NishK Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hello everyone! I am working on bringing my mother permanently to Australia on the 143 visa We meet the balance of family test so that's not an issue My question is I only want to bring in my mother and not my father due to some personal reasons. I have had a cursory look through the forms and it asks for why one parent is being brought in and not the other. Does anyone have any experience with that. What reason did you provide to the department? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulip1 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 As Marisa has said. They’re asking why, just tell them. There must be a good reason why your parents will spend their life living apart when your mum gets her visa, be honest and explain why. I assume you are aware the wait time fir those applying now is at least 8 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NishK Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 It's a very complicated family setup that I am going to find very difficult to explain to them! Yeah I am aware it's 7-8 years which is a complete bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will ask questions so better to give them the whole story upfront Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What reason did you provide to the department? Thanks The reason this is asked is to stop people not including one parent to avoid the 2VAC (medicare levy) fee and then trying to do a partner visa once one parent has PR. There are now exclusion periods in these circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
