Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with timeframes on Parents Visa.

My parents were assigned CO 8/1/15 requesting AOS & Police Cert & Current passport copies.
These were sent 27/1/15 & we're still waiting to hear - how long do you think it'll take? any experience guys?
We frontloaded all our docs so never heard from CO just straight to Visa grant.

Thanks

Have you checked here - Family Visa Processing Times

Depends on which particular subclass of visa you are referring to.

Hi old.sparkles

No they are right at the pointy end application was lodged May 2013 & CO was sent all documents 27th Jan 2015 - seeing some applicants who fronted loaded docs receiving request for 2nd payment within 3-5 days of being assigned CO.
But we're now 3.5 weeks from when they received all docs from us.

Getting worried now :-(

sorry 143

I would try not to worry as long as the funds are available for the second charge. Every case is different so someone else's timeline is not always a good standard. Hopefully not too much longer now though

Thanks - I'm due with baby no 2 in just over 5 weeks - Mums booked her flight & will just stay on visitors visa if not received but really don't want her to be worrying about visa & leaving Dad to arrange everything.
She'll just head to NZ for a few days if this is what has to happen.
The waiting is driving us insane - Glad we frontloaded & knew nothing otherthan the expected wait times.
