Re: Permanent visa
Just to add, I don't believe it is possible to include dependant parents in skilled visa applications since changes made last year - http://britishexpats.com/forum/immig...vember-887439/

Re: Permanent visa
The DIBP are quoting this figure for the non-contributory parent visas. It is difficult to predict the actual timeline given it is subject to the number of future quota places allocated and future applications.
The contributory parent visas are taking much less time depending upon visa type.

Just to confirm that this is the correct for a range of visas including the skilled visa stream visas (it is no longer possible to include dependent parents within the application).
The information relating to the proposed 5 year parent visa is not yet available.

Thank you for your reply.
What is the 5 year visa?

Re: Permanent visa
Hi
I have only started looking into this.
Unsure where to start.
I am 36 years old born in UK, and would like to migrate to Australia with both my parents.
I was wondering what visas would I be eligible for?
My occupation is system analyst with 12 years work experience. I have a BA honours degree.
I am looking for a visa where my parents could come with me at the same time.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Did you live in Oz alone previously or were your parents living there too then?
I don't know if it might affect things or the answers given to you, but it's always best if people have full info if you're asking questions, so it would be worth giving details of the visa you (and your parents if they were there too) were on in case it makes a difference.
Good luck.

Re: Permanent visa
I'm a bit confused - your previous posts from a couple of years ago say you were living in Oz, and had been for 5 years, so why do you need to start from scratch? I know nothing about Oz visas, but isn't there a way of getting a RRV, would that apply in your situation?

They certainly could not have brought their parents with them whatever visa they were on, so it is definitely two issues -one as to what visa the OP needs and the other as to what the parents may qualify for, and when.

Re: Permanent visa
I did start reading the previous posts but they were so confusing with a couple of different visas, plus the OP being surprised that they couldn't just abandon their student loan, that I just gave up and figured I'd assume nothing and think they were starting from scratch!

As you know, I know diddly squat about visas for Oz so no idea if it will be relevant or not, but thought it worth asking the question just in case, so that you and other Oz bods can help out with full info at least!

Re: Permanent visa
I just thought maybe the parents were in Oz too under their own visa, if the OP doesn't want to leave them behind now, perhaps that was the case previously too, but they qualified on their own merits.

The OP would be best advised to give us a bit more info so we can come up with some proper information!!

Re: Permanent visa
CPV is around 18 months to 2 years I think, just pay up and look big, much the easiest way otherwise you live in limbo for 30 years and can still get the boot out ( that's the free option but who knows how long that will be available for, they tried to cut it out altogether once)

Re: Permanent visa
I think the poster's sister has also used this member account when she came over here with her partner so that's why it's very confusing when reading the older posts x

Re: Permanent visa
Also I think it might be a different family member this time using the same account.
