The Parent, Child and Other Family section of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection has advised that visa program numbers for Parent Visas are close to being filled for the 2015/16 year and if applicants have not been contacted by a case officer by now, it’s unlikely their application will be assessed in this year’s migration program.
Allocation dates for final processing for contributory Parent Visas are currently for applications received:
Offshore subclass 173 or 143 – 16 May 2014
Onshore subclass 884 or 864 – 7 August 2015
Temporary 173 holders applying for Permanent 143 – 6 November 2015
Temporary 884 holders applying for Permanent 864 – 6 November 2015
