andrew98 Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Thanks Van …they are in visitor visa 600 … I have gone through those links previously… couldn’t find anything about whether they can apply for 143 visa from Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanSchoorFamily Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 When we applied in 2019, it stipulated that you had to be outside of Australia to apply. It doesn't say it anymore. I recommend contacting the helpline at the Australia Department of Home Affairs, they might be able to answer your question. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew98 Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Hi Guys , any updates on the movement . Looks like the queue is not updated after the March 2017 submission , anyone has any news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeTMI Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) For those of you in the queue - hopefully some positive news for you today? Edit: nothing was said at the announcement today with regards to Parent visas - the below is reported in the media. We are expecting some announcements today towards an overhaul of Australia's current Migration System For those in Australia and able to watch we are expecting some announcements by the Minister Clare O'Neil (Minister for Home Affairs) today on the National Press Club (ABC TV) 'The government's Migration Review report states Australia’s migration system is “outdated” and does not meet Australia’s current or future skills needs, calling for a “long term and holistic” approach.' 'Changes to family reunion, skills recognition, and regional migration policies have been flagged ahead of the government’s release of its much-anticipated Migration Review.' 'Changes to migration legislation, as well as Parent visa arrangements are on the table, with the report recognising family reunion as “an important competent of a strong and stable economy.” “However, migrants can wait up to 40 years to have their parents join them in Australia on a permanent basis.”' https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/labor-poised-for-overhaul-of-broken-migration-system-review-handed-down-today/i9ohjugv3 Edited April 27, 2023 by TeeTMI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortly thereafter i received and email congratulating me on my successful completion and for me to look out for a ceremony invitation where I will need to voice my pledge, after which i will be a true Australian Citizen!!! It have been such an amazing journey that started in 2015!!!! A long journey but so worth it!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirkz Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 Andrew, I'd guess it's just a reminder to keep their data updated. I completed Form 929 when we sold our house and moved into a townhouse while waiting for our visa (change of address). I also completed Form 1022 when our parents passed away and one of our children got married (Notification of changes in circumstances). Just to make sure all our info at Immi Department - originally sent on Form 47PA - were up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatientlyWaiting Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) I have a big question: My mom has to sell her home to pay for her visa once it comes - we are estimating another year or so waiting time. How long do we have to pay the final instalment for the visa once her visa is approved? I know we have to pay before it is granted, but how long does one have?

When you are asked to pay the second Visa Application charge you will be provided with 28 days to pay this. You will get some lead up that it will be coming shortly prior to this whilst sorting out the Medicals/Police Checks and Assurance of Support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew98 Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Hi @TeeTMI, a curious question … during the 143 visa medical checkup … how strict are with existing medical condition . Understanding the parents would be above 70s when visa ready to be granted they may have age related diseases suck as , walking disabilities , cancer , cardiovascular diseases . For other normal PR applications they check how much those conditions would be a cost Burden for Australian society and they reject visa based on that . Is it the similar guidelines for Parents visa 143 as well . Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the similar guidelines for Parents visa 143 as well . Thanks The current Medical for a Parent would be the same as for any Permanent Resident Application. There are a number of aspects to the Health Criteria including the one that the individual should not have a condition that might result in 'Significant healthcare and community service costs'. The main concession for elderly would be that for individuals aged over 75 then they consider the cost (currently 'significant costs' would be <$51,000) over a 3 year period rather than 5 year.https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/meeting-our-requirements/health/protecting-health-care-and-community-services 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeTMI Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 I have decided to take a break from being a Registered Migration Agent and so will no longer be able to provide advice in this thread. Wishing you all the very best with your visa applications and I hope that at some point you may see government policy changes that provide larger quotas at some point so that the process moves a bit swifter. All the best - I have enjoyed being part of and watching your journeys over the years and seeing so many of you get to the end of the process. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
