Lookingforadventure 76 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hi, first my apologies finding anything about this is a complete minefield hoping someone can help me. My husband last yr discovered he was adopted since found birth father in oz been there 45 years. He also has a half brother and half sister. Father is in his 70's on a pension. My husband is 45 I am 38 we have 2 children 4 years and 4 ,months old. My husband has recently been made unable to work due to psoriatic arthritis and I own my own business but it's unskilled. We were considering moving to be close to his family (they're in new South wales) but unsure how we would fair eligibility wise if anyone has advice or can point me in the right direction that would be great. Unsure wether it's worth applying or if possible which visa we should apply for. We would have maybe 50k to start off with. Thank you for reading and hope I have put this in the correct place ? regards Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scattley Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Suggest you contact a RMA..as from what you hav posted you do not qualify for any visa apart from a visitor visa. As your husband was adopted he has no claim to his birth fathers citizenship in any way. You can still meet with a visitor visa, there is no need to look at migration.

Que Sera Sera Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 You need a skill that is on the skilled visa list either the SOL or the CSOL. Last remaining relative visa's wouldn't apply as he has a Wife and children and anyway they have all but stopped doing them and are taking 15 years or some such time. The other problem you have is that with your Husbands health he may not pass the Medical. Also if you were to come to Australia he would not be entitled to any form of benefits for at least two years. Tbere is a Business visa but my understanding is that the business has to have a very large turnover. To be sure it would be best to get an assessment from a registered migration agent.

Lookingforadventure 76 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Thank you que sera sera yes that's as I feared. My husbands condition is currently in a process of becoming controlled we are looking at within a year he will be able to work again. His brother has also said he would be able to assist him with a job although this would be unskilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Family sponsorship is a thing of the past, the 2 options are 489 family sponsored which requires occupation on SOL, and sponsor to live in regional Australia, given your husbands age he would likely not pass the points test as the main applicant. The other is last Remaining relative which the adoption would likely mean that you wouldn't qualify, even if you did there is a 56 year processing time (this is not a typo), then there is the issues in passing the medical. Going through your options with a registered migration agent would be best way forward, but tbh it doesn't look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookingforadventure 76 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Also we wouldn't be interested in the benefits system we don't use it here either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookingforadventure 76 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Thank you I will get all our information together and see about an RMA it may not be what I was hoping for but appreciate all your replies certainly makes things clearer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scattley Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Also we wouldn't be interested in the benefits system we don't use it here either. It doesnt matter if you dont plan to use any benefits...you legally will be able to and you cannot voluntarily choose not to ever take it. The real problem is I doubt that the Australian government will count any of your Biological family as your family anyway if the adoption was legal.
