Our clients can send funds electronically to our client bank account and we arrange the bank cheque. Is all part of the service!

The present Australian government are committed to reducing immigration in general and have therefore reduced the number of parent visas granted this year so immigration usually come in under that figure! There will be a 1300 reduction I think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaH27 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Ah I see! Even after providing docs it’s still taking months especially if providing AOS is also in the mix - 143 etc but I do hope those people are successful soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Clare 23 hours ago, Alan Collett said: We tend to suggest payment of the 2nd VAC by bank draft - it saves hundreds of $'s compared with a payment by VISA or MasterCard. Even though not given as an option the PVC still accepts payments this way. Best regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicky bajwa Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 On 03/05/2019 at 17:14, Emmys Gran said: As I posted earlier Centrelink screwed things up. My son had the telephone interview about the 20 Dec 2018 and about the same time was emailed for some further id. He provided this the same day but Centrelink didn’t link it to the Aos application and the file just sat there with no action being taken. By the beginning of March we were at our wits end We didn’t know why the delay and couldn’t get any information from Centrelink. It took a request to the local federal MP to get things moving. That added nearly 3 months to the process. I was panicking as the anniversary of our medicals is 9 May and we also didn’t want to get caught up in the June visa grant hiatus. Fortunately IMMI have the option to extend the medicals & police check validity to 18 months & we’ve just snuck in before June. Total processing time for us will be about 47 months Dear how much time you get for initial entry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
