Jeet85 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) I attached tax summary but same day case officer called me for ato tax assessment . I didn’t have 2020 that day . Case officer was very nice , he asked me to provide 2019 .. but in 2019 my income was less than 50 percent. He gave me 28 days to provide documents.. after 3 days when I got my 2020 ato tax assessment.. I lodged another sponsorship application with all documents.. withdraw previous application.. got approved within 3 hours.. I was in hurry as my mother s tourist visa was expiring in 2 days.. same day lodged visa application and now got bva.. my suggestion is lodge application with all documents.. thanks Edited August 6, 2020 by Jeet85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arti Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hi guys Our overseas PCC document took forever - submitted it finally on Friday night and got the sponsorship approval Monday morning! Now I'm faced with a dilemma with timing my application correctly. Should I apply for the 870 visa right away or wait another few months before applying? With the border restrictions in place, even once granted, my parents will not be able to travel at least till July 2021 from what I can see. Or should I apply right away and the department will only issue the visa once border restrictions lifted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaH27 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 As 870 is only classed as temporary visa I doubt they would let your parents enter until such time as the borders open. So any grant of application now would - I guess - eat into the length of time of the validity of the 870, IF immi did in fact even grant it with it being a temporary visa! I think all docs such as police clearance and Medicals etc have a years validity so maybe you could apply later on? Probably best to pay for definitive answers from an agent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Remember the sponsorship approval only lasts for 6 months - the visa application must be lodged within that time. Best regards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Consider whether best to let the sponsorship lapse and to seek sponsorship approval again once you know your parents can get clearance to travel to Australia.

Best regards. Definitely cannot allow the sponsorship to lapse! I'll apply within the next 4 months -that way the sponsorship remains valid and we are also closer to things going back to normal I guess - whenever that happens...

Yes I do understand that but I really don’t think the borders will be open in 6 months time. Current thinking that I’ve heard /read about is at least mid 2021. Qantas has parked all its long range planes in the Mojave desert till 2023! The other factor is actually getting into Australia. Only PR and Citizens - no temporary visa holders - and they’re getting bumped off flights as Australia only allows so many people per flight to actually enter. You’re met by security forces and taken straight to quarantine which you now have to pay for - $3000 for one person.Things are definitely very strange now and the pandemic is affecting so many people lives. Unfortunately there’s not a lot anyone can do - except wait .... and wait .... and wait !! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s classed as a temporary visa and only PR and citizens are allowed in at present. Many Australians are still stranded abroad as there is a cap on the number allowed in per week and very few flights and they, quite rightly, will be the ones who are let in first. I believe they will let you pay for it once sponsorship is approved and application granted but they won’t issue it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a quick note to say some temporary visa holders are being allowed to return: the holders of visas under the Business Innovation and Investor Program - ie subclass 188 visa holders. This was announced in the last couple of weeks. Agreed though that subclass 870 visa applicants who are offshore are unlikely to be granted visas and permission to arrive until there are more freedoms as to arrivals in Australia.

Thank you for the info Alan - that’s quite interesting! Obviously trying to bring money and expertise into the economy which is being devastated like so many other countries Being cheeky - I suppose it would be too much to ask for 143s to be allowed as well given the amount of money they could get from us - and the money we could put into the economy buying houses etc etc after all I think we pay the most for our visas - as far as I’m aware!

It's only temporary ones like 870 that are not allowed to enter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I do know that - I was suggesting (tongue in cheek!) that they could grant 143s earlier than they have been if Australia was just looking for extra money - because they’re letting in temporary 188 applicants who can show $1.5 million investment ! 870 can stay 5 years (or 3 if cheaper version) Edited September 21, 2020 by LindaH27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, the difference is that 188 applicants are paying a hefty fee upfront, then they will be running a business while they are living in Australia - and they have a strong incentive to make it a highly successful business, because then they stand a chance of being allowed to stay. So although it's a temp visa, a 188 applicant can ultimately make a major contribution to the Australian economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
