The Brand New PIO Parents Visa thread

[David Leask]

When you are asked to pay the final payment for the 143 visa, is it 28 working days or 28 days including weekends and holidays to pay it?
Does anyone know about this.

Hi Linda,

The letter from Immi which has the second vac invoice attached states you have ‘28 days after the day on which you are taken to have received this letter’ to make payment. I took that to mean 28 days not 28 working days.

Hi Greece,

 

Hope this link could help: https://www.humanservices.gov.au/individuals/services/centrelink/assurance-support/how-apply/confirm-your-identity#whatarecommondocs

I came to Centrelink offfice in person and brought all documents as indicated on table from the link. Then what the officer there checked was my licence, passort and visa for identity proof.

Hi, anyone who uploaded BG online could help me please: under which Document category that you uploaded the BG? When I went to AoS webpage there is no tab to upload document as AoS completed, then I went to "Uploade document" in general I needed to choose a category. There is no either BG category or AoS category I had to choose "Financial" category and now I'm not sure if I did correctly.

Thank you so much.

Hi Karen,  my son did mine and said the code was Q769.  Hope this helps 

[Karen Ngo]

Thanks AMP. I uploaded under "Financial" category before receiving your response. I called centrelink to ask if they receive my documents and they said yes. Hopefully alll will go smoothly!

I think it’s $10,000 for the first applicant and $4,000 for each of the others over the age of 18. So you will be asked for $14,000 for your parents.

Hi Shelagh,  no we're like you waiting for the acceptance letter from Centrelink after getting a rejection,  but we're off to Australia in just  over three weeks so things could be tight! We'll see how we go, can always ask for an extension as we're away for seven weeks.

Could always go to Bali but we'll see. 

We're neck and neck you and I !

On and on this goes...nearly a month since we paid Aos and CL still haven’t confirmed it’s ok!  Family fed up especially with added stress of bushfires...when will this end so we can get over and help? trying to stay positive

Fingers crossed Linda you'll get the visa before you leave. Have you found a removal firm yet? We are planning to move whether the house is sold or not in April.... too much time has been wasted waiting for the visa. Enjoy your holiday in Oz over Christmas and New Year with your family.

Hi, can anyone please tell me whether for CPV 143 Parents visa,  it is better to have ONE Assurer for AoS  with total income of $130K p.a.  OR  Two (2) Assurers having total income of $260K p.a. for faster processing of AoS ??   We are thinking to have ONE Assurer for Parents.  Plz give your input as many of Forum participants have good experience.

[Michael S]

AOS - joint application question. I hope you guys can help me. I am sponsoring my parents and my brother under visa 143. Can the bank guarantee be set up under one name (one assurer’s name) or does it has to be under both assurers’ name? Reason for asking is because the CBA staff (visited two branches already) and they both told me they could only do the bank guarantee under my name, but not under both me and my partner’s name. Can someone please help me? Thanks.

IMO, if one person could meet financial requirement, just use that one person. Joint application could be complicated.

AOS acceptance letter now received from Centrelink saying they will forward the acceptance to Immi.  I think this should be the last stage of the wait, though heaven knows how long it will take.  There don’t seem to have been any reports of visa awards lately, albeit lots of lead up activity.  I don’t know what is going on with Immi. But hoping they will start approving visas soon and that this blog will be full of good news!

Hi Angela,

Congratulations! That’s great news. Hopefully it won’t be long now before your visa is granted. No more 600 visas!

Although it says Centrelink will forward the acceptance letter to Immi I’m sure I read somewhere that you should upload it to them as well. That’s certainly what we did. Better safe than sorry.

Good luck [emoji4]

We haven't really looked too much at removal companies yet,  don't want to tempt fate! We have sold our house so are ready to go. I agree so much time has been wasted waiting for the visa. It's very difficult to carry on normally not knowing wether you getting the visa or not. I will get back to you regarding removers if and when we get the visa.

Well done Angela for getting your acceptance letter first time round,  good luck with the visa.

Rosiejaq,  i feel so sorry for you and your family, I hope you get some good news soon so you can start 2020 on a better note.
