fattony Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hi All, quick question ..I'm applying to move from my current 457 to PR in a couple of weeks via a "decision ready" application via a migration agent . I have a son (24) back home in Uni currently finishing off his Masters in Dec 2013 and he is a full time student and is currently a dependent on my 457 and will also be included as a dependent on my PR app (age limit is 25 as long as in full time ed and dependent ) There is a break over the summer Aug to end of Sep where he wants to come over to Oz and take a part time job for a few months (20hrs a week) I'm concerned that if he takes a job in Oz even at only 20 hrs a week that he may be classed as a "non-dependant" family member and not qualify under my PR app ...anybody any thoughts ..apart from the obvious ..i.e tell him not to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I think you may be right, but new rules did come in for dependants who had been on 457 going to pr, so you might be ok. I'd ask your migration agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I would be a little worried about the timing of this as employer sponsored visas are so slow. I see from other posts you are something in the medical profession, it is a shame you did not go for skilled migration a long time ago, you still could you know...
