Dennic Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Hi all, My mum and dad would love to move to Perth to be with us BUT They have 3 children and 7 grandchildren in the uk and only me and 3 grandchildren in Perth... My dad is their stepdad and I'm his only blood, what are the chances of getting a parents visa? They are willing to do the contribution one although we don't know how much this is? Any and all help is welcome Thank you :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolac34 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Unfortunately not any chance unless you convince some of your siblings to up sticks and move to Australia. You're parents have to pass the balance of family test - that is more children in Australia than anywhere else. So in your case two of the four children would need to be PR in Australia for them to qualify, doesn't matter if you're siblings are step-siblings they are all in the same basket. https://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/family/balance-family.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linday Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 As parents of a permanent resident they will be able to apply for a three year visitor visa which will allow them to visit for up to 12 months in any 18 month period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
