Parent visa application timelines (143 & 173)

[Taswegians2B]

Linda, I already know that I’m going to be checking that queue every month for the foreseeable future, and trying not to get too depressed if it doesn’t tick along well! Sue

Looks like it! Immi have said that applications up to June 2018 (I think!) will have their queue date as the date of lodgement. After that they will be assessed and then given a queue date. I’ve just tried using my lodgement date of 21 June 2017 and it says 22900 in front. But if you try after 30/6/2018 it says there are no visas in the queue presumably because those applications will be assessed then given a queue date
 

So for my date with 22900 in front at today’s cap of 6000 It means I have a further wait of 3.81years ! But at least they are going to update every month and there may be some dropouts etc but at last  it gives people with contributory parent visa applications an idea of their eventual processing date - this has been sadly lacking in the past and should now bring clarity to the situation 
 

 

Where is the queue calculator please

Thank you

It's always applicants from what I know.

So queue = applicants

Cap = applicants

Guys The automated mail now does not show the message which it was showing earlier that processing of parent visa application is continuing however finalisation of visashave been put on hold?does that mean it is a good news?

If they removed the message might well be they start granting visas

No idea what this means.

I hope it means that the processing will be as nornmal. Although, I doubt it. Mainly because people can't really fly in and out of most countries freeely as yet.

I've created a more detailed report (143's only) using the same data. It shows the number lodged each day and a cumulative total so you can see how many are in the queue ahead of you.  Obviously this will change every time a more recent currently processing date pops up so I will update and upload a new version as and when I can.  Let me know if you see any typo's or errors.

They are still processing applications but imagine they won’t grant visas until they open their borders.

According to 7news Australia it’s likely to be December 15th this year before international travel will be reintroduced but only for countries considered “Safe” - not sure how that affects UK as we have had largest numbers of deaths In Europe sadly

I've just checked the calculator. It's not showing my lodgement date yet but if I put in 18 June 2018 there are 34770 in the queue.  Another 6 years wait.

I guess there’s some discrepancies on the calculator site. I’ve tried 31/07/2015. There might be backlog or something. have a look.

It says the numbers include reviews. It’s possible that there have been some refusals which are going through appeal?

Hi @Samvaz99 I don't think they are asking anyone to pay the second VAC as they aren't finalising applications to issue visas. I belive this is mainly because the borders are still closed. No international travel is happening at the moment.

Can you please write your timeline in signature?

[Greece]

I suggest all members not to reply to any queries of members who are not writing their timelines in signature. This will compel them to write timelines like other members.

This has been mentioned before and shot down by the moderators. No one is under any pressure to have to put their timeline in their signature. Have you been promoted? What gives you the right to tell people to ignore questions from others so that they comply with your ideal. You can ignore who you want to but don’t try and enlist the help of others. This is a very friendly forum, many are happy to offer help just because they want to. Totally unnecessary comment, you’d do well to climb down from your soapbox.

Why? it’s up to the individual poster to give their details not for other posters to insist. the poster does write that  the application was Jan 2016.
