Hi,
I have been offered sponsorship on 186 DE visa recently. My 10yr old son has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. He is in mainstream school, functioning well. Independent with his daily needs. About to sit his SATs this year. He doesn't require a 1-1 that I'm told in school and he hasn't got a EHCP in place. I'm just looking on good outcomes for being granted a visa for myself and my family. Is there any information I could gather to help with the process?
Thanks in advance
We have been in this situation before, my son has autism and he was 9 years old when our 186 DE was rejected. Depending on your occupation, you will have chance to execute a Health Waiver in case your visa got rejected. At this point, I would suggest you get an assessment from the specialist(Psychologist, OT, Speech, Pedia). Talk to them to give you positive reports although most of the time they will be honest with their findings. These reports will be use as basis for the MOC to provide estimate on the cost that the government will spend on your son for his welfare, schools, etc.
If ever you reach to a point that you need to appeal your case to AAT, PM me I'm willing to share information on how we won our case. Don't lose hope, look for a good immigration lawyer who is passionate and will fight for your case -- he/she doesn't need to be famous on Google search!
All the best!

AAT appeal lodged back in April 2019, I guess mine will take longer. Will watch this thread.
Just to share our timeline, our case is a bit complex as one of my son failed the health criteria due to his Autism. Tons of documentation we prepared to show that we can mitigate the cost and we are fortunate we get ample support from family, friends, employers, schools, & community. Our case was remitted back to the Immigration Department without going thru face to face hearing. Wow, our visa application took close to 5 years at this stage but we are happy that we passed the biggest hurdle after the rejection. Currently waiting for the correspondence from Immigration on the next step. I will keep you posted!
