PROCESSING
In the 2016-17 Migration Program year, 1,500 Non-Contributory Parent visa places are available for applicants applying from in and outside Australia.
OFFSHORE APPLICANTS (Subclass 103)
Once your application is allocated to a case officer (which may take up to 17 months) your eligibility for a visa will be assessed and if you are found to meet eligibility requirements your application will be placed in a queue and assigned a queue date to wait for a visa place.
We are currently assessing for a queue date applications lodged on 27 March 2015
We are currently assessing for finalization applications with a queue date including July 2009
ONSHORE APPLICANTS (Subclass 804)
Once your application is allocated to a case officer (which may take up to 12 months) you or your authorised contact will be contacted and asked to provide more documents including police certificates and health clearances to complete your application. As soon as you are assessed as meeting all requirements your application will be placed in a queue and assigned a queue date to wait for a visa place.
We are currently assessing for a queue date applications lodged up to 24 December 2015
We are currently assessing for finalization applications with a queue date up to October 2009
In the 2016-17 Migration Program year, 7,175 Contributory Parent visa places are available for applicants applying from in and outside Australia.
Due to high numbers of Contributory Parent visa applications lodged in May and June 2014, processing times for these is expected to exceed 24 months.
OFFSHORE APPLICANTS (subclass 143/173)
Your application will be processed according to the order of lodgement date and once your application has been assigned to an assessing officer, they will contact you.
Please be assured that the department will endeavour to finalize your application as quickly as possible.
When your application is allocated to an assessing officer, you or your authorised contact may be asked to provide more documents including but not limited to Assurance of Support (subclass 143 only), police certificates and health clearances to finalize your application.
We are currently assessing applications lodged up to and including 24 June 2014. Please note that due to a very high number of 173 and 143 applications received in June 2014, the assessment date is expected to change at a much slower pace than usual. We appreciate your patience and your understanding.
ONSHORE APPLICANTS (subclass 864 and 884)
When your application is allocated to a case officer, which may take up to 12 months, you or your authorised contact will be asked to provide more documents including but not limited to Assurance of Support (subclass 864 only), police certificates and health clearances to finalise your application.
We are currently assessing applications lodged up to 17 December 2015.
TEMPORARY TO PERMANENT APPLICANTS (subclass 173 to 143 and 884 to 864)
When your application is allocated to a case officer, which may take up to 9 months, you or your authorised contact will be asked to provide more documents including but not limited to Assurance of Support, police certificates and health clearances to finalise your application.
We are currently assessing applications lodged up to 4 February 2016.
QUEUE for subclass 103 and 804
As visa places are very restricted (currently 1500 per year) your application may spend as much as 30 years in the queue. This waiting time is expected to become longer. The time spent depends on the Government releasing visa places. Partners, children and skilled migrants are given priority.
If you require more explanation of the Government’s capping and queuing process please see our website at Family members
You may find that you are eligible for an alternative parent visa, the Contributory Parent visa. This has significantly higher application charges, but no queue and is therefore a much quicker pathway to permanent residence. Please see our website at: Contributory parent visa (subclass 143).
ORDER OF PROCESS FOR NON-CONTRIBUTORY APPLICATIONS
All applications are initially assessed in order of date of lodgment until they are queued or refused. The order of queuing may be influenced if you respond to requests for documents or other actions quickly.
Once queued, the queue dates cannot be changed even if compelling or compassionate circumstances exist as all cases are considered equally deserving. Please do not ask for your application to be prioritized or expedited. Applications are released from the queue in queue date order. To do otherwise could disadvantage someone else with equally compelling or compassionate circumstances .
Currently we are processing for finalization offshore applications that were queued in 2009 and onshore applications that were queued in 2009. Changes in numbers in the queue depend on how many visas may be granted each year, fluctuations due to grants, refusals, withdrawals and successful review cases.
