Leeds girl Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Hi all just wondered what are others thoughts . To cut a long story short me partner and child have a permanent aus visa ,Rrv got to return in approx 2.5 yrs . Lived there over 2.5 yrs returned to sort things but life got in way approached to adopt two children all legally uk approved and finalised. With help of agent again like before we submitted May this year received Perth start of May, adoption visa x 2 requested . Now we want to leave next August to nov however looking at processing times not sure if feasible . We need to get settled if the wait goes up do we go and pay and reapply on shore or wait?will this go against us ? We are looking positive at this time as selling and preparing but can’t wait forever . thanks x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I don't believe you have the option to apply for adoption visas onshore. Australia is very strict about the Hague Convention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds girl Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Hi Marisa thanks for the quick response yes aus are very strict re hague convention and they need to be as not all adoptions give full parental rights . Before covid it had to be off shore but they have temporarily changed this to onshore applications as well but we opted off shore as aus govt often change the rules quickly and we like all sorted and in place don’t like to take risks when kids involved x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I recommend you speak to a good registered migration agent. There are a number who post regularly on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhand Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 If you already have an agent working on this, then you should direct the question(s) to them. That is, after all, what you are paying them for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
