Thanks Alan. I thought the 602 was only a short term visa for medical treatment and that the visa holder was expected to return home after treatment. So if someone was refused a non-contributory parent visa on health grounds, they just need to apply for a 602 and they can stay permanently?

Unfortunately not so. We originally had BVA bridging visas subsequently followed after application by BVB's giving us the right to leave and return for a period of 5 years.
By entering the immigration web site and putting in the date our visa's were granted i.e. 804's it comes up with the number of visa applications for PR that are in front of us. By my calculations it will take approx. 13.8 years for our PR's based on the number that are approved each month. I hope we are still around for that - extremely unlikely !!

May I ask how did you get such a generous BVB - 5 years with multiple entries. That's exactly what my mum needs at the moment but I've been told that the BVB is usually granted for up to a number of weeks or maybe a couple of months at the most. Did you have to give a particular reason for them to grant you a BVB for 5 years? My mum is 67 and her queue date is 6 Nov 2015.
Thank you !

=> Not correct.
Can I say here that so far as I am aware public forums that discuss immigration matters are reviewed by the Department of Immigration, so comments such as "... such a generous BVB ..." could lead to less generous outcomes in the future.
It would perhaps be best to be a tad more circumspect, and to use the PM facility, IMHO.
Best regards.
