Please see the following links: Family - Visas & Immigration Parent Migration Booklet If your Parents are able to submit an application so that it reaches the POPC (Perth Offshore Parents Centre) by no later than 30th June 2008, the costs would be as follows: 1st Instalment (covering both Parents) : $1,390 2nd Instalment (payment of this is the final step before the visa is granted) $31,555 per parent, not per couple, So I make that $64,500 for 2 CP visas. In addition, a Bond of $14,000 for a couple must be lodged, as surety against the Parents failling on hard times and needing to claim certain Socialk Security Benenfits. The Bond is held for 10 years and is then refunded in full provided that none of the relevant Benefitrs have been claimed during that time. Your Parents' ailments do not sound as if they will cause any problems at all, so don't worry about that. If it is possible to get their application submitted before 30 June 2008 then so much the better because the fees will rise on 1 July 2008. Last year the fees for the actual visa rose by about 7.5%, though there was nno alteration in hte amount of the Bond I would suggest that you read the DIAC bumph first and then come back to me if youu have more questions.
