Elle Kay Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Applied August 2016. Heard nothing until June 2022. June 2022 medicals and police checks done. it took until August 2022 before my Assurer was contacted. subsequently….. Centrelink somehow overlooked the AOS and accompanying finance! This led to another delay while my Assurer tried to contact them. Hardly satisfactory and if I hadn’t been concerned about the length of time it was taking I would still be waiting. Now my Assurer has a letter confirming finance etc and centrelink should (should…) tell Immi. Then it seems that when another month or so has passed I should be asked to make the final payment for the visa to be granted. Fingers crossed.

amsaini15 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Can someone provide detailed information on what additional information Immi request when they pickup your file first time after several years? As I understand they request Police check, Health check, AOS. Is there anything else we need to complete and send back. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish it was ! Sadly I’m stuck in June 2017 with the 9k applications!! it’s going to take 12 months plus to get through those two months alone unfortunately unless next years budget is further increased to take account of that massive number and allow the queue to progress for those afterwards. But I really am so pleased it’s finally moving for everybody’s sake as it’s been hard for many who believed the website’s info about projected wait times !! I still get the odd one or two accusing me of making it up about the long wait why would I when I’m stuck in the same queue?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manrug Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 When we applied, like everybody else we thought it would take no more than 2 years. After nearly 6 years of wait we are different people to what we were then. The main factor is after 60 we age quicker as years pass by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure if they solve the same purpose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiK Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Hello Everyone. Thanks for this thread and hope this info helps others. Applied 143 on 28/11/2016 Acknowledged 30/11/2016 Request for AoS, Medicals, PCC 12/09/2022 Requests actioned/submitted 26/10/2022 Awaiting 2nd VAC request and visa grant - will update. My experiences AoS was straightforward. A few of my documents were up and down so it got a bit delayed. If your application date is not far from mine and in the next 6 months, I would suggest doing research on application process and documents required. Lodged application through myGov, asked to physically go into centrelink to prove identity. Once ID checked, next day got an SMS saying "someone from centrelink will call in the next 10 minutes from private number, please answer" - this is good from Centrelink as I ignore many private number calls. Phone interview conducted, my fellow was helpful and said next few days you should received bank guarantee request. He also gave me a direct number for AoS team. CBA bank guarantee was abit tricky for me as rural branch staff never done one before, so also good idea to pop into local branch to make an enquiry. I had to make some enquiries along the way and I just rang the direct number provided - depends on who receives the phone - some say for enquiries you should call general line and others were super helpful in answering questions. Even though not required, I uploaded AoS acceptance letter. PCC - had to organise India, Kenya and Australia. Kenya was straightforward. Australia as applicants are not usually residents here, gathering documents was abit tricky, but ring the AFP number and they will go through the foreign documents that will be accepted. I did plan for this a long time ago by getting applicants to organise bank accounts with online access and debit card and that way a bank statement with address and debit card + foreign passport would suffice. India PCC is very hit and miss. We had to go through High commission in Nairobi so we kept enquiring and it came through but my understanding is the process is different each place. If you apply from outside India then the application is referred to your local police station in India and until they provide clearance PCC can't be issued. For all PCC (esp for India) - If your application date is not far from mine and in the next 6 months, I would suggest perhaps organising and applying for these documents now before being asked. My understanding is that they are valid for 12 months! There was a delay in organising the PCC so we had to ask for extension. I uploaded what I had by the due date and for the remainder of documents - I wrote a letter explaining situation and provided evidence of application and asked for another 28day extension. There was no reply granting extension! I uploaded remaining document within the next 28days. Form 929 new passports. When applicants got new passports, I did email this form to 929 email however it appears they did not reach WA Parent Centre - presumably as it is a paper application! Request documents that came through had old passport details. So I reattached these forms. 1 bizzare thing was no request for Biometrics even though on initial paper application was marked as residents of Kenya which is a biometric country! Has anyone got any experiences in being requested for biometrics? or are they not requesting them from anyone when it comes to 143 visa?

KAK Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Hi All, I read on one of the other forums that this week in the interim Oct budget (following the election of the new government). The government have announced that they are increasing the quota of Parent Visas to be issued in this year (July 2022 to June 2023) from 4,500 (year 2021-22) to 8,500. It has been updated here: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/what-we-do/migration-program-planning-levels Sounds like people who filed in 2017 first half should be more hopeful of getting the invites!
