I don’t think you will have a problem when converting your 173 to 143 even considering your current age. And it probably won’t matter now if you are no longer dependent.

You already passed all the ‘tests’ for dependency when your 173 was granted. It would not be fair to make you go back home now just because the CPV process is now taking so long. I think you only need to be ‘dependent’ at the time you make the 173 application, but it would be best to check with a good immigration agent.

When did you apply for your 173 and when was it granted?

In fact, my father had 173, after a few year he become a citizen aus and he's the sponsor for me ( not my brother). So I thought that I applied 173 as a dependent. After contact with immigration agent, I know that I have misunderstood. The visa I lodged is not a 173/143 visa.

Given that there is now a large anti immigration policy  in Australia it does seem unfair that adults of 27 could take up a scarce parent visa space. I understood that only the adult dependants up to age 23 who were mentally and physically disabled were allowed. Then of course they would have difficulty passing the medical! 

The policy concerning adult dependants needs to be changed in the light of the cut backs in parent visas - it would be almost unheard of for UK applicants to have dependants aged 27! 

 

SORRY u, i have contacted a migrant agent. I have a confusion about the type of visa I applied, that is not visa 173/143. Thank you  for your comment. The problem should stop here. Sorry for causing misunderstanding.

But this person will be at least 30 by the time the 143 is apprived. No way will they be seen as a dependent

Firstly I am surprised you are included on your parents 173 visa - I did not think this visa took 4+ years to obtain (assuming your parents applied when you were 23) and since you are 27 that would assume they must of applied at least 4 years ago!!  Obviously as you are not sure whether you should work or not would suggest you are fit and able to work and therefore not really dependent on your parents - this in my opinion kind of makes a mockery of the visa process - no wonder Australia want to reduce immigration

I agree whole heartedly. The 143 visa is for parents, there a few enough 143 visas and someone of 27 years old is not a child so should be applying for a different visa. This loophole definitely needs to be closed. This may sound hard but unless the person is mentally or physically disabled I can’t see why they are entitled to a Parent Visa.

I've just been trying to imegine the situation, and I have to admit it would be driving me insane! All those years unable to work and dependent on the parents for home, pocket money, clothes etc etc. Might sound appealing for a short while but if I'd still been dependent at 27 I'd have been crawling the walls trying to get away!! What the hell would you DO all day?!

Thats without considering whether an able-bodies, employable 27 year old ought to still be dependent. I guess it was the only way of getting visas for the whole family......

SORRY GUYS, i have contacted a migrant agent. I have a confusion about the type of visa I applied, that is not visa 173/143. Thank you everyone for your comments. The problem should stop here. Sorry for causing misunderstanding.

Hi 

maybe you should speak to an immigration officer about whether you are dependent on your parents and what the meaning of dependent means regarding immigration.  Clearly if you are workin, or indeed able to work,  I can’t understand how you would be dependent on them.  However, I am not an immigration expert and can only offer my opinion.  I suggest you speak to a professional regarding your future dependent status.

Also surely you can not apply for a 143 as you are not the parent of the sponsor?

The fact you ask can you go to work whilst waiting would indicate you are not dependant as you are capable of getting a job. 

I'm on the parents application as a dependent.

 Condition 173: Associated children must be under 18 years of age (or may be 18-23 if the dependent child is totally dependent on you) .... and I'm the associated child. 

my brother's the sponsor for my family. visa 173 has been completed. When applying for a 143 visa, some people say that I must continue to depend on the family for the duration of my 143 visa. So I feel confused, I used to think that I could get a job instead of continuing to depend on my family. 

Hello everyone, please help me with this
My family has finally received a 173 visa. We will go to aus in August. Now, I am 27 years old , so my question is when I apply for a 143 visa, do I need to prove that I still have to depend on my parents? Or can I go to work while waiting for my 143 visa being granted

And how long does it take for 143 granted ?

Thanks
