Alijon Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I would like to join my Family in Australia. In Perth I have a Sister, Brother in Law and Nephew he is a Policeman. In Adelaide I have a Daughter and Son in Law. In Brisbane I have a Daughter, Son in Law and two Australian Grandsons. I am 70 years old in March and I understand I will have to pay as an aged Parent. I still work and stay very fit go to the Gym every day. Sponsorship is not a problem, we have lots of choice. My Wife is only 52 years old and not their mother, so not an aged Parent. So which Visas do we apply for and how much will it cost for both of us to emigrate . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickyNook Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Does your wife have any children of her own? Do you have any other children who don't live in Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip1 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 As has been mentioned do you have other children and does your wife have children. You will need to pass the balance of family test which means you will need to have at least 50% of your children PR in Oz. This includes step children so your wife's children if she has any will be included in the numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip1 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Having the sister, brother in law and Nephew there won't have any relevance in getting a visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alijon Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Does your wife have any children of her own? Do you have any other children who don't live in Australia? My wife does not have any children of her own. I have a son who lives in England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Sounds like you pass the BoF test then. There are two basic streams for parents - contributory and non-contributory, and then there are aged and "normal" versions within each. Non-contributory visas cost $3870 + $1935 (primary and secondary applicant) plus costs for medicals, police checks, etc. Although reasonably inexpensive in immigration terms, the processing time is at least 10 years (DIBP says 30 years on their website). Contributory visas are much faster, taking approx. 2 years to process, but you pay for this speedy turnaround. Literally. The contributory visa costs approx. $50,000 per applicant (that's not a typo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alijon Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Does my Wife really have to pay the same as me $50.000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alijon Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Does my Wife actually have to pay the same as I do. $50.000 At 52 years of age she is a long from retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alijon Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 I can understand my fee if $25.000 But I don't understand my Wife's Which Visa does she need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip1 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 She would be going on a parent visa too. I believe it's about $50 per applicant. It's nothing to do with how far from retirement you are (I wish it was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
