Paul O Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Hi there,I have my daughter in Australia and one son living in England so all ok for the Visa. Regards Your options are 173 temporary or 143 for your first application If you apply for the 173 visa you have 2 years to apply from the date of Grant (Not the date of Arrival) for the 143 it is easier to raise the lower fee for the first round then you have 2 years to put together the second instalment for the 143 If you have the full funds the 143 is the better way After you apply you will have approximately 18 months to 2 years to put together the final instalment for either the 173 or 143 application Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Farrow Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Hi Thankyou for that, I am applying for the 143 visa, my son in law is going to sponsor me. Downloaded all the forms and all ready to start filling them in. Hopefully if all goes well I will be in Brisbane in a couple of years Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul O Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 You can sponsor your parent for this visa if you are: 18 years of age or older a settled Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen. THIS means your son in law cannot sponsor you Has to be your daughter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Farrow Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hi, I will have to check this as I am sure when I looked it can be your child's spouse who can sponsor you. As long as they are a permanent resident or citizen and are "settled" which they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher1 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hi Heather just to let you know, if you haven't noticed it, there is a 'sticky' thread on parents visas, which you can find in migration issues in the forum. You might find it helpful to browse there too, as a lot of this stuff has been discussed there many times. I used it a lot when applying for my parent visa and had loads of help from fellow applicants. if you have a question someone nearly always replies within hours. Good luck with it all. If you do decide to go it alone and not use an agent it can be quite stressful, but you just need to keep your cool and be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul O Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Apologies for not looking further. [h=5]143.212[/h](1) The applicant is: (a) sponsored in accordance with subclause (2) or (3); or (b) taken, under subclause (4), to be sponsored in accordance with this clause. (2) If the child has turned 18, the applicant is sponsored by: (a) the child; or (b) the child's cohabiting spouse or de facto partner, if that spouse or de facto partner: (i) has turned 18; and (ii) is: (A) a settled Australian citizen; or (B) a settled Australian permanent resident; or © a settled eligible New Zealand citizen. This is the regulation. Yes the spouse - son in law can sponsor you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
