We're in the queue for 143 visa but given it's still a long way from being granted we are considering switch to 804. We are in Australia on 651 for 7 weeks. I know we put 804 application in, get bridging visa A and need to apply for bridging visa B before retuning to UK to pack up/ sell up. We completed all the forms again (for 804) but wondering if anyone can help with a couple of queries please? 1. When we submit 804 application and payment, how long does it take to be granted BVA? 2. When we then apply for BVB, how long does it take for that to be granted? Also, not related to the application, but if we eventually sell investment properties in UK and buy investment properties here, is the FIRB application fee the $5,600 shown on their website (per property under 1mill) or is that just to find out how much the FIRB fee is for the property you're buying? And does FIRB fee still apply if you buy new-build? I checked their website but can't work it out. Thanks in advance.

Are British passport holders required to take this test and if yes, at what stage in the application process do you do it? Our 143 contributory parent visas were acknowledged in Oct 2017. Many thanks

Hi All, We applied for a 143 Contributory Parent visa and have received a letter from immigration last week, detailing my Mother has not met the health requirements due to her chronic bronchiectisis and the cost this may incur on the Australian community services/health care system. Specifying the applicant does not meet PIC 4005 (1) (c) (ii) (A) in schedule 4 to the Migration Regulations. Immigration have given us 28 days to comment. Her ongoing medication is of little cost, she’s sees her respiratory consultant once every 6/12 months and has been admitted to hospital in England only once in the last 10 years. Any advice? Any Immigration agent/lawyer recommendations that have helped others form a response? Thanks in advance.
