Child visa query

[tiaishia]

The processing time for child visa is very short, less than 3 months actually for most cases. It is around $2000 USD. My husband and I have gone back in forth on this as well, wether to wait to have baby here in the US, (Our Australia visa is finalized), or to have baby in Australia, (go to Australia before visa is finalized). I think cost wise it narrows down to the same for us. Go over later with two people working, pay child visa fee. Or go over while pregnant and have one one source of income for a few months. It all about the timing really. If we are preg while visa is in process, we can notify application status

Hi ,

 

I am on 489 visa and have applied for 887 visa, recently I have

added my newborn girl in 887 application (my wife and my daughter, they are

overseas). DIBP has added my daughter in application but they said, my daughter

must be in Australia for a decision. my wife is on 489 subsequent entrant visa

and he has already visited australia.

 

my question is, can I apply visitor visa for my

daughter to bring her into Australia for 887 decision?

 

your help will be highly

appreciated. thanks!

Thanks for the reply, but my child is born outside Australia and the information mentioned in above link is for child born in Australia.
