Mrs Fabricator Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 HI guys, small dilema/problem/concern/worry hope you may be able to help. Here's the thing, My mum, step dad and sister all live in Oz, my sis been there for over 7 years my parents are in their 3rd year. My mum has offered to sponsor me which is totally amazing and something I really want to do. I have no other family in UK, I dont see my biological father at all. I have looked and looked for visas and the only one that I have seen that would be good for me is the subclass 115, this has a waiting time of up to 10 years in some cases, this is far to long to wait...... I was looking through the application forms and they want to know everything. I have 2 children who live with their dad, I do not see them and they are both teenagers, I havent had contact with them for 6 years. Is this going to stop me moving to Oz? The whole things is driving me crazy, I had the worst 2011 and all my family in Oz want me to move over they think it would be the best thing ever for me to do and I feel the same I just dont know where to start or how to go about anything. Getting very confused. I know that the process takes time but 10 years is mad!! I have a degree in English Literature and was planning to do a PGCE starting in Sept with the aim of teaching in Oz, I have discovered that it is very hard to get into teaching over there and it costs alot to get registered etc so it makes me wonder if I should do it or not. Anyone who can give me advice or reassurance please do, Bex xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GoldCoastMag Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hi Bex, I am sure someone will be along soon who knows more than me or a call to a competent migration agent would send you in the right direction. Are you sure you are eligible for a last remaining relative visa, if your father is in England? From Diac's website <http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/family/115/> "Who is this visa for? This visa is for you if both of these apply: you have a brother, sister, parent (or step-equivalent) who is an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen usually resident in Australia you and your partner have no brothers, sisters, non-dependent children, parents (or step-equivalents) other than those in Australia. Your partner and other family members may be included in your application if they meet certain requirements." Is it possible that you could apply for a visa based on your skills? As I said I hope someone with more knowledge will be along soon with some other ideas. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Fabricator Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thank you for your reply. The visa is just for me. I am estranged from my biological father and my children are non-dependant on me (I dont see them) The skills I already have are not covered in the skills list hence why I thought this visa would be the best. I have done masses of reasearch and it keeps coming back to last remaining relative visa. I think you are right contacting amigration agent would be a good way to go. I will look into that. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
