Dora1234 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Hi everyone, I applied for visa 143 for my parents on the 15th October 2015, received letter requesting for Assurance of Support (AOS) and after submitting the AOS, it was written on the letter that should have response by 6th September from Centrelink. So I am counting down for the time. Hopefully can get a response from Centrelink by the due date provided and have the visa by October this year!

Hi Karu1, They send a letter to my Centrelink account which confirming should have response from them before 6th September. Perhaps you should check yours Centrelink message (it doesn’t shows on Centrelink app but it will show on Computer.) They will even text you to your mobile when they needed to call you to confirm your AOS after the due date “A Department of Human Services - Centrelink Service Officer will call you today from a private number. Please answer this call. Do not reply by SMS.” This is what they texted me, unfortunately, I missed the call (private number) as I was oversea and have rang them to ring me again. Hopefully will receive their call this week. Note: If you missed the call, make sure you ring them 132 850 AOS support team. Or else you have to wait for a few more weeks for their call. And also check your Centrelink to ensure you allowed for email, text message, or phone calls or else they won’t be able to send you any confirming letter. My friend applied 4 months earlier than me and her parent got the visa. She advised that after the phone call for AOS should be paying the first instalment in the next few weeks and she paid for second instalment a few days after the first instalment, after second instalment, the next day her parent visa was granted. Hope this will help. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kari 1, like you we received our email requesting docs on the 6/8/2019 and my son and daughter in law completed the Aos application on the 9/8/2019... they were told it would be completed by the 20/9 but so far have received nothing. They checked their centerlink account and email. I think a lot of us have completed our paperwork and are now just waiting again. It would be nice to hear of someone from October or November that have had their Aos payment request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florafilan Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I've received the request for payment - see my timeline. I called up centrelink to confirm receipt of aos application 2 weeks after lodgement. The centrelink lady confirmed receipt and says they should be giving me a call after the lodgement. She did something on the account and I received the call/interview the following week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be so nice to know how long we have to wait.... even if it was another couple of months, it’s the not knowing that’s so frustrating. Everyone seems to have gone so quiet.

Michael S Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Damn it!! I have just missed a call from a "no caller ID" Hope it was not a centrelink call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean T Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Micheal, Are you applying for the Aso for your parents? Only asking as it’s the sponsors who get the call ... not every applicant even has an interview. Hopefully it was just a call from someone wanting to sell you something.

Hi Jellybean, yea I am the sponsor and applying for the AOS for my parents. It's good to know not everyone gets a phone interview....

redtour Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Hi all, Just my 2 cents worth...I lodged the AOS with Centre Link on 3rd Aug 2019, on myGov the estimated date of completion was 16th Sept....checking everyday can be soul destroying! Finally after nearly 8 weeks Centre Link sent me a letter requesting a phone interview. The interview was very straight forward they basically just check your personal details... took about 10 mins maximum. The interview was on a Thursday, the following Monday I had a letter in the post to arrange the bank guarantee with Commonwealth Bank...just a note when you go to CBA have $150 cash ready if you don't already bank with them...this is the fee they charge to set up the fixed term desposit account. Make sure you find a staff member who is familiar with the process as I had a rookie (less said about that, the better)!!! You have to upload the centre link letter and bank docs on mygov/centrelink, it's not very clear on the steps you need to follow but use the number centrelink give you for the interview to ask any questions, to be fair CL were very helpful. So i'm now waiting for CL to inform immigration and hopefully request the 2nd VAC, anyone know how long this takes? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Finally after nearly 8 weeks Centre Link sent me a letter requesting a phone interview." Was this letter in the post or email or in your inbox on myGov? Today I am on 10 weeks since applying for AOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
