Livebygrace Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Hello,I'm currently waiting for my remaining relative visa to be approved (It's been 7 months and onshore application. people say it can take decades). My parent, brother, sister, nephew and niece are all Australian citizens.While on the wait, DIBP granted me a bridging visa A in which i'm not allowed to work. 2 months ago DIBP requested my medical check result (from BUPA) and police record from my country of origin. There has been no other request from them eversince. I have recently re-applied for work permit after i got rejected 5 months ago (DIBP said i did not demonstrate my financial hardship). My questions are: 1. After undergoing my medical assesment, what will be the next process and how long normally from the time DIBP received my medical result?2. Is it possible to get my work permit approved after second application?I hope someone can help me with the answer. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 This visa still has a 56 year processing period. You should also be aware that the department are reviewing it this visa and personally, I suspect may cancel it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I don't "know" they will cancel it, but the government have announced a massive consolidation of visas in March. This will inevitably mean a lot of visas classes cancelled and given the remaining relative is pointless as few people will live long enough to ever get a grant. It makes sense. You may not understand, but immigration is a big political issue in Oz and most other western countries and as such most are clamping down in a big way on it.

What i'm curious is the medical check request only to let me know that i'm already on their list or a sign that a progress has been made in my application? I know it may take up to 50 years until they approve my visa which is outside the normal person's scope. But we never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 The medical is because there is a long bridging visa. You will technically have to do another in about 55 years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
