I’m afraid you’ll likely have a rather long wait unless things change in the future as there are large numbers in the queue along with slowed processing and a reduction in the numbers processed due to COVID. The other thread covers all this. I wish I could give you a more positive reply. Edited October 23, 2020 by MajHam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplealster Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) You will be contacted closer to the processing time to provide further information/documents. Unfortunately with your application date, you won't hear from them for about another 4/5 years or more. My mum applied Sept 2016 and we are still waiting and don't anticipate getting the visa for another 2 years at least. All the best.

Guru81 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Someone i know contacted the visa office and enquired about 143 visa processing. He was told that the processing slowed initially to Covid 19 and later because of budget announcement. Post budget announcement they have started processing as per normal. Fingers crossed XXXXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaH27 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 And there’s a view that the 4500 grants allowed from June 2020 will be used up very quickly as many people have provided docs and paid AOS but still waiting for 2nd Vac and /or grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
