Hello All! It’s been a while! An update on this thread, my son didn’t decide to come over to Oz, however we have a major issue now, my ex partner suddenly died, and i’m in the UK sorting out affairs, I’m at a lose in regards to my options now, The visa details online state a child visa will take 12months plus when submitted outside Australian or even when submitted inside Australia. My plan is to take them back to Oz, i have no other choice obviously. But where does that leave me with schooling, medi care etc? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks Steven

Hey Chicken, Yeah his mother is on board but just, obviously she doesn't want to let her son go, she wants him to stay with her, as any mother would, but she says she'll do what's going to be the better long term option, Without a doubt the schooling and outdoors activities are 2nd to none for children over here, I still believe that it's a dream for some people to move over here and have the opportunity to live, but I agree with snifter, that the thought process on that is lost on a 12year old, But as far as I've read, unless my son or daughter is a 'dependant' eg in full time education they would need to emigrate to Oz on their own merits rather than piggy back on my visa, hence why I thought maybe citizen through decent my be an option but didn't think the Oz immigration would leave that as a loop hole, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup, they were both declared and NMD's but I still had to take them for Medicals for my visa process, I knew that I'd have to cross this bridge at 1 point but wasn't sure what options I'd have? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Snifter, Another question? My wife and our son got citizen through decent via his mum, If I obtained my citizenship would my children be entitled to it through decent? My son has been well advised that although he's on holiday, that normal life applies in Oz, we all work, he will join a new school etc, it's a weird 1, as my son has always wanted to live with me even back in the uk but his mother put a stop to it, and I didn't force the issue as there was no real proof he'd have a better quality of life, but obviously living in australia is an opportunity of a life time for most people and my children have the opportunity handed on a plate, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Morning fellow Pommers!!! I have a little dilemma, My wife and I emigrated last year, leaving behind my 2 children from my previous relationship, My 2 children have now came over for a holiday and my son (12yrs old) is adamant he wants to move over, I remember having to get both kids a medical when going through the visa process for spouse visa subclass 100, but didn't really understand why as my kids weren't migrating with us not included in the application, What are my possible options? Applying for a child visa? Should I just apply for both children as my daughter likes it here but doesn't want to leave her mum but will come for a holiday every year ranging from 3-6 weeks at a time? Any info would be greatly received, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congratulations @amdaloia a weight lifted

Sounds like nonsense to me in all honesty, I lodged my paper application at London House and was received by them on the 6th November, I received my grant on the 14th July 2014, So what they have told you makes no sense to me, its like its just the luck of the draw who you're CO is. My CO was really quick with replies and confirming info had been received etc.

I'm not sure how it all works, My visa was straight forward as such, We submitted ours paper based application 6th November 2013, case officer KC got in touch via email in December about 6weeks after it was lodged, She at that point asked for extra info in regards to hoe me and my wife met and future plans together etc. Then I had another email saying all the info they had was ok and I was to book my medical and police checks after 6th april. Done all that, then she asked for an explanation on my police check as I had been a naughty boy, so sent that in, final email before my grant was she had everything and that it had been passed to the senior migration manager. 8months and a week I think I got my grant letter through. So I don't think there is any reason or rhyme on grant times.

Yeah you have been granted the PR Visa 100, no need for the 309 as you've been with ur hubby a long time and have a family together, Surprised you didn't just get the grant through when you emailed
-
You can plan ahead to a certain extent, We moved out our house and into my inlaws and rented our house out so we could save some cash, we got the shipping company round to pack up our stuff and hold it in storage until we say ship. Only other thing we didn't do was book flights. But we can do that now. So in my opinion you can get the ball moving and be ready as soon as it comes through. Unless you have concerns about ur application eg convicted criminal who spent time in jail etc then I wouldn't do a thing until the visa arrived.

Any day now for you I'm sure!! Are you ready to leave for Oz as soon as you get it?

Yeay Just got my Visa Grant email through........ PR SubClass 100 [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] Could not be happier! 8months and 7days.

Congrats

I see, thanks. I just went back and re-read all the emails just incase I had missing something but that email was back in May. My last proper contact with KC other than sending a new copy of my updated passport.

What does it mean when your "file has been passed to the senior migration officer"?
