Thank you so much @NATHALIA you are very kind. I wish our parents will be with us as permanent residents soon.

Can I ask few more doubts, please?

1) As a sponsorer, I am submitting a birth certificate, passport, tax return, employment letter, copy of my PR. is there anything else I need to submit? also, do I need to attest all copies?

2) My siblings are submitting their birth certificate, passport, and copy of their visa. Did you submit any other documents apart from these?

  @Marisawright I know it is unfortunate but what other option do we have. All we can do is apply and hope for the best.

Hi @kamal.610

1) For my brother (Sponsor) we only completed Form 40 and attached the following supporting documents (all Certified copies by a JP): Australian Passport; Citizenship certificate and Birth Certificate. - Part Q of the 47PA form has the checklist of documents required. (We did not include tax returns or employment letters).

2) I submitted the same as my brother: Certified copy of my Australian Passport; Australian Citizenship certificate and Birth Certificate.

Same here Kamal, we are hoping for the best and looking forward to having our parents.

FYI there is currently an Senate inquiry to review the processing times for some visas including parents visas; my brother did a submission and the reporting date is next week 10th August 2021 so there is supposed to be some recommendations/results by then.

Hi Guys,

Have you submitted your 143 visa applications? Could you please help me with my doubts as I am about to apply now?

1) Do I need to fill form 47A even though I am a sponsorer?

2) Does my mom need to fill form 47A separately? I have filled form 47pA and added her details in part F.

3) My sister is an Australian citizen. Does she need to fill form 47A?

4) what did you fill in "Main Visa Applicant's file number" on form 47A?

5) My brother is in Australia. He is waiting for a 190 permanent visa grant. He is not dependent on my parents. Does he need to fill form 47A?

5) Question 13 of form 47pa - do you need to fill in the details of those who are already in Australia like me?

The question is have you or any members of your family previously been to australia?

I will be very grateful for the answers above. 

Hi @kamal.610

In my case, my parents (Mom and Dad) submitted an application. We are 2 (not dependant) children both Australian Citizens - and my brother is the Sponsor.

1). My brother (sponsor) only completed Form 40. He did not complete Form 47A.

2). We completed form 47PA with my father as Primary applicant and my Mom as secondary applicant. We included my mothers details under 'Part F - Details of partner'. We did not complete Form 47A for my Mom.

3). I did not do 47A as their daughter.

4). We did not do any 47A - so not sure.

5) We did not do any 47A also I am not sure about 190 visas or your specific situation - so not sure.

6) Question 13 - we only included my parent's visas details (eg. they previously held Tourists visas - we did not include details of our visas (children's who are already citizens).

Hope this helps, again this is how we completed the forms, If you want more specific advise I'd suggest to engage a Migration Agent.

Hi, I'm in the exact same situation right now, about to apply for both parents. Just to confirm, I only need to fill out on Form 47PA and just include both mum (secondary) and dad (primary) on it. Bo separate forms? Also, in that case, the additional applicant charge will apply, which is AUD 1400 in their case. What is the second installment amount that will need to be paid?

Hi @KritikaB - Yes, we completed form 47PA with my father as Primary applicant and my Mom as secondary applicant.

We included my mothers details under 'Part F - Details of partner' and Part H only listed their Children. Total cost payable on application in our case was $4,155 + $ 1,400 = $5,555 (plus the fees for credit card payment online) - Its a very long wait until we are required to pay the second instalment (Over 5 years or more) the website says they will send an Invoice. 

Good luck with the application !

Hi Everyone, 

My brother has completed Form 40 'Sponsorship for migration to Australia' for our parent's 143 Visa.

My brother's wife has signed 'Part M – Your partner’s approval'

Would my brother be able to also be the Sponsor of his wife's parents if they decide to apply for the 143 Visa in the future (ie. maybe after 10 years, once our parents visa gets processed)?

Hi Nathalia

We applied for our 143 in August 2019 & had an agent complete the forms (Form 47PA). My husband is main applicant & I only had to complete Part F. - Details of Partner. Part H was filled with our children's details only, so in answer to your question, I would say no. Would love to know how they get on. The waiting is killing us!! We received acknowledgement of lodgement in Sept 2019 & are now in the queue & probably have another two - three years to wait. Not sure if the current situation with Covid is affecting new applications. Hope this is helpful

Thank you so much @Jo Newbie!! Im sure the wait will test our patience but it will be worth it!

Hi @NATHALIA - My situation was similar to yours. No you do not have to fill 47A for your mum, because her details would come under the "Part F - Details of Partner" of the form 47PA. So the only forms applicable for you would be 47PA and 40 (Sponsorship form) and 956 (optional if you want to be the point of contact for them).

Hope this helps.

Thank you @Sherlock!

My parents are applying for a VISA 143 - Contributory Parent visa

My father is the Main applicant and my Mother is also migrating with him. They do not have any dependents; they live just by themselves. (Their only children are my brother and I, we are both Australian Citizens, not dependent).

We have completed Form 47PA and included my mothers details under 'Part F - Details of partner'

My question is:

- Do we need to again include my Mother's details under Part H  Question 57- 'Members of the family unit aged 18 years or over'? Do we need to complete a Form 47A  for my Mother?

I hope someone who has recently submitted an application for this Visa can help with this doubt. 

Thank you!
