Hi, Did you submit your application online?
How did you upload the travel history as required in the GCkey checklist. Is it a imm form?

That is correct! one of the IMM forms requires you to outline travel history over the last 5 years or something. You also have to supplement with scan of ALL stamped pages on the applicants passport

Okay perfect thanks.
There is a separate point in the checklist which says Travel History (Required). Do I just upload the scanned pages there? No IMM form required there?
Also what proof can I provide that shows my parents visit is more than 15 days?
Thank you.

Just write a letter to your parents to invite them! Tell them to send copy with other document to the visa office

Hi Bs65,

Yeah i did. However those numbers are indicative of all Visitor visa applications. Immediate family applications are prioritised apparently and should take a shorter time. However these are still dependent on external factors in each country like VFS offices still remaining closed and so on.

Hi,

I submitted online. They have the links to the PDF forms, which are IMM forms, that you need to fill in online when you are filling up the application. You have to fill in those PDF forms and submit. Should there not be an option to add additional rows in the PDF, you need to write the remaining rows in a separate document and upload it under the additional documents.

Hi,

Yes i have submitted an invitation letter stating the reason of visit and sponsorship of funds needed for travel and stay as well as purpose of travel. Notarisation of that letter is up to you. However certain processing offices might ask you for a notarised letter of invitation after your submission, this is usually at the discretion of the processing offices.

Yes you upload the scanned pages there. IMM forms only need to be submitted at the portions where they are provided for download. I submitted a return ticket to show more than 15 days. However, others just attached a proposed itinerary of visit.
