π WE'RE BACK β AND WE HAVE A LOT TO CELEBRATE! π
β³ 13 JULY 2026 β AGED DEPENDENT RELATIVE (SUBCLASS 838) β QUEUE DATE ASSIGNED
οΏ½β’ The core of an Aged Dependent Relative application is proving genuine dependency on the sponsor. Extensive documentary evidence and several written submissions are required.
β οΈ WHAT IS A QUEUE DATE? The Department of Home Affairs may cap the number of visas granted in a financial year. Capped applications are placed in a queue. A queue date confirms the application has cleared its initial assessment and is now formally waiting for a final visa assessment. Based on current information, the processing time for this visa subclass is estimated at around 22 years.
βοΈ 31 JULY 2026 β VISITOR (SPONSORED FAMILY STREAM) (SUBCLASS 600) GRANTED
β’ Our client had been refused multiple times before coming to us, due to the fact that Venezuela is treated as a high-risk country with prolonged political and economic instability. A history of refusals makes each subsequent application harder, not easier. However, extensive documentary evidence and a written submission that addressed every ground of the previous refusals, changed the outcome of this visa application.
π 1 AUGUST 2026 β AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP CERTIFICATE ISSUED
The final step to officially become an Australian citizen. Welcome home !!
π¦πΊ 14 AUGUST 2026 β TWO CITIZENSHIP APPROVALS ON THE SAME DAY
Two clients, two different pathways.
β’ APPLICANT AGED 16β17: A 16 or 17 year old permanent resident can apply for Australian citizenship in their own right β they do not need to apply through a parent, and they are NOT required to meet the full four-year general residence requirement. This is a pathway many families do not realise exists!
β’ APPLICANT AGED 18β59: Approved on 14 August 2026 β and invited to a citizenship ceremony on 24 August 2026, within two weeks of approval!
π 27 AUGUST 2026 β BRIDGING VISA B GRANTED, with a five-year travel facility
β οΈ IMPORTANT: A Bridging Visa A (BVA) does not permit travel. If you leave Australia on a BVA, you will lose your BVA!
π THANK YOU to every client who trusted us with their matters.
