Sadly I think you will have to pay for quarantine if it is still compulsory when you fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It varies in which state is your destination . In Perth all international arrivals have to pay unless they get an exemption but other states give an exemption if you booked your flight before the paid quarantine came into force and the airline cancelled your flight, but if you cancel the flight no exemption n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BargeUK Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 On 14/09/2020 at 13:36, vikas d sudame said: it is clear from the migration programme report that almost 2000 less places are granted in parent category 143 visa.........up to 30 th june.......that means applications pending from may 2016 on wards will take more time than expected.so be prepared for further delays applied 143 7th sept 2017 ack.20th sept.2017 . Could I just ask please - have you read this somewhere or is it just your opinion? Everyone who applied in May 2016 appears to have been asked for and completed their paperwork/further documents so, hopefully, won't have to wait substantially longer than previous applicants who have had their applications assessed but not yet finalised. I understand they are processed in date order so obviously the wait will be longer than for March/April 2016 applicants..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everybody in May 2016 will have been asked - not everybody is on this forum! Up to June 2020 only 3730 Contributory Parent visas out of a possible 6000 have been granted. The number that applied in May 2016 will take a long time to be processed when there were still huge numbers waiting at end financial year June 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant everyone who posts on here with a May 2016 application date and those in the visa tracker showing as having applied in May 2016 appear to have been asked for further documents. I do understand that only a tiny fraction of all applicants are on this forum - my bad............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikas d sudame Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 my observations are based on the migration report published for the year 2019..2020.....the report indicates that department has issued approximately 2500 visas less and hence applications lodged in the year 2017 ..2018....will take more time.

GranMartha Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hi everyone, newbie poster hoping for some advice with regard to 143. We have completed all of our paperwork, health checks etc and are now waiting in limbo for 2nd Vac request like many others. Sadly though during this pandemic, our small business has been decimated, and we have had to rely on our savings, as were not eligible for government support or furlough, which means we no longer have the full funds available to make payment when requested and will have to rely on the sale of our house. Would anyone know whether you can request an extension of time to pay for the 2nd Vac when it is eventually requested or must payment be made within 28 days of the request? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t you arrange either a bank loan or 2nd mortgage on the sale of your house presuming you have a large equity in the property 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst it’s a good guide it’s not an accurate guide - although it was never meant to be.- Biggsy was trying to help everybody get an idea of where they were in the queue and it was very helpful. Fir instance in that report my date of application in June 2017 shows 18606 in front of me - however the queue calculator ( which is still not being updated after crashing in early June) shows I have 22900 in front of me - a difference of 4294, The way they’re granting Visas nowadays, that adds another extra year so I think I have an estimated further 4 or more years wait - which is horrendous ! I get so annoyed when I see on social media that some Agents flatly deny that the wait will be any longer than 4 years for NEW applicants 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without wishing to cause more pain, see my post just above, where the actual number according to Immi’s own calculator was higher than that in Biggsy’s post. I think we just have to forget about it and just carry on living our lives as they are now otherwise we will get too depressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikas d sudame Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 very true.......this difference in nos. may be due to the change in policy to allow parent visa 103 applicants to switch over to 143 ,maintaining their original lodgment date of 103.
