Hi I was wondering if you can give me an idea whether we stand any chance of being able to emigrate over to Brisbane, Australia to be with my two sons and their families They have been in Australia for over 7 years.
My husband and myself were born in 1951 therefore we are both 65 this year. I have osteoarthritis and both hips have been replaced. My husband suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and it is controlled by tablets.
I have a daughter who has always lived with us born in 1978 therefore 38 this year. My daughter has suffered from mental illness and slight learning difficulties therefore she has never been able to work. Eventually after trial and error she has been stable for over a year now and attends different day groups here for people with similar problems.
We seem to have an awful lot of problems so I don't think there is much chance of us being allowed to emigrate but as you can imagine as there are only the three of us here and all the rest of my family and grandchildren at the other side of the world I worry about what will happen to my daughter when my husband and I are no longer here to look after her and her two brothers so far away.
I would be grateful if you can let me know what you think.
Thanking you

Sorry to hear of your situation, I can understand that it would be very worrying.

Unfortunately I think your chances of getting to Australia with your adult daughter are slim. Even if you passed the medical (which in itself is debatable) you would need to prove that she is dependent upon you and the catch 22 is that if she is dependent upon you, then she probably cannot pass the medical.

I think you might as well explore it thoroughly though, an agent like George Lombard would be a good one to contact in view of the circumstances. I understand that he has medical specialists in his team.

How can I contact George Lombard as I have tried to private message him but it won't let me it comes up with "The administrator has restricted use of the private message system to members with more than 3 posts". Some advice please.
