Although its a bit more expensive it may be possible for us. Whatr I dont understand, is that you can only apply for these while in OZ? Do you know if this process of visa's is any quicker than the cpv 143. We would both be elegable for these visa's by 2009 so in 2010 it wouldn't be a problem.Could you find out how long the wait is for all the aforementioned visa's
Thank you and God Bless.

Hi Ann
Hey! I'm a lawyer so my dog is named Loophole. What Loophole does is none of my business. If he is in need of moral guidance, I recommend that Loophole goes and has a chat with the vicar, the Rabbi or someone else with suitable qualifications for the provision of moral advice. Lawyers are not trained to provide moral assistance of any description.
Loophole is a well-educated mutt. Loophole was educated by Cambridge University. He reads Australian Migration Review Tribunal cases in his spare time and he is particularly interested in Parent migration for reasons known only to Loophole.
According to Loophole, Parents of a certain age have been known to enter Australia on 90 day ETAs, intending no more than a short visit to Australia for the purposes of tourism only. Seemingly (so Loophole tells me, anyway) after arrival in Oz these Parents have undergone a change of heart & mind so dramatic that its like has not been seen since the Transformation of Saul on the Road to Damascus. Instead of the short visit originally intended,
they have changed their minds, so Loophole says, and have therefore decided that they would prefer to remain in Australia indefinitely, I am informed.
It would appear that they have then trotted off and consulted another dog called Ozloophole very soon after arrival in Oz. Ozloophole has discovered that they entered Oz on 90-day ETAs. Ozloophole knows that this visa cannot attract Condition 8503.....
I have challenged Loophole and told him, "No matter what your Australian friend says, the other one has bells on, Loophole..." Loophole snuggles up to me and whispers, "How can you prove
intent, Grandma? More to the point, how can DIAC prove intent? According to Ozloophole, the original Instructions to him were, "I would like to extend my 90-day ETA. Could you please explain to me how to do this?" Ozloophole has contemporaneous notes of this conversation, he says."
With that, he and Ozloophole climb into their respective baskets and push up the zzzzzs.
DIAC officers read this forum, so let us hope that this post amuses their readers.
Cheers
Gill
