Hello,
I and my wife moved to Australia on PR in January 2018. My mother (current age as of March 2019: 56 years and 1 month) has been single parent as my father passed away when I was really young. I am the only child and I mentioned my mother was "non-migrant dependent" during our PR application as she hasn't been working since I started earning for my family. I am in a serious need of best suggestions to decide best VISA options for my mother for longer stay.
1. I am eager to file for 143 when I complete 2 years on my PR in January 2020. But that visa takes 5-7 years to be granted.
During this time she has to go outside Australia for 6 months (after spending just under 12 months onshore) - since she is visiting on Subclass 600.
Question 1 for above point) How to prevent this? I am ready to take paid medical insurance and I just want her to spend longer time here. She staying at Home Country ALONE seriously concerns me because she goes into depression because of loneliness (she is last family member) - seriously affecting her health and no family member is there to take care of her.
Question 2 for above point) Any bridging visa I could file after applying for Subclass 143 so that she can stay onshore (Australia) for longer continuous time?
Question 3 for above point) Can I apply for Subclass 143 - when she is onshore (In Australia) in January 2020?
2. I came to know that it was announced on 1st March that new temporary long stay parent visa subclass 870 is going to be started from 17th April, 2019.
Question 1 for above point) Can anyone apply for this visa? - (I don't have to wait 2 years on my PR to file to be eligible etc)
Question 2 for above point) Can I apply for any other visa (such as 143 - if she has been granted 870?)
3. I just need my mother to stay with us (because she is last family member and there is absolutely NO one in home country) for continuous longer time - if I am missing any other method of VISA to apply (Doesn't matter if that requires me to maintain private medical insurance or not having any other government benefits) - Please suggest them.
I can't put enough stress into words and express importance of this post for my family. Would highly appreciate if I can get best suggestions.
Regards,
