Ozzieland Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 hi smithkt87 my CO asked me medical and police check aswell nearly two weeks now and dont have a queue date i applied may 2011.. inthink med and police check is only for initial assessment. Now we need to wait for 10yrs!!! While over 10 yrs is the promised time, I would like to be more optimistic and say the visas of 2013 should be received in a couple of years given that they are processing June 2011. If the number of visas per year for this category is increased substantially, then we can expect them issued earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielphan Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hi guys Just quick update from my friend's case whose being applied onshore about May 2010, he has just received the call from IMMI to meet character and health requirement for allocating his queue day. But he is also advised to supply the character paper from our country to reach this step successfully??? WTH??? Even though he applies onshore?? The case officer said that because he hasn't been living around 10 years in AUS so that's the reason he needs to provide it for IMMI??? Now he has a problem to get this certificate from our country within 28 days, unless his case will be decided following its current circumstance. I just want to share this experience to everyone who hasn't been assessed yet for well-prepare in the future. My friend is struggling to have it ASAP for them. Good luck everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The case officer said that because he hasn't been living around 10 years in AUS so that's the reason he needs to provide it for IMMI??? Hi Daniel, Yes, that's normal. I've lived in 3 countries in the last 10 years and I've obtained a police clearance certificate from all 3 countries. Your friend applied in May 2010 and hasn't been given a queue date yet? Wow, I wonder what queue date they will give him once he hands them all the required documents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi lazybones1987 My friend is very upset because he advised the immigration agent (this is so bad agent, I think) to take care his case but they didn't ask him to provide it at the beginning. Not good enough at all!! Now he has to chase it that could be delayed on his queue day allocation. Well, fingers cross!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velasco Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Bad news. The planning level for 'other family visa' in the 2013-14 year is only 585 places, which is a record low.

danielphan Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Nightmare for everyone here!! I think Carer visa will have about 300 seats, the rest of things will be divided between Remaining Relative and Aged Remaining Relative. Estimation is around 100 Remaining Relative available places for everyone around the world in a year. @_@ Unbelievable!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys Unless everyone starts complaining about the processing time for RRV, nothing is going to change. May be for them everyone who applied for RRV has no problem to wait for 14 years? If still no one complains, then next year planning for RRV could the numbers that you can count on your fingers.

coolio Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hi guys What is it means? " The 2013-14 planning levels do not include the additional 4000 places for family members of humanitarian entrants as per the Expert Panel's recommendation." http://www.immi.gov.au/media/statistics/statistical-info/visa-grants/migrant.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielphan Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I really think that due to the Cabinet has been changed, the Immigration and Citizenship is merged with Multicultural Affairs to become Department of Immigration, Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship with new Minister so the visa process would be more delay.

lazybones1987 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Even more sad news: Applications for Remaining Relative or Aged Dependent Relative visas with a queue date up to 30 June 2011 have been released from the queue. These applications will be considered for final processing as a place in the Migration Program becomes available. Once the cap is reached for the visa places that are available in the current year, applications that have been queued and released for final processing, but not yet finalised, will be considered for a place in a subsequent year. It is currently estimated that lodged Remaining Relative and Aged Dependent Relative visa applications, that have not yet been assessed, are likely to take up to 16 years to be released for final processing (calculated from 1 July 2013). http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/family/other-family-visa-queue.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velasco Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Nothing has changed. The processing has been stuck on 30 June 2011 for more than 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Velasco, Is it your sister who has applied for this visa? Does she have a case officer and a queue date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
