SusieRoo Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Good to see 143s now moving up to June 2016, but what’s happen to the 173s? Anyone else on a 173 with February or March lodgement and still waiting? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the test email thing this morning and they are ‘officially’ processing up to 16th Feb for both 173 and 143 visas. I hope you hear something soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMichellle Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Hi, I have been looking out for news for 173 applications also. Was hoping it was because there are so few of us that I hadn’t seen any movement on here, so this is rather depressing news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending a blank email to parents@homeaffairs.gov.au with something in the subject line.... it sends you an auto response with details about parent visa categories and their timelines something like this - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mygov website keeps crashing and Centrelink overwhelmed with enquires. Immigration will also be very very busy with temporary visa enquires etc., keep safe everyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueLee Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Dear all Yes, let’s not add more trouble into the already crashing myGov centerlink site. In this incredible period, give them time. Do our part. Stay indoor. Keep Physical social distancing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not much point in hassling them anyway. The Prime Minister is saying the emergency measures will be in place for at least six months and possibly longer. So even if your parent visa gets approved, you will not be able to get a flight to enter Australia for several months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mygov website keeps crashing and Centrelink overwhelmed with enquires. Immigration will also be very very busy with temporary visa enquires etc., keep safe everyone I agree with Kath, when Australia imposed travel ban on China, immigration office stopped issuing 2nd vac request and permanent visa to all offshore Chinese applicants. There are exceptions, but I am not going into details here. With the latest border closure, I assume all offshore 143 applications are now on hold, people might still hear from their case officers asking additional docs etc, but there will be very few 2nd vac requests and visa grant notices. I hope everyone stay safe, follow the social distancing rules and avoid gathering. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Maybe we'll start to see 864's being processed again ... the Government could do with the 2nd VACs, don't you think? Best regards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
