parents sponsored residency-how long
 
We have been told the application for residency as sponsored parents could take 2 years. Has anyone been granted residency quicker than that

we were told 2 years when we applied but actually got allocated a Case Officer just over a year after we handed in our application and waited a further couple of months as I had to give further medical information to the Immigration doctor that was reviewing my medical report. We were then granted permanent residency (Parent Visa). :rofl:

That's very encouraging Paula, we're coming up to the year since application ourselves. Just one question, I'm 70 now, is that much older than you? I wonder whether age could be a factor when in the queue.
