caroline Selwood 0 Posted June 28, 2019 If you have already lodged a 103 visa and had sponsorship approved, can you now go ahead and apply for the new 870 temporary parent visa while waiting. I only have 2000 ahead of me now in queue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VictoriaP 20 Posted July 16, 2019 Applied for 870 sponsorship 29th April - nothing yet.

If I remember correctly there was 15K visas cap annually and its expected that lot of people would be applying for 870 !

My son put his application in on 21st May, paid the fee and we've heard nothing since. I'm hoping we haven't missed the boat!

Lisa De Leon 21 Posted July 22, 2019 According to a Facebook group for Registered Migration Agents, there have not been a lot of 870 Sponsor approvals thus far. Agents were still waiting at beginning of July for sponsorship applications lodged in April. My first application took about 8 weeks. The visas are capped at 15,000 places annually, and I have heard that around 500 sponsorship applications have been lodged so far. 1 Lisa De Leon - Registered Migration Agent MARN 1170616 lisa@australianvisaoptions.com.au www.australianvisaoptions.com.au Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy_ 25 Posted July 25, 2019 I'm trying to lodge the sponsorship application for my parent but something in the application form baffles me. On page 25 where they ask for your employment/income details, they ask for your income for "Period ending 30 June 2018". Shouldn't it be "30 June 2019" as that is when the last financial year ended? Has anyone else noticed this? What information did you put in there if you were applying in July 2019 and later? Thanks.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of people wouldn't have submitted their tax returns yet as they don't have to be in until October, so they wouldn't be able to compare with what the ATO have on record for 2018/19 Scot by birth, emigrated 1985 | Aussie husband applied UK spouse visa Jan 2015, granted March 2015, moved to UK May 2015 | Returned to Oz June 2016 "The stranger who comes home does not make himself at home but makes home itself strange." -- Rainer Maria Rilke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO it is best for the sponsor to lodge the 2019 tax return, obtain the 2019 tax assessment notice, and provide the Department with 2019.
