saz71 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 We're just preparing to apply for 176 visa after obtaining a successful skills assessment and state sponsorship from Victoria. I've been going through the forms today to ensure I've got all the information together. My husband has 2 daughters from a previous relationship. They were born in NZ and are NZ citizens (we're in the UK). His ex remained in NZ and has full custody but he obviously sends maintenance so they will be included as non migrating dependants on our app. My concern is the medical checks and whether this will be required if they are NZ citizens ? Just worrying in advance about the logistics of this because of the distance between us and organising things like this (although I appreciate we'll have time to sort out over the coming months!)

Pumpkin Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 They will be asked to present for medicals, these can be done in New Zealand too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saz71 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Thanks for the reply Pumpkin, getting medicals done could prove to be difficult so I think I'll contact some migration agents for advice as although we have time to try and sort I'd rather know what the score is before we submit our app and pay the fee - I'd hate for us to be unsuccessful because of this.

Claretjon Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 You can complete an acknowledgment of understanding (I think thats what it is called) which advises DIAC what steps you took to try and get the medical done and confirms that should the non migrating dependants wish to obtain a visa for Oz in the future, they must apply for their own visa. Obviously, this is just if you're unable to get the medical done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, this is just if you're unable to get the medical done Thanks Claretjon - that's reassuring. I may be overly pessimistic and it may be that we can organise things OK but at least there may be some way of sorting it should the worst case scenario happen.

Guest Coxy04 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 R they migrating with you? Doesn't sound like they are. If they're not migrating with you, tho you have to put them on visa form, they won't be getting visa, so won't be needing to do medicals> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All dependents need to, migrating or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 My husband has 2 daughters from a previous relationship. How old are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saz71 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 How old are they? They are 13 and 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 They are 13 and 11 In that case medicals will be called for. You might be able to get out of it if the custodial parent will not cooperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claretjon Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 How about an 8 year old Westly? This is the secondary applicants child, who will not be emigrating. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
