LindaH27 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) It’s more to do with domestic violence apparently.! They passed a new bill last year and sponsors will be checked even for partners and the new temporary parent visa If you look under peoples signatures at the bottom of their posts you will see their timelines which include when they applied for AOS so that will also give you an idea of how long people are waiting. You may need to go back a few pages though ! The whole parent visa saga is stretching out more and more!

Mily Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Hi everybody, Immi are sending email request further documents to people who applied visa 173 on Oct & November 2015 now does anyone know how's about visa 143 ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaH27 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 No but I'm beginning to have a sneaky suspicion that 143s are on hold at the moment because of the backlog of AOS applications held at Centrelink , whereas 173 are quicker to process as there's no AOS! So there's still work to be done at immi whilst waiting for the AOS backlog to reduce - if ever!! It will be interesting to see if this is right - we may find out if the processing dates shown on immi website move quicker for 173 than 143!!

Can anyone remember how long we have been stuck on July 15 applications? Just trying to guestimate how much longer before request for medicals and police checks! Has anyone ever been refused a 2nd 600 visa, when applying from the UK? (Planning to return early May, after being out of the country for 6months). Did we ever reach any conclusion on the AoS Bond, my agent says that they scrapped the increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pertenhall Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 2 hours ago, LindaH27 said: It’s still early days for you! People are generally waiting 4-6 months after applying for AOS. In some cases it’s longer if they’re looking closely at the application as there are more checks on Sponsors these days. Keep an eye on it as there was a post earlier in the forum saying that Centrelink had actually rejected some without notifying applicants. I know @Pertenhall actually had that problem last year. I believe he only found out after asking an MP to look into it but my memory could be a bit hazy there Yes Linda - you are quite correct. We waited for ages, and phoned a number of times only to be told that it was on the system. Eventually during yet another phone call they decided to say that we had been rejected. Not the happiest time of our visa application experience. But it has all worked out well in the end. We have our visas activated and now just need to sell the house. Having a yard sale tomorrow - busy sorting and pricing things. Just hope the weather holds! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaH27 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 @Pertenhall so nice to hear that things are going so well for you after your awful experience.! Unfortunately for the rest of us time is spiralling out, now it appears that processing of 143 has really slowed down in comparison to 173 - buts that’s good news for 173 applicants i guess at the end of the day it’s probably best not to stress too much, get on with life and say Que sera, sera!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
