purpleal Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 We have lodged a CPV 143 visa for my mother, which has been acknowledged and first VAC paid for. Now, having a look at that new temporary parent visa which has been announced, it seems that there will be no balance of family test applied to this. We have never been able to entertain the thought of sponsoring my husband's mother to come here as she fails the balance of family test - my husband here and two siblings in the UK and USA. However, if no BOF test is applied, we would happily sponsor her to come over - are we able to sponsor more than one parent on parent visa's? Financially looking after them both wouldn't be a problem and they would both live with us. (no In-law jokes please - we all get on really well!) Thanks!

Mark Northam Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Hi Purpleal - In my view it's too early to make any judgments based on this new proposed visa - the details are simply not yet available and still very much undecided about this new visa. I'd certainly keep a close eye on this as things develop, but it may be too early to abandon the sc143 application based on aspirational ideas that have been floated for this new proposed visa. Best, Mark Northam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Lombard Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Hi Purpleal, A good idea to make a submission, see http://www.border.gov.au/ReportsandPublications/Documents/discussion-papers/discussion-paper-introducing-tem-visa-parents.pdf .

purpleal Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi, Many thanks for your replies. We definitely won't be abandoning the CPV application for my mother - she most definitely wants the security of a permanent visa. My question was more in relation to being able to sponsor more than one parent. IE, my mother get's granted the 143 with myself as the sponsor and my husband the financial assurer. If this new temporary visa goes ahead (let's assume with no BOF requirements) would my husband be able to sponsor his mother and be her financial assurer despite also being the financial assurer of my mother? Is there a limit as to how many parents you can sponsor and be a financial assurer of? Thanks, Adrienne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta2 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Be careful what you wish for. The cost of providing private health cover for them for years (without the private health insurance rebate) could prove very expensive. There will also be an Assurance of Support. Parents will not be eligible for aged care. Have a look at the cost of so-called private aged care when there is no government assistance.

Thanks - I was hoping one of the agents could let me know if it was possible to sponsor more than one parent ie my mother AND my mother-in-law. I wasn't sure if there is a limit as to how many people you are able sponsor/offer to be financial assurer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wei Shu Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Short answers: 1. No limitation on number of sponsorships can be made, or No of people can be sponsored, but there will be sponsorship obligation requirement test. 2. You can not sponsor in-laws.

Thanks for your reply. I will sponsor my mother and my husband would sponsor his mother so we would be ok in that regard. Can my husband act as financial assurer for both my mother AND his mother?

Wei Shu Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 1) There will be income test on him. 2) One can only give AOS to not more then 2 adults at any one time. 3) Since there is no regulation in relation to the new visa as yet, will have to wait and see if this still correct or current.
