Son on a ADHD waiting list

[tina1606]

Hello all, 

we have just started our visa process for a 186 visa. Our 7 year old has been on a ADHD waiting list for the past year but now that we want to make the move, I realise it might be a problem. Now we are thinking to take him off the waiting list but could that still be a problem as they will see that he was on a waiting list? 

Thanks

I understand they ask you if you have any concerns and/or if you have ever referred him to any specialistic.   As your answer would have to be yes, I can’t see that taking him off the list would work.

ADHD doesn’t qualify as a disability in most states and doesn’t attract any additional funding so it’s probably not going to be an issue but you do need to honestly answer questions about any concerns. It’d be worth running it past one of the agents who specialise in medical issues along with all assessments (which they will probably ask for) of cognitive ability, skill levels, adaptive behaviour etc.

Always answer any question honestly..... or it will come back and bite you.
