Hello All. I'm new to this forum. We're applying for the parent contributory visa, our son is sponsor and we've been assigned a case officer. However, our son is not currently in Australia and we're now running into complications with the AoS. Our son is returning to Aus at the end of the year but that's not soon enough. We've been told that there are companies that act as assurers for a fee. Does anyone know of these companies please?
