Fcis999 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hi All, I have applied for 143 for my family in Dec 2016 and then recently applied for the temp 870 visa and got it. Will that affect my outcome for the 143 visa ? as I am still waiting and I find it confusing. It mentions here https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/contributory-parent-143 that "not have a Sponsored Parent (Temporary) (Subclass 870) visa when applying for this visa". Not sure if that gonna apply on my parents in that case or not? Any help please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you applied for the 143 first( as you have) you can then get an 870, but not the other way round. Meaning you can’t get a 870 first then apply for a 143. We are in the same position applied for 143 in March 2016 then got a 3 year 870 last October. We supplied our AOS inFebruary which was accepted then came lockdown. Hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more question, can they get it while they are onshore? Is contacting you for the AOS is the first step after applying? what is the following steps?

This took my son a few days to organise as he had to visit centre link and the Commonwealth Bank. It was a couple of weeks after that that we got our AOS approval. We are on shore but would need to be offshore when the 143 is granted. The finalisation of our visa has been delayed until we can travel to trigger the 143. Hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann.J Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Just curious as to how long you're expected to remain offshore? Are we talking days, weeks or months? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go to the nearest international airport outside of AU and be back the next day. It's all about going through immigration in AU really to get your visa validated.

If you are lucky that may be whilst you’re on the flight but don’t count on it. I’d always recommend giving them a week or so. It’s nothing to do with returning to ‘validate the visa’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you both for replying. A week is perfect for a little holiday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
