George Lombard Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 The Department of Immigration has advised that visa program numbers for Parent Visas are close to being filled for the 2015/16 year and if applicants have not been contacted by a case officer by now, it’s unlikely their application will be assessed in this year's migration program. Allocation dates for final processing for contributory Parent Visas are currently for applications received: Offshore subclass 173 or 143 - 16 May 2014 Onshore subclass 884 or 864 - 7 August 2015 Temporary 173 holders applying for Permanent 143 - 6 November 2015 Temporary 884 holders applying for Permanent 864 - 6 November 2015 Cheers, George Lombard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gypsyowl Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hi George, I'm a CPV applicant, applied in 7/2014. What is the "allocation date for final processing"? Is that the date that the case is opened for a case worker to start working on it? Other question: Currently I am in South Korea and my work contract will end in August. Could I go to Australia on a tourist visa, and when they are ready to approve the CPV leave the country and return to activate the CPV? How long before they approve the visa do I have to be out of the country? Thanks for your help! owl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevvo Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Thanks George for the info supplied while not fully understanding the format for this visa do you know when the allocation for visas lodged in December 2015 will be processed,, every one has a different time frame as to how long the 143 visa is taking to get processed,can you shed any light on this please regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellie23 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hi ya, I'm not a parent but I'm just asking on behalf of my parents. I've been in Australia for 2 years and my parents would like to come and live here also. We would like to know if there's a visa that they could come over to Australia on for a year? Is there a holiday visa that would allow them to stay for a year? Also what is the age for an aged parent visa? The contributory one? if mum and dad came over for a year and decided to go ahead with the parent contributory visa how long is the current processing time taking roughly? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ie a 2 year wait? I've only just started looking into bringing my parents over so trying to establish which is the best visa to go for.

gypsyowl Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 So if my application date was July 2014, and I have not heard from a case worker yet, that means it will be next year (2017) before they start to work on my case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbob007 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 My Wife an I went to an Migration agent seminar in May 2015 and our visa 143 was lodged in June 2015, its now August 2016, when do you think our visa will be granted ?

Guest JimH Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Many thanks for the information. Can you tell me when the new allocation commences. I am not sure if this is the right way to ask for this help or is there another forum I should approach. I am a widower now 73 years of age and wish to emigrate to live with my only daughter in Perth, WA. I lodged my CPV (173/143) application on 2nd September 2014 and have paid the first payment. I believe that my daughter and son in law and I have all the necessary precursors to met the conditions for a CPV apart from the necessary police, medical checks etc. I have been on the official government immigration website and it now appears the waiting time is now in excess of 24 months. From above it appears it could be longer is there anything I can do to expedite my application. Should I apply for a different visa. My daughter wants to approach an agent but I am not sure that they can help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

pat and bill Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Jim, You could save yourself a bit of money as at your age you could apply for the aged parents visa but you would have to be in Australia to apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberta2 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The Productivity Commission report on immigration is worth reading. On the front page of The Australian today. Among other things, it says that parent visas carry by far the greatest cost to the economy of all visa categories. It estimates that the real cost to the taxpayer is between $335,000 and $410,000 per person, while each parent pays only about $47,000. Comment: the Productivity Commission has often been used as political cover for governments wanting to take tough decisions. Its report on aged care, which has led to sharply increased costs for many people, was more or less the template for the final decisions which were agreed to by both major parties. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that this report will have any important consequences. But it could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superman2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Hi guys, I've lodged subclass 143 application on 09/2014. Until now, I haven't received any email from IMMI to request AOS (assurance of support). Do your guys know at which stage they will request the AOS?

superman2016 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I did send a few emails to parents@border.gov.au and received auto-reply emails stated they are processing applications lodged on June 2014. It looks like the processing time is far slower than normal. when I lodge the application, I was told that the processing time may take about 18 months to 24 months. Now, I reckon it may take up to 3 years for applicants who have submitted their applications on 2015. Regards Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
