thanhphongct1 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hello everyone, I have some questions about dependent child added in visa subclass 143. I am a 20 year-old dependent child of my parents. They lodged the application for Contributory Parent visa on February, 2014 ( my sister is the sponsor ). It's been now 15 months but we still hear nothing, It means that our application has not been allocated yet. The problem is I am going to finish my 2-year college degree in the next few months ( maybe this September ). I am afraid that when i finish my full-time education, my application has still not been allocated. So i will not be able to be classified as my parents' denpendent child. so my dependency will be rejected and Aus Department of Immigration will refuse my visa when they assess it. The main question is whether I need to continue my full-time education untill they assess my application or not. I have been totally dependent on my parents since I turned 18. I attached some documents in the application to prove my dependency including bank statement (financial dependency), school statement that I am still a full-time student. is it strong enough. Anyone who has lots of ecperiences can tell me what I really should do next??? thanks u guys in advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Well your timing might just about work out for you. Otherwise, the safest thing to do would be to remain in full time education. I have heard of some adult children getting visas without being in full time education, but you would certainly massively increase your chances if you are.

rammygirl Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Usually dependence needs to be at time of grant. Did they use an agent? If so ask them the question. Not sure how long parent visas are taking but hopefully you will hear something soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank u so much, but do u know why those aldult children got their visas??? I had one year not being enrolled in full time education when i just finished my high school, but during that time i was still dependent on my parents, cause i went to another city to learn english at an english private school and i also got monthly money from my parents to pay for food, clothes and shelter ( we have bank statement to prove this). I then came back my home and enrolled in a 2-year full time education 4 mo ths before my parents applying for their contributory parent visa, so can i still be classified as my parents' dependent child????

I guess they were lucky. Wasn't going to a private school to learn English, full time education? If I were in your shoes, I would just ensure you are in education at time of via grant, to give yourself the best chance possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 My sons were 22 and 20 when we got our visa. Both in FT education. We had evidence that their permanent address was the same as ours and we paid them a monthly allowance. You have to be more dependent on your parents than any other source.

wrussell Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 You might be classified as a dependent relative, if you satisfy the applicable criteria. Being in full time study is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had evidence that their permanent address was the same as ours and we paid them a monthly allowance. You have to be more dependent on your parents than any other source. I have always been totally dependent on my parents 'cause I hav no other sources to depend on, although full time education is not mentioned on Aus Immi Website as a criteria to add dependent child, I decided to keep my full time education till the visa be assessed to get the best chance possible, you can see here: To include a dependent child in your visa application, the child must be: your child a stepchild from a current or a previous relationship (in certain circumstances). Acceptable documents that can show a parent-child relationship include: a certified copy of each child's birth certificate a certified copy of adoption papers. Your child or stepchild is considered to be dependent if any of the following apply: they are younger than 18 years of age they have turned 18 years of age and continue to be wholly or substantially reliant on you for their basic needs (food, clothing and shelter) they have a mental or physical disability that stops them from earning a living to support themselves (whether or not they migrate with the applicant). The child can be of any age. The child will still need to meet Australia’s health requirement. A child of any age is not considered to be dependent if they are currently married, engaged to be married or in a de facto relationship. Some visas require that the child has never been married or in a de facto relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
