We have our 143 visa and it's validated but we're in Spain and our borders are closed. I don't think there are any long haul flights leaving atm. Will keep an eye out for them . Thanks Very Stormy.

Flights are available currently from the UK to Australia (citizens and PR only). But I’m not sure whether having a 143 visa granted offshore means you have PR, or if you need to first enter Australia and validate your visa, before officially acquiring PR status.

Thanks SusieRoo we are in Spain so well and truly locked down! The visa is validated so we should be OK once borders open. I feel for people in the 143 queue as after waiting for so long to get a visa this virus comes along and delays you even more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been waiting for more than 4 years, why not waiting for a little longer hehe. (just been waiting for too long, I guess). Also just miss our granddaughter, she is only 6 months old.

Paul Hand answered on another thread. You don’t need to have validated first. You’re good to go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a new granddaughter I’m missing terribly, but lucky enough to have all been together last Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thongoc Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hi, I just sent the email to ask about processing visa 143 and I don't quite understand the explanation about visa 143 onshore and offshore. Is it right that the time line atm is April 2016 is applied for onshore only and they are trying to correct offshore application? Thanks for any contribution.

They are currently assessing 143 April'16 applications. I also seen in another forum that some March'16 applicants just got requested for further docs. Hopefully your case will be pulled up soon for processing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I belive it all depends on the case officer's and how they work on their cases. The one that they share in the email is a generic timeline. There are so many May'16 applicants whose applications have been processeed . At the same time some April and older ones still open . I don't know how the whole thing works. Perhaps some registered MARA agent can shed some light here. @Alan Collett Would you be able to share some insight please. Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flangela100 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 On 30/04/2020 at 05:27, Anash6 said: Hi All, I am a permanent resident waitingfor my citizenship ceremony which should happen online. I have decided to apply for my parents contributory visa 143 for mum and dad. I would be extremely grateful if someone who has/is been through this process to help me with the following questions: 1. Should we attach police checks with form 47P right now or wait ti be requested. 2. What are the time frames of Aos and Vac 2 requests from time of application? Also what are these amounts sitting at as of this date. 3. Does it matter if parents pay for VAC 2 themselves? 4. What documents have you submitted to show your residence in Aus as the sponsor? Does house lease , bills and Visa grant suffice. 5. Income threshold if I apply as sponsor with my husband . We have 1 child of 9 yrs. 6. Once Vac 2 is paid is PR guaranteed. 7. Any other advice or info you would like to share with a stressed out person who has just gone through a million forms and fees. Hi @Anash6 I can't answer all of your questions, but wondered if you realise there is currently an approximate 5 year wait for CPV 143? There's no point in sending documents they haven't asked for as they'll be out of date by the time your case is picked up. I hope things change and you don't have to wait too long, I'm currently 49 months and waiting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
