Dylan2007 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Hi , could anyone answer a question please me and my husband applied for 143 parent visa back in 2018 we are aware of the backlog so are looking into applying for 870 visa for 3 years to take us hopefully up to when the 143 will be through. Is this possible and would our daughter in Australia be able to sponsor us on both visas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only have a maximum of 10 years on 870 You can get an idea of how long you will wait here https://www.gm-parent-visas.com/visa-processing-time-calculator/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Under the current regulations and processing rates 10 years would probably bring you pretty close to a PR grant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan2007 Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 10 years from now? or from March 2018 when we applied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 You could expect 10 years or less from 2018, bearing in mind that processing times are erratic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I applied June 2017 so 5 years ago and expect to have to wait another 5 years Edited May 24, 2022 by LindaH27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
