Angie333 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hi, been a while since I logged on as I've been settling in and enjoying my married life in Oz but I wonder if anyone can give me a bit of advice please. I came to Oz a couple of years ago after getting remarried and am at the second stage of my visa being processed to permanent. I am loving Australia and am happy settling in with a great job and my family here but I do miss my family back home. My youngest son was originally going to emigrate with me but he stayed in the UK as he was in full-time education and then ended up having a major spinal operation that stopped him from flying. What I'd like to know is whether with him having been in education all this time at college whether there is anyway that he could come as a my dependent child even though he has been staying with his dad the last two years? He is 19 due to turn 20 next month. My eldest son is here at the moment on his second whv and is hoping to do a student visa next and eventually stay as an enrolled nurse, as he has worked in aged/disability care and enjoys it. He is currently doing the whv to save money for this as its pretty expensive as an international student. Be glad of any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkin Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Have you been financially supporting him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 It would be hard and there are a number of things that have the potential to stop it. Even his health. My advice is to speak to a good agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkin Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Also when you applied for your visa, how did you declare him? Non- migrating dependent? If you did not declare him as at least this, there is no chance of sponsoring him for a child visa now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
