Hello everyone,
I am in the process of applying visa 143 for my parents and including my sister (who is 19 this year). My parents are both living oversea and my sister is currently studying full time in Australia as international student (fully dependent on my parents financially). Because my parents both live outside of Australia so we are going to apply as offshore application.
My concern is as per form 47PA, under "Who the form covers" it says, "if you are outside Australia and applying for an offshore visa, you cannot include any members of your family unit who are in Australia at the time you lodge your application, as migrating with you in this application". So does it mean, in order to include my sister as migrating with my parents, at the time we lodge the visa, she will need to leave Australia? Does she need to be out of Australia the entire duration of visa application processing or just the time of lodgement and visa grant?
Can someone shed a light on it?
