Hi Sue Congratulations on your visa! and thanks for sharing the information. I've applied end of June for Sponsorship 870 and I was asked for more info on the 14th of Aug (AFP certificate and receipt of my tax payment). Submitted everything in 2 weeks and still waiting (so about 12 weeks since I applied). Could you please let me know what documents you attached for the second stage of visa 870? (except for IDs and police clearance) and which insurance company and what type of insurance you picked? I'm pregnant at the moment and I'd like to have my parents here with me before my due date All the best, Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest calling the AOS line at this stage as you've not heard anything for a month since your last com from them. The only additional documents I was requested to provide during the process was evidence of my relationship with my son - I provide a copy of his birth certificate and then later on evidence of Health Insurance. I found a lot of the HI Companies didn't know what I was talking about when I requested it be condition 8501 compliant, but I think you'll find the larger ones do. I went with BUPA in the end $150 a month for standard cover. They immediately provide you with a letter of evidence (quoting compliance to 8501) so that you can upload to your IMMI application. One day after their receipt of that I was granted my visa. The number my son used to call the AOS agents when there was a delay was 1800571922. Once he knew what they needed, he was able to provide the info and following receipt of that he was granted approval. Congratulations on your pregnancy and wish the best of luck in getting your mum n dad over in time for them to be of use to you!!

Hi Alan, have I used the wrong terminology? Sponsorship maybe? I really thought it was one and the same thing! I know we're all dabbling in the art and you're a master Happy to be corrected Changing the subject, I'm pretty sure I will be in touch at some point over Aus vs UK tax rules/laws re pensions. Discussed some time ago. Cheers, Sue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Yes, sponsorship of an 870 visa is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Home Affairs, not Centrelink (which oversees the AoS process with permanent parent visa applications). Looking forward to hearing from you re tax issues - feel able to telephone or to ping a private message to me. Best regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anks Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 A question to all who have been granted the 870. The 3 years - when does the 3 years start? Is it at the grant of visa OR first arrival? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Collett Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 No, that's not what you asked - respectfully. The legislative requirement is to demonstrate the sponsor has at least the minimum level of taxable income for the most recently completed tax year. Whether you have proved this - we can't say.

My concern is the definition of a 'genuine visitor' for the Visitor visa, as obviously there is the intent to stay longer as per the 870 visa, if approved. Thanks for your help.

However he was not willing to open my file first. But he accepted to do so when I explained my situation and asked him to check out if they have received the information that the officer required. Actually agents on the phone couldn't be very helpful as they have a very limited access to files. All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hi, I got sponsorship approval a month ago and now i am in the process of applying visa for my parents. I have a question related to the online application. It seems that I can only put one parent in one application? Is that correct or am i missing something? I can't find a way to put the name of both my mum and dad both in one application. Please help. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Alan, really appreciate your help. Can they still submit both applications using one immi account? Or both of them need separate immi accounts as well. Sorry if it’s too much detail to ask on forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
