wrussell Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 The senate has disallowed the legislation, so the visas that were removed are open again; for a limited time. I advisew anyone who is thinking of applying for one of these visa to contact a registered migration agent and get an application lodged.

Alan Collett Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Message now updated on the DIBP website. For example, at the Aged Parent subclass 804 page: http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/804.aspx This visa was previously repealed and closed from 2 June 2014 until 25 September 2014. Applications are now accepted for this visa. If you lodged an application during the period when the visa was repealed then you need to lodge a new application. Good news for many, I think!

George Lombard Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 And Alan I'm sure that people need to focus on the processing times for non-contributory parent, carers, and remaining relatives/aged dependent relatives. This means that although these are apparent savings - a way to get around the Contributory Parent Visa charges for example - in practice they're not going to be all that favourable. From the link you've provided: Non-Contributory Parent visa – approximately 30 years Carer visa – approximately 4.5 years Remaining Relative and Aged Dependent Relative – approximately 56 years.

Alan Collett Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Hi George. Yes, waiting times are lengthy - but I find that many are happy to spend many years in Australia holding BVs, particularly if they can access emergency Medicare under a RHCA. For some an Aged Parent visa is the only affordable way they can spend any meaningful time with children and grandchildren in Australia. And even if a CP visa is affordable the $80k or so saved with an Aged Parent visa application can be compelling. Best regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Alan, we are currently going through the visa application process with Go Matilda, and are really happy with the support and work you have all done for us. Could you tell me whether an aged parent with early onset dementia would be considered for this type of visa, if able to support themselves? Thanks.
