Hi everyone
this has probably been asked before, if so perhaps someone could point me to the right thread.
Our son is hoping to emigrate in the new year, all being well. My hubby and I hope to follow asap. Am I right in thinking we will need to apply for the 143 visa (parent contribution)?
Do we have to wait until he has been in work for 2 years or is it from when he first entres the country?
Am I right in thinking that he is expected to sponsor us for 10 years? Do they look at his bank accounts, if so he won't have the funds. We are able to fend for ourselves but would we need to put money into his bank account?
We hope to get part-time work, anything really. What is the prospect of 2 x 50s getting work. Are we too old?
Hope this is not too long a question.
Thanks.
