Garvey Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hi everyone. Applied for 143 visa on 30 June 2015. All documents submitted, police certainly is April 2018, Medicaid in May 2018 and AoS confirmation sent through on 7 August 2018. Our current 457 visa expires at the end of August so in a bit of a state as to what we do. A visitor visa seems to be the only option but at a cost as we need to have an income. We have migration lawyers who I must say are being very unhelpful (dare I say useless). Any updates on visa grants or suggestions 're forward planning?

Garvey Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Anyone had AoS confirmation. How long before 2nd payment request? We sent confirmation letter to immigration 7 weeks ago and not heard anything from them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garvey Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Yes. Been with them from day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Your RMA should receive the relevant requests on your behalf and should be able to advise you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvey Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Our migration lawyers have advised we may not hear until February which would mean our AoS bond would be lodged for six months. Everything else has also been completed so my query was whether anyone else has been in this situation and just how long they had to wait once everything was in place.

wrussell Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 The way applications are currently being managed (or mismanaged) it is not possible to offer reliable advice about processing times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
