maisiedaisy Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 That doesn't surprise me Maisie. Talking to people in banks, medibank, estate agents, as well as the general public - no-one had heard of a 143! When we mentioned how much it cost...... you should have seen their faces. Couldn't believe it! We were lucky to have been given an HAP, so did the medicals early. Petina Same here Petina, I've seen a lot of jaws drop when I've told them how much we have to pay! We were lucky to get our HAP too, because 2 months after we got ours they appear to have stopped doing it maisie xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Petina Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Hi All We have been informed by our agent that immi have asked for Form 80 but this was submitted as requested in Dec 2013. We await developments! They no longer assigned Case Officers and documents are assessed by a team, so we are getting there. Just hope that we don't have to complete Form 80 again as it is a different layout! Will let you know what happens. Regards Petina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMMI "lost" my police check paperwork. I bought new ones then, hey presto, the originals were found! Hope it all works out without having to do it all again.

Regards, Val Hi Val, Yes they are sorting it out and they have been extremely helpful all along. We are just hoping that we don't have to fill it out again, as the new Form 80 is quite different - similar questions, but in a different layout. I daresay that it is easy to 'misplace' forms - they do have a lot of paperwork to get through. (I am being kind!! LOL) Petina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpnuts Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Yep, that is correct but another document on the IMMI site dealing directly with 143's states that the current allocation is meeting demand so there is no waiting list, simply a slow processing time?

Guest piramida Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Hello everybody, I didn't been long time here. Congratulation to everyone who get visa to Australia, and I wish all the best who still waiting. I hold Subclass 173 and I have applied for 143 Subclass. I try to find information on web page how much I have to pay 1st VAC (to be paid at time of lodgement), but there was confused for me. Do anybody know this information how much I have to pay for me and my husband? Do we need policy certificate to send with application, and do we need just fill up one form 47PA for both of us? How long is time waiting for Subclass 173 to 143? Thank you very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliew1499 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Do you think IMMI knows where the fast forward button is? It would just be great to get back to the timescale of 18 months instead of the 21mths plus it's now looking like. Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffy Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hi all, I've not been in here in sometime but looking for any info about parent visas. My parents have put in for the contributory parent visa completing it in 2 stages. Currently they want to withdrawn and put in a new application for the full parent visa. Does anyone know if they are any consequences of with drawing an application and reapplying for another visa? Good of luck to those still waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vava Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hi, If they have applied for the 173 but have now decided to go for 143 they will have to begin the application all over again. They might as well stick to the original plan as it will end up costing more in the long run and take more time. That's assuming I've guessed which visa is already applied for correctly. Let us know if its a different one. Hope this helps, Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
