RichieH Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Hi all, What year of applicants are getting their Remaining Relative Visas at the moment? I applied in January 2010 and got my queueing date 20/05/13. I have no idea whether they're close to processing that year of applications (or queueing dates?) or not. if not, I should pursue the spousal visa route after getting married last year. Spousal visa is more expensive, but has a clearer timeline. I'm not a carer, not under 18 and not over 65. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, a spouse visa is at least 40 years faster! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip1 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Does your spouse live in Oz then? Just being married doesn’t get you a visa. If your spouse is in the uk surely you wouldn’t qualify for last remaining visa? I’m sure queue for that visa runs into decades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to make sure that your marriage hasn't compromised your eligibility for the Remaining Relative Visas. Satisfying the definition of "remaining relative" is a time of application and time of decision criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a long queue back then, but they've since shrunk the number that they give out each year, which has pushed the processing dates massively into the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on a bridging visa, which only has a few limitations, but enough limitations to make life a little more annoying. The queue is only decades if you apply now I applied 7 years ago. I've heard rumours they're currently processing applications that were lodged 8 years ago, but I want to hear it from someone in the know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pisses me off as well,! We might pass away before we even get this visa! I spent a lot of effort to get information on this and i hope the info below and the fact given above can help you and other people who are in the same boat. My queue date is 2 Jan 2013 - i estimated mine to take another 3 years before i get it. it should take another 4-5 years to get your Visa. I would wait and save that $20k.. and go party when you receive your PR. You can do math with the information below (As of May 2018), and the number of migration planning year 2019-2020 (should be around 500-600 spaces allocated) The number of Carer Visa applications being placed in the queue from 19 June 2016 to date; = 402 Applications The number of Remaining Relative and Aged Dependent Visa applications being placed in the queue from 31 May 2011 to 2 January 2013; = 1636 Applications Thanks to DeanBib as i can now validate the accuracy of my information :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clim Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Additional Info: As at November 2018 we have released for final processing: Remaining Relative visa applications with a queue date up to 2 August 2011 Aged Dependent Relative visa applications with a queue date up to 2 August 2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PR granted May 2018, visa now validated and moving to Australia in July. Keep a watch on the government website as the dates do change when you are least expecting it. Also, it is likely that a number of the 1636 applicants will fall out due to changes in their circumstances or they don’t actually meet the criteria, which could reduce the waiting time. Good luck and I hope it comes sooner than you expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope many others do not meet the criteria or have their circumstances changed! Thanks for the wishes :) and happy for you :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillay Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Hi, given the update on remaining relative visa, my queue date is 27 August 2012. Based on your maths what would the estimate be? I am thinking about 4 more years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I estimated roughly about 3 years - could be earlier. *Given the Migration Programme for yearly quota allocation stay constant for the next 3 years. Can you please do me/us a favor to let us know when you finally receive yours in the future? it seems you will be the first person in this thread to get it :) Thank you, Clim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danieldd192 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Hi my aunty has a Queue date of 6th September 2011 I saw that at November 2018, they've released visas for processing with queue dates up to 2 August 2011 Anybody have an idea on the following: - how many released per year for remaining relative visa? - does the releasing period run over a calendar year or another timeframe? - what were the released queue dates for last couple of years? e.g. November 2017 had they released visas up to July 2011? give me an idea if they'll reach visa with queue dates up 6th September 2011 this year or next thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanblb Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Hi Danieldd192 From my experience they seem to update once a year usually in November/December and the date moves forward between one or two months. It seems only 70 to 80 are released from the queue each year. It is very likely to me that your aunt will be released from the queue next year. Keep an eye on the immi site in November and wait for the date to be updated. Once the processing queue date passes your aunts queue date talk to her migration agent and get them to chase her case officer. You should get confirmation in January or February next year. If she has not heard anything by June 2020, it will mean waiting to the following year. They work on a July to June year not on calendar years. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danieldd192 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Thanks deanblb appreciate the information, I wish the immigration website was just as useful. Do you know what the process is, once a visa is released for final processing? Is it a fairly quick process to granting the visa once released? if not, what are the final hurdles? You mentioned that we have to monitor when the processing queue date passes my aunts queue date and having to chase a case officer. Won't we automatically be contacted? thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't we automatically be contacted? thanks again Hi we were notified late January 2018, had medicals and police checks early March and visa was approved early May. So it was just over four months from being notified. You should automatically be contacted once the queue date has passed. However, I don’t think it hurts to be proactive. I noticed that our queue date had been passed in November 2017 and by late December I had not heard anything so started chasing. It lets the case officer know that you still want to go to Australia.
