Thanks Hi Perthpops As I understand it, at the moment they are assessing applications lodged 28 August 2013 so you're not quite there yet. Hopefully they will ask you in the next couple of months Best of luck maisie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest geordie joe Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hi everyone, our application for visa was dispatched to Perth yesterday. How long does it take to become lodged? Hi Geoffandgill Welcome to the waiting room. Depending how you sent it to the immi dept snail mail or tracked shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks for the application to be lodged. Last year they had a massive backlog but appear to be lodging, applying for the payment and sending the formal acknowledgment much quicker now. If you check out the more recent posts you will notice the timelines in members signature strips. Regards Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I have a little question - when it says about making payment by credit card does this only mean credit card or can you use a debit card? I don't have a credit card. Also the bank cheque is that the one where you go into the post office and pay and they fill out the cheque slip to be sent off.

fluffy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Hi fluffy. I'm in the UK at the moment. If your parents would like to discuss their visa strategy with me they can call me at the Go Matilda office in Southampton on 023 80 30 25 25 - I'm happy to have 10 minutes on the phone with them as a freebie. Best regards. Hi Alan thank you you so much for your reply. I have passed the details on to me parents. I do have a slightly random question about when it comes to making payments. (I'm so confused) can I pay by debit card. Or what's the difference between a post office money order and a bank cheque. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest piramida Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hello everybody, Kindly ask anyone if can help. For subclass 173 to 143 do I need fill just one form 47PA. Can I pay application fee with debit MasterCard or must be credit card. Please how much cost application fee. I check on webpage immi.gov.au, but there is not clear for me how much it cost. Thank you very much for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgeman Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hello everybody, Kindly ask anyone if can help. For subclass 173 to 143 do I need fill just one form 47PA. Can I pay application fee with debit MasterCard or must be credit card. Please how much cost application fee. I check on webpage immi.gov.au, but there is not clear for me how much it cost. Thank you very much for any help If you already have a 173 visa you should be completing form 47PT to now apply for the 143. If you look at the first page of form 47PA it does say not to use it if you already have a 173 visa. I assume you are asking whether you need to just fill in one form for you and your partner. If your partner was included on your application for the 173 then yes you only need one form and will include your partner under Part E. Under payment (section 42) it does say that debit cards cannot be used for application made by mail. With regard to charges here is the link: http://www.immi.gov.au/Help/Pages/fees-charges/visa.aspx You might want to double check this for yourself as I am just quoting from the fees page and your circumstances may be different so don’t accept any responsibility I assume you meet condition 19b: 19b This visa is for: an applicant who is the holder of a subclass 173 (Contributory Parent (Temporary)) visa at the time of application; or an applicant who has been the holder of a subclass 173 (Contributory Parent (Temporary)) visa; and is the holder of a substituted subclass 600 visa at the time of application; or an applicant who has held a subclass 173 (Contributory Parent (Temporary)) visa at any time in the 28 days immediately before making the application; or an applicant whose application is combined, or sought to be combined, with an application made by that person. Looks like the initial VAC is $325 plus $165 for your partner. And for the second VAC I assume you meet 19j: 19j The second instalment (payable before grant of visa): Applicant who was the holder of a subclass 173 (Contributory Parent (Temporary)) visa at the time of application: $19 420. – that’s each And remember the fees tend to go up at 1st July, but you usually pay the fees in force at the time of application, so if you get your application to DIAC before then you would probably pay the above regardless of when the application is processed. Hope this helps but please do double check the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
