LindaH27 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I can't quite see what difference there is after checking this out. Could you explain? The income requirement goes up slightly every year I think and the increase from two to three years for family visas won't affect parent visa which already has a 10 year wait period for benefits surely? @Zaki perhaps you will not hear about visa till immi are processing dates nearer to your lodgement date in May 2015. They are still only processing dates in April but quite a lot of people were asked to prepare things early so maybe as soon as your date nears it will go through quickly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the assures income was always part of the criteria for the AOS. Or is it only now they will be asking for proof and matching this to tax returns?

Is proof by ATO new or have they always asked for this notice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaH27 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) Always needed! Quote taken from their website after AOS was changed in 2006 and going forward ....(last updated July 2017) so still valid The potential assurer must have sustained this income over the two financial years prior to applying to become an assurer, as evidenced by their Income Tax Assessment Notice, issued by the Australian Commissioner of Taxation Im not sure whether this updated AOS will make any difference to parent visas at all!

Until and unless my AoS wouldn't sinked out, immi wouldn't ask me for 2nd VAC. Those who are in April que have got everything done so it won't take too long.

We heard from our son yesterday to say he had received the Centrelink letter as well, so another step forward for us as well. We may even get inside the 39 month projected process time if we're lucky So when your son missed the first call from Centrelink - did he get another call,or did they just send acceptance letter?

Pertenhall Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 9 hours ago, TinaH said: Btw, have you heard anything from DIBP? Your lodgement date was 12/3/15. We had an e-mail from IMMI on 22 Jan with a small query which was easily sorted. They also said that AOS was still outstanding. We advised them that this had been submitted on 3 Jan. We checked at the 8 week point to make sure that Centrelink had everything they needed and they confirmed that they did - just have to wait, and wait, and wait, and wait........... It would seem that once the AOS is approved we are good to go - hopefully not too long now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pertenhall Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Now I am more and more concerned. Having read the new criteria for AoS it would seem that our daughter will not fill the requirements regarding income. Does her application go by the old rules or the new ones. This is so frustrating, especially as we will not need her financial support at all as we are fortunate enough to have adequate guaranteed pensions in place. What do we do now? More worries to add to the pile already there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
