How Long Does a Parent Visa Take to Process?

As of April 30, 2024, the processing data for parent visas has been updated on the DoHA’s website. There is some good news as the queue for parent migration has advanced by one month. Here are the specific processing details including 143 visa processing time:

143 visa processing time

 As of April 30, 2024, the parent visa processing status is as follows:

Finally, at the end of April, the processing of non-contributory parent visas advanced by one month! It is worth noting that the applications submitted in November 2011 started being processed in December 2023. It took a full five months to see this little progress!

Given this pace, it is understandable why Department of Home Affairs has announced that the waiting period for non-contributory and aged parent visas is as long as 29 years.

143 visa processing time

For those seeking a faster option, contributory parent visas are indeed quicker. According to the processing times published, contributory parent visas take approximately 12 years to process, saving 17 years compared to the non-contributory parent visas. As parents age, sometimes the wait can be unbearable!

How Parents Can Help Me Immigrate to Australia with the 802 Child Visa

How Parents Can Help Me Immigrate to Australia with the 802 Child Visa

The traditional immigration approach typically involves children first immigrating independently and then sponsoring their parents, or parents including their children when applying for immigration, but the 802 child visa offers a different pathway. However, under the current processing time, most visas require that children included as secondary applicants must be under the age of 23 at the time of visa approval. Considering that the processing speed for many visas has slowed down, it is possible that by the time the application is processed, the children may exceed the age requirement.

In such a situation, parents can choose to obtain permanent residence first and then sponsor their children for a child visa. The biggest advantage of the child visa is that it only requires the child to be under 25 years old at the time of the lodgement, with no age requirement at the time of approval.

Children’s visas are divided into Child Visa (subclass 101) for children outside Australia and Child Visa (subclass 802) for children inside Australia. Today, let’s introduce Subclass 802.

Requirements for the Sponsor:

  1. The sponsor can be one of the parents, the parent’s spouse, or a de facto partner.
  2. Must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or an eligible New Zealand citizen.
  3. Must be at least 18 years old.
  4. Must be able to continuously provide food, housing, financial, and general support for the child within two years of the child’s entry into Australia.
  5. Must have not been charged or convicted of offences involving children

Requirements for the Sponsored Child

  1. The child can be a biological child, stepchild, or adopted child of the sponsor.
  2. Must be single and dependent on the sponsor.
  3. Age requirement at the time of lodgement: under 18 years old; or a full-time student aged 18 to 25 who is financially dependent on their parents; or over 18 and unable to work due to a disability.
  4. Must meet health and character requirements.
  5. Must be in Australia at the time of application and approval.

Benefits of Obtaining the 802 Visa

  1. Legally work and study in Australia.
  2. Freely travel to and from Australia during the visa period.
  3. Enjoy Medicare health benefits and other welfare benefits.
  4. Apply for the citizenship after meeting the eligibility criteria.

Overall, for children born outside Australia, if immediate entry is not urgent, directly applying for SC101 visa is an option. However, considering the longer processing time, you can first apply for a tourist visa for entry and then apply for SC802 child visa within Australia.

I just want to take the time to thank the legend Ahmad Shady who went above and beyond for me. He completely took the stress out of a super complex situation and streamlined all the documentation needed so I could be more present with my newborn daughter in Texas. He quickly transitioned from my migration agent to a good friend and I’m forever grateful for his kindness and support during those tough times. 🙏

'I want to thank Redd and Nutchaya for accepting my immigration matter and making impossible, possible. Nutchaya and Redd paid attention to the details as a result they were able to reverse the adverse decision from the Department of Home and Affairs and won the case in AAT. The submission to AAT was very details and well written. They are very honest and told me how difficult my case was, but they tried their best to fight for me. I appreciate their effort and care throughout the process. I highly recommend them as immigration lawyers.'
