Hi,

We are looking at the possibility of moving to The Gold coast due to the problems with visa's to stay in Florida at the moment.

We did really want to go on the skilled visa but are 5 points short so it looks like we would have to stump up the money for the extra points.

However my mum and dad have decided they would probably like to do it too. Does anyone have any advice on the best way to go for him ? He is too old for the skilled visa (59) and would if he had the chance still like to work ? so this probably rules out the retirement visa .
We were looking at the possibility ,if we are successful with our visa, maybe doing the parent visa, but they would like to do it at the same time as us :scared:
Help anyone..... anyone got any good ideas ???

Thanks in advance

I think you usually have to be living permanently in Australia for at least 2 years before parents can apply for a visa. They also have to pass the balance of family test - check out the dimia website http://www.immi.gov.au/migration/fam...ents/index.htm

Also might be worth you putting this on the immigration forum aswell!

All the best,
