winterveld234 1 Posted May 12 Hi All, I hope this is the fight spot, finding it difficult to pick a Migration agent to assist us with our application. We awould not have areally easy application as my husband has heart condition. Im hoping we can get good avice on Visa etc with the health issue involved. His meds cost approx £150 per month, he works full time etc. In good fettle though but really want to get the best application in..... We are based in Dublin, Ireland. Family of 5 + 2 doggies! Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marisawright 9,314 Posted May 12 George Lombard is the agent most often recommended for people with health issues. As you know, the issue is whether your husband's medical costs will exceed the threshold.

winterveld234 1 Posted May 13 Thanks Path2aus and Marisawright, ok thats super helpful, getting the Skills assessment done asap and preparing for the IELTS in the next few weeks, want to give this my best shot. @Marisawright, yes that had been my concern. His medication coast approx £150 per month so could you remind what that threshold is and the time frame? Thats my main worry....I can do a lot from my own end but If we are going to be reused a visa due to medication costs then Id have to know all of this from the get-go....

George Lombard will be able to tell you, before you even start applying for the visa. What the medication costs in the UK doesn't mean much, what matters is what it's going to cost the Australian government over the relevant timeframe. And that's not just based on his meds, but other medical costs as well, including how his health might deteriorate during that time. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/meeting-our-requirements/health/protecting-health-care-and-community-services Edited May 13 by Marisawright 1 Scot by birth, emigrated 1985 | Aussie husband applied UK spouse visa Jan 2015, granted March 2015, moved to UK May 2015 | Returned to Oz June 2016 "The stranger who comes home does not make himself at home but makes home itself strange." -- Rainer Maria Rilke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wrussell 2,250 Posted May 14 The health criteria are one of the more complex areas of migration law. Do not try to be your own expert, or rely on advice offered on a public forum.
