @MELBNGSM,  Have  you received any letter from Immigration department? I have received one email today but i  think its standard email they sent to  everyone  for the  applicants are onshore. its regarding the  temporary concession for  certain parents Visa applicants.

Hi @Deniseli0612
No news as of yet. I will send a message in the forum as soon as I hear something. 
If I dont hear anything this week I need to apply 600 visa for mom. Just preparing my Dad's visa extension DOCS for NZ at the moment because they gave him a deadline of 5th Feb or they will give him only 2 months extension to prepare to leave NZ. 
Also it will be good if you can put your timeline signature.  

Done and hopefully you will hear some good news soon.

I understand you frustration and same here. My parents need to renew their 600 visa next month and I think health check and police check will expire soon too.
