Thanks so much for the comments which all of you gave to me . That's really kind of you . Could i just close the question that i asked in my first post ? As i think it may lead to an unwanted argument . I appreciate and respect everything !!! Have a nice weekend ! Sorry for my bad English that is likely to make you misunderstood cause honestly i am not good at English .

My sister applied the visa when i was 21 years old . She sent proof of enrollment as at that time when i was still studying in the first university and others like bank statements of mine ...etc . I think that is really much at the beginning but CO must require more to prove dependency and it is even harder than before since the rule have changed . Hope that you are right ! Thanks so much for your opinion Ammy !

Thanks for your contributory opinion ! I appreciate it .

I applied in 2018 after the new rule had changed in November 2016 .

I really appreciate with you comment that cheers me up a lot !!! Once again thank you so much !

I have got the point . Thanks a lot for your advice . Maybe i 'd better find another way to go rather than waiting for this

Thanks for your contribution ! I chose to study another course that is less point required to get skilled visa than the previous one which i had finished last year as back up . I got confused as different agents had different outcomes even they are all registered migration agents and my sister called to the visa center then they said yes at the time we lodged the application but it was kind of untrustable as they were doing customer services not like CO . I am so sad and depressed now

Thanks so much for your compliment ! I had considered a lot before i made this decision as the course that i graduated from at that time and until now required a really high points according to points-based system for skilled visa . I did not have enough point for that visa due to age and not having partner point . I know it is a shame to be a dependant as i am not too young to be in that way but i am so scared to live alone . My sister really wants us to come and live with her too

Thanks for your understanding !

Hi everyone , I am new here and i have read many of the topics in this forum that i think they are related to my case but i still get confused cause there are lots of different opinions . My sister applied visa 143 for my parents and i ( i was 21 years old at lodged date in 2018 ) . I had advice from various registered immigration agents and they all told us as long as i keep being dependant then i am still eligible to be in the application and get the visa because the age is counted on lodgement date as the processing time is variable so it is hard to keep the child's age not growing . I have just noticed about the rule changed in November 2016 and set the limit age is 23 for two months and recently talked to another registered immigration agent and she explained the new rule for me like this . Is this reliable or could anyone give any opinion ? Now , I am studying my second bachelor degree and have not worked yet . I am really worried and exhausted about it at the moment since i am so scared to be leaving back and my parents do not want it either. Thanks a lot for your attention . I really appreciate for any contributions !!!
