blossom Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 First off, how long ago did you apply? Your job has to be on the sol, which hairdresser isn't, unless you applied before feb 2010 for the 485 I believe. If you applied before then under the old rules then you would still be eligible for the visa. However, your daughter is only eligible if she is dependent when the visa is granted. By the sounds of it she isn't any more. Someone from my course applied for the 885 in December 2009 and theirs was approved a couple of months ago (same category as hairdresser). You have no way of knowing when your visa will be issued. How long has she been out of education? I think it may be too late. Engaged would only help if she (and he) were prepared to get married pretty sharpish. If they had been living together for a year they would be ok, but they would need lots of evidence, and if the relationship breaks down in the first three years (including the year living together to get the defacto visa in the first place) then she is back to having to leave the country. You are in a really tricky position, I would really invest in a migration agent ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied for mine 4 years ago, on 15/03/2012 and it's about to be finalised now (DIAC are just waiting for me to give them a return date, as I went offshore last year, but they recently sent me a pre-grant letter saying as per the condition for the 885 visa, I need to be back in the country by the time they make a final decision). If you check my signature, it will give you a time frame of how long it's taken for my application to be processed. But yes, it does take a while to get this visa!

lebourvellec Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 885 visa you would be Cat 5. If your daughter has left full time education and is currently working she would no longer be classed as a dependent. You would need to show that she has been fully dependent on you since turning 18. Being in full time education is the best way to prove this. You should speak to a registered migration agent quickly on the best way to keep your daughter as a dependent on you. Putting money in her accounts etc. If you daughter gets engaged she is no longer a dependent on you, and applying for a partner visa would be the one for her. Get advice now from a registered migration agent for the best stratagie to keep your daughter as a dependent. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blossom Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Ok, first off, when did you apply for your 485??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Check with another agent for sure. That is different to any advice I have seen before, and I have seen people who's children have been in the same situation and not got pr. And no, tafe fees would be international until you get pr.
