And anecdotally the AoS is taking around 5-6 months to process before visa is granted. So even Christmas 2019 would be optimistic. Luckily I am on 173 so I don't have to go through AOS delays which comes before Medical and Police checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 12 days away from my lodgement date and ever so far from being assessed (may as well be sitting on Mars) - at this rate I'll need to redo my medical and PCC, but do they care? Nooooo...disappointing and demoralizing. I feel you. me 4 days away. 4 days away of lodgement could be 4 months away of waiting. I wish I could have lodged it 4 days earlier. My parents and bro s medicals expired. I hope they will not make us redo it. Otherwise nearly a thousand dolar medical fees for 3 flushed down the toilet. Looking at the email they sent us: “Applicants should also be aware that for our purposes medical examinations and police certificates have a validity of only 12 months, and depending on the results of some medical examinations this validity is only for 6 months. We anticipate that by requesting these now there will be sufficient time for processing the application and visa grant – assuming all requirements are met – and for the applicant(s) to then arrive in Australia within these validity timeframes, but it is up to the applicant to choose whether to proceed now to prepare these documents or to wait until their case is allocated to a case officer for assessment.” They should really change this sentence in the email. “We anticipate that by requesting these now there will be sufficient time for processing the application and visa grant”. Anyway, depends on the result of your medical, it could be a 12month validity. After all of that, the good thing is it is still moving and we will get there eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's shocking, it takes a month to process 1 day worth of 143 applications. Wake up immi Kev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie_P Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Hi All, We submitted my Dad's 143 Application in April this year. At the time of submitting, we didnt have his original marriage certificate to certify (only a photocopy which we sent with the application). We didnt want to delay submitting the application until we got the original marriage certificate. Well we got the original marriage certificate back and I want to send PVC the certified copy. Do you know where we send this too? Thanks, Robbie Edited October 17, 2018 by Robbie_P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are not satisfied with the photocopy they can always contact and request for the original . Then you can send it directly to the person who processing your application rather than going through admin who currently swimming in hundreds of thousands of applications.

KevinLee Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 IMMI please start asking July/August-2015 lodgers to prepare further documents, the silence from their end is killing us. Kev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinLee Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) IMMI has stopped asking 143 applicants to prepare further documents since June this year, what's going on??? Really disappointed with lack of communication from IMMI. Kev Edited October 26, 2018 by KevinLee x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that the waiting is frustrating but everybody is in the same boat. Your turn will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinLee Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 @RYLC, I know it based on a various sources. There is only 1-2 143 applicants have been invited to provide further documents since June until now, a majority of June-2018 applicants have received their invitation between 01/2018 and 05/2018.

MelW Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 We have started our long wait. Submitted our application for CPV 143 this week, and they acknowledged they got it. Seems like we in for 4 to 5 years wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeTMI Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Posting in here as it is of interest to processing times. This new pathway for the 405/410 visa holders that will be processed within the Parent visa streams is to open shortly. The pathway provides the options of applying for a 103 or 143 Parent visa. The Department states that they 'will implement the Pathway in a way that minimises the impact on the Parent and Contributory Parent visa programs. Pathway places will be gradually allocated over a number of years starting in 2018-19 and will not affect the overall number of Parent and Contributory Parent places in the annual migration program. As the number of potential Pathway applicants is small, this is not expected to have a noticeable impact on existing Parent and Contributory Parent visa applicants.' and NB this relates to the 405/410 pathway 'Within these Parent category places, a small number of places will be allocated to the Pathway. Pathway places will be allocated over a number of years starting in 2018-19.' '... with no allocation of Parent (subclass 103) Pathway places for grant in at least the first four years of the program. ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
