So quite a few more years I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try and find link. This told me that my June 2017 application likely wouldn’t be processed until January 2027!! Note that May/June 2017 alone had 9000 applications. 9000 /3600 annual grants means 2.5 years just to get through those two months alone !!

Gaz59 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 Sorry just seen it and calculated I'm gutted and there's no loophole, unless you wait and apply for an onshore aged parent visa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going up next July to 67. How old are you now because that may determine when you can apply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 So why isn't everyone using Marisa's loophole. Just sell up everything and come out on tourist visa. As soon as you are in Oz apply for the parent visa onshore and get a bridging visa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulip1 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 So incredibly silly for the system to allow it. Quite unbelievable really that they seem happy to accept elderly people making up a ‘I’m on holiday’ story on a landing card to get in and then never leaving. You really can’t blame people for taking up the fabulous offer when it’s legal to do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly does, but I can think of a few things outside of immigration, that make a mockery of 'the system'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what goes on under the the radar or around the subject that seems to really matter in influencing outcomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
