PROCESSING
In the 2016-17 Migration Program year, 1500 Non-Contributory Parent visa places are available for applicants applying from in and outside Australia.
OFFSHORE APPLICANTS (Subclass 103)
Once your application is allocated to a case officer, your eligibility for a visa will be assessed and if you are found to meet eligibility requirements your application will be placed in a queue and assigned a queue date to wait for a visa place.
We are currently assessing for a queue date applications lodged on 1 April 2015.
We are currently assessing for finalization applications with a queue date including August 2009.
ONSHORE APPLICANTS (Subclass 804)
Once your application is allocated to a case officer, you or your authorised contact will be contacted and asked to provide more documents including police certificates and health clearances to complete your application. As soon as you are assessed as meeting all requirements your application will be placed in a queue and assigned a queue date to wait for a visa place.
We are currently assessing for a queue date applications lodged up to 24 December 2015.
We are currently assessing for finalization applications with a queue date up to March 2010.
In the 2016-17 Migration Programme year, 7175 Contributory Parent visa places are available for applicants applying from in and outside Australia. Due to high numbers of Contributory Parent visa applications lodged in May and June 2014, processing time for these is expected to exceed 24 months.
OFFSHORE APPLICANTS (subclass 143/173)
When your application is allocated to an assessing officer, you or your authorised contact may be asked to provide more documents, including but not limited to, Assurance of Support (subclass 143 only), police certificates and health clearances to finalise your application.
We are currently assessing applications lodged up to and including 19 August 2014.
ONSHORE APPLICANTS (subclass 864 and 884)
When your application is allocated to a case officer, you or your authorised contact will be asked to provide more documents, including but not limited to Assurance of Support (subclass 864 only), police certificates and health clearances to finalise your application.
We are currently assessing applications lodged up to 27 May 2016.
TEMPORARY TO PERMANENT APPLICANTS (subclass 173 to 143 and 884 to 864)
We are currently experiencing delays in processing onshore applications, this is due to unprecedented applications lodged in May/June/July 2014. We will recommence processing s/c884 and s/c864 as soon as possible. An update will be posted 1 February 2017.
We are currently assessing applications lodged up to 22 June 2016.
QUEUE for subclass 103 and 804
All applications are initially assessed in order of date of lodgement until they are queued or refused. The order of queuing may be influenced if you respond to requests for documents or other actions quickly.
Once queued, the queue dates cannot be changed even if compelling or compassionate circumstances exist, as all cases are considered equally deserving. Please do not ask for your application to be prioritized or expedited. Applications are released from the queue in queue date order. To do otherwise could disadvantage someone else with equally compelling or compassionate circumstances .
Changes in numbers in the queue depend on how many visas may be granted each year, fluctuations due to grants, refusals, withdrawals and successful review cases. Once your 103 or 804 application is queued and you want to check your place in the queue please use our queue calculator. The queue calculator for non-contributory parent visas can be found at https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/qcalc/QDateAnswer.do
As visa places are limited (currently1500 per year) your application will spend a long time in the queue. The time spent depends on the Australian Government releasing visa places. If you require more explanation of the Australian Government’s capping and queuing process please see our website at http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Brin/Fami/Capping-and-queuing.
As an alternative, you may wish to 'switch' to a faster visa processing path, the Contributory Parent visa. This has significantly higher application charges, but no queue and is therefore, a much quicker pathway to permanent residence. Please see our website at: http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/143- or email us for more information.

PROVIDING SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS
There is no option to use the Immi Account for provision of documents for any visas processed by our section, as all our applications are paper lodged. Multiple documents should be saved in one PDF file if possible and attached to your email. We also accept jpg files. Links to web PDF files such as Google drive and One Drive cannot be accepted due to our IT Security configuration.
VISA FEES
Visa fees are available on the internet at: http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa/Visa-1
You will be requested to pay the 2nd visa charge when your application is ready for grant of the visa.
HEALTH EXAMINATIONS
ONSHORE: Arrange your medical examination with BUPA. Telephone 1300 794 919 for an appointment or visit their website at http://bupamvs.com.au
OFFSHORE: You must arrange your examination with a registered panel physician (these are doctors appointed by the Australian Government to carry out health checks on visa applicants outside Australia). Please see http://www.border.gov.au/Lega/Le ... on-panel-physicians to find a doctor near you.
ASSURANCE OF SUPPORT
Please refer to the Department of Human Services (Centrelink) which is the agency responsible.
MEDICARE
Please contact Medicare for health assistance. Immigration does not advise on eligibility for Medicare benefits.
BRIDGING VISAS
Bridging visas are only granted to onshore applicants applying for a visa which can be granted onshore and can only be issued to people who are in Australia at the time of requesting the bridging visa. Usually a Bridging visa A (BVA) will be granted automatically when your temporary visa expires, provided you are still onshore. If you wish to travel out of Australia once you are the holder of a BVA, you must apply for a BVB before you depart.
The BVB requires Form 1006 and a fee (currently $140). We do not accept emailed applications for Bridging visas. You must send the BVB application by mail or courier and allow enough time (about two weeks) for the application to be processed.
Kind regards

Aos应该是主要拖进度的原因，8到11周的审理周期，移民局收不到acceptance letter也不能进行下一步。移民局应该也堆积了很多在等aos的case
