Sophia, is your boyfriend an Australian citizen or PR? If he is, do you not qualify for any type of partner visa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophiavee Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 yeah he is but for personal reasons I didn't want to venture down that route. not to mention all the paperwork and meds to do again. I guess I keep hoping its closer to the end. on this application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sophia. If the website states that they have released applications with a queue date of upto June 30 2011, why is it that applications like yours (and mine) are not being processed? I know how you feel and I've been there. It was hard on both of us and in the end we had to break up. I hope your story has a happy ending, just hang in there.

carer116 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hello everyone. Hope you can shed me a light. I applied for carer visa 116 offshore since 2011. Queue date 20 May2012 it is now more than 2 yrs and 2 months since QD, still don't have any update from the department. The Immi website stated qd up to 31 march 2013 is now relesed. Called them last week, no news. So frustrated as my mum health conditions getting worse. Anyone have an idea my actual waiting time? please help.

danielphan Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hi guys Make sure that you understand clearly the Other Family visa process from IMMI: These applications will be considered for final processing as a place in the Migration Program becomes available. Once the cap is reached for visa places that are available in the current year, applications that have been queued and released for final processing, but are not yet finalised, will be considered for a place in a subsequent year. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It says when you get your queue day and yours is released from global queue, it doesn't mean your case are going to be finalized to receive the visa. The release from global queue is just the first step for you to reach the visa grant. You should wait for a available visa place for you in current financial year as second step to move on the finalization. If the cap is reached, it means no more available place in that financial year ( this year is 500 totally for Other Family category, and I guess for Remaning Relative visa places is about more than 100/less than 150, around there). So you should get long long wait I think and even they don't know how long it takes for individual case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they requested me for further documents, they told me there is a visa place available!!!!!! I know there is a capping, and the reduction of visa places.Although I have paid AOS, maybe the waiting time for me is 6 years. Date Applied: 2010 year Date on queue: Feb 2011 Waiting time: 3 yrs + and counting..... citizen sponsor Edited August 4, 2014 by scraplive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think because it's global queue and you guys was going to be finalized at the time between 2 financial years (for example: there's a place for released in previous financial year but couldn't be finalized in current financial year because less more available visa places) so you have to wait for subsequent years although everything's ready and done for visa grant.

Hi Daniel, tks for yr reply and u got the point. I am totally agreed with you. It's because the significant of reduction of visa places of this 115 class, and the Dept just ignore the situation we are facing. I prefer they let me know how long I have to wait from now on and Iet me make decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhDIAC Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Good luck to everyone specially who applied RRV in 2014..... hope Aged dependent relative will also get visa before they die? http://www.immi.gov.au/Live/Pages/family/other-family-visa-queue.aspx Based on current Planning Levels and the allocation of the majority of the Other Family places to the Carer visa category, it is currently estimated that Remaining Relative and Aged Dependent Relative visa applications that were lodged in 2014 and meet the criteria to be queued are likely to take approximately 56 years to be released for final processing (calculated from 14 August 2014).

lazybones1987 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 The most shocking piece of info is the following: As at July 2014, final processing for Carer is currently progressing for applications with a queue date up to 28 June 2012. For Remaining Relative and Aged Dependent Relative final processing is progressing for applications with a queue date up to 21 January 2010. I can't understand how applications with a queue date of Jan 2010 are in "final processing" only now. There are so many individuals in this thread who have a queue date of Apr 2011 and had their visas granted more than a year ago. It just doesn't make any sense. Meanwhile, I paid my AoS of $5000 more than a year ago and it has been sitting there, accumulating no interest (for me at least). This is completely unfair and unjust. I have a queue date of early 2011 and going by their latest estimates, it could take another 3-5 years before my application is granted!! I'm thinking of seeking legal advice and also see if this issue can be raised to gain the governments attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nirosh86 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) It is currently estimated that Carer visa applications that were lodged in 2014 and meet the criteria to be queued, are likely to take approximately four and one half years to be released for final processing (calculated from 14 August 2014). After 4.5 years add another 3 years to grant visa , all the Carer visa applications will be cleared ... After that ,Remaining Relative and Aged Dependent Relative visa applications only remaining for entire 500 quotas ... how it could be 56 years??.. In order to earn the money , immigration earned massive income by cheating us as well spoiled our life. If they grant me visa after 56 , my grandchildren can go to Aussie, THAT IS ALSO IMPOSSIBLE THAT I CANT MARRY PRIOR TO GRANT THE VISA. Aussie expecting that EVERY human can live 300-400 years in the planet ???? Hello my dear analysts and statisticians inside the immigration, u don't know the life table of the human survival ????? what r u doing there ???? Please update the news some thing logically....After i looked at this news, i really feel that i may become as mad... OHHH MY GOD ...............

kikice Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Hi everyone In this forum has only few comments about carer visa, maybe there are small number of applications I am on queue from November 2013 and still waiting...

danielphan Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Hi lazybones1987 Please read again carefully, I think you are falling in this case even though you was released for final processing following your queue day but it's hasn't been finalized yet because the new limited visa number in new financial year. My friend's situation is same as you as well: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delays in final processing There was a significant reduction in the number of visa places made available by the Government for Other Family visas in the 2013-14 programme year from 1285 to 585. A large number of applications had already been released from the queue in 2012-13 but due to the reduction in visa places for the following year, in many cases final processing has not been able to progress. This relates to Carer visa applications with queue dates to 31 March 2013 and to Aged Dependent Relative and Remaining Relative visa applications with queue dates to 30 June 2011. This delay in final processing remains for the 2014-15 programme year. If you have been notified of being released from the queue, but your application has not been finalised, you will be contacted again by us only when final processing of your application can resume. As at July 2014, final processing for Carer is currently progressing for applications with a queue date up to 28 June 2012. For Remaining Relative and Aged Dependent Relative final processing is progressing for applications with a queue date up to 21 January 2010. This information will be updated only when final processing dates are extended. Once the number of visa places that are available in the current year is reached, applications that have been queued and released for final processing, but are not yet finalised, will be considered for a place in a subsequent year.
