Rupert Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 You don't need to pass the balance of family test as it doesn't sound like the parent visa you are considering. It is sometimes possible for people from HR countries to bring parents as dependents on their visa, not an easy application though and I would not do this by yourself. Also the child situation could be tricky as you will need parental permission. This is not time to go it alone, don't dismiss your mother, find another agent.

I most strongly advise that you consult a registered migration agent for an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIAC and the australian govt usually see elderly and disabled people as an "extra expense" on their govts resources...

Alex997 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Could anyone please guide, from their own experience or any of their friends' whether,the spouse application MUST be made BEFORE the visitor visa application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florenty Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hiiii... 1st querie: the Diac rules are clear get parental consent from the other parent or a court order declaring that you have the right to do so. You can include your daughter in your application, can you get a court order from your country..maybe your brother can connect you to a lawyer back home to explain the regulations in your country? or visit your embassy to see if they can advice or help? 2nd querie: as mentioned the more dependants you have the higher likelihood your application may fail the balance of family test is there someone your mum can stay with if visa is granted then you once your are there then start the process of getting her there permanently...as you will need time to settle get a job etc it'll be hard on you the first few months.. My advice: if you have no one who can be with your mum in the interim then you can wing it & add both (assuming you get the order or consent).....
