we seem to be split into 3 groups now - the "pre red line" group, the "you'll be in 09/10 email" group (seems to be people ack between 9/10/07 and 9/11/07) and then the "heard nothing" group (anyone ack after 9/11/07)

Perhaps a "Divide and Rule" strategy by those clever folk at DIAC? Hmm. It would be interesting to know why they sent those letters out to the chosen few; a massive surge in Oct / Nov 07 applications? What we do not know (and probably DIAC don't either) is the size of the parent visa pool for 2009 / 2010. They are probably exercising extreme caution in managing expectations.

As one of the “chosen few” who have received a letter, I have a theory (or is it a wild dream). The theory is that case officers are only being assigned for applications that can be guarantee for the current 2008/2009 allocation.
However, there must be some uncertainty of how many more visas can be allocated. This is the function of the “chosen few” who have been preliminary assessed in readiness for the quick processing of any remaining visas.

Hi from Scorching Sydney, barometer reading 43
What a brilliant site, I had heaps of questions and just reading through the posts they've nearly all been answered without even having to ask thanks everyone. Two questions not answered, when will they release the allocation of visas for subclass 143 for 2009/2010, does it go January to January and if my mum's application was acknowledged on 14 October 2008 would I be right in thinking she may not get in until possibly 2012
How do I put my mum's details on the tracker or does someone else do it.

The release 09/10 quota on the 1st July 09. Lots on here waiting for that magical date now.
Shes at risk of being in the 10/11 quota (right on the cusp - look at the news releases on gomatilda.com and I think it was around middle october that they ran out of the 09/10 quota (subject to any adjustments to the number!). 10/11 quota is released in July 2010 - so the risk is probably late 2010 that she will get it - rather than late 2009/early 2010 if you get in the next batch.
Sandch can help you with the tracker - send him a PM

Hi All
I've been browsing this thread for what seems like forever!!!
My ack date was 13/11/07 and today I've had a letter asking me for some adl info & a form 80(which I didn't send in the first instance) so things maybe on the move again
Could you please add me to the tracker now- its nice to know my app is actually sitting on someone's desk.
Thanks

Re: the ALL NEW SPARKLY contributory parents visa thread!!!
Hello again
Im applying for a CPV143-no agent and my ack letter did not ask for a form 80?
Letter recd today-is from "the officer responsible for processing my application"
so Im not really sure what that means-no mention of meds or police checks just some missing docs & form 80 which I have to send back before 24th March
I expect I only got the letter because items were missing-perhaps others have gone straight into the "ready queue"
We shall see... PS just noticed your question- letter sent to my son(sponser) in Aus(as requested when I applied - dated 12th Jan.

Your Mum may have submitted these forms just after acknowledgement - ask her if she remembers filling out pages of details about relatives, countries she's travelled to etc. We were asked to when we got the acknowledgement, we sent them off in Nov 07 and heard nothing until recently.
