Gannicus Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hi All, I need some help and advice please. The situation at my part has folded quite weird. Please if someone can advice me; a) I applied for my parents visa 864 by mid of Oct. They are on 600 visitor visa which is going to expire by end of this month (oct). Now, as of date, I haven't received any updates, neither the acceptance. I am very much concerned about bridging Visa A as they might become unlawful noncitizens. I am hopeless now despite sending emails and calling immi team several times. What shall I do in this situation ? b) What if my parents stay beyond their date of current 600 visa expiry ? Will the department consider my lodging date and backdate the bridging visa A ? Anyone has experienced this before ? c) I cannot apply again the visitor visa for them as i will be granted a bridging visa for 600. If i get acceptance in the meanwhile 600 is being processed, I have no idea how the system will react here as bridging visa A for 864 wont be issued? My God this is so confusing for me Also please if anyone on this forum who has applied 864 and received bridiging visa A , could you please share your time line how and when it was received ? Was the visa bridging received via post (on paper) or via email ? Would really appreciate if anyone who can help me with this. Havent got any replies from immi teams or agents too.

LindaH27 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Does the 600 visa have condition on saying no further stay? A lot do. If so I think you can’t apply for another visa until you’ve had that condition waived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannicus Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hi Linda, I have already applied for 864 as on their 600 visa , they had no condition of "no further stay" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammygirl Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Did you receive any acknowledgment? Was payment taken for the application? You really need someone to examine your case in detail and expect to pay for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt receive any acknowledgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards. Hi Alan, I do regret on this certainly but due to some worst experiences in the past, I decided not to. All I can do now is to get a little piece of help from such plate-forms. Atleast to make my nerves calm. It feels like drowning in ocean with no help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If payment has not gone through then the application has not been lodged properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rammy, It was a paper based application but payment made from immi account (online). It is called pre-pay payment. Its an advance payment made before lodging application. Deducted from my bank account but showing as "credit" in the immi account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Mm surely if payment has been taken it wouldn’t be showing as credit. Did you track the post or send by courier? Are you sure they actually received the application? When you spoke to them what did they say exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was a registered post and is received by department. Its confirmed they received it. I just spoke to immi general enquires, but they are not giving me a definite reply. Telling/speaking from their own website. No-one is sure about it I legally applied being on a valid visa for another visa. Should it be a online immi application, i would've immediately receive BVA. Now its paper based, i have no clue and no-one to help me either very frustrating now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Once you have successfully lodge application, then the bridging visa A should immediately come into effect when visa 600 expire. You can check status using VEVO the date after visa 600 expire to see if there is any bridging visa A in effect. If not, you can apply for bridging visa A separately https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/bridging-visa-a-010#About You can also apply for visa 600 again, then if you get acceptance for visa 884, just have to submit form to cancel the application for 600 before the new 600 get approve. Advise is only from my speculation though, not expert. Edited October 26, 2020 by cglcb1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 1 hour ago, BigJoe said: Why can you not give advice or help? Short answer: because if an individual chooses to roll the dice and lodge an application without taking professional advice it's on his or her head if the application doesn't go as planned. Professional advice that is worth having is worth paying for. IMHO. Best regards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
