New Arrivals Sydney
We have recently arrived on a Parent Visa and although we have our daughter and Grandchildren here we would like to meet other expats in similar situation. Is there anyone out there? We live in the Eastern Suburbs but have car. Jill and Alan

Re: New Arrivals Sydney
Hi Jill and Alan,
There is a meet on the first Tuesday of each month, at 10:30 for coffee and it usually runs into lunch - look for a "Sydney FTC" post for May coming soon, which will tell you this month's location.
The group tends to be ladies with school-age children, but you will both be very welcome. More often than not we meet somewhere on the North Shore, but with your car it will be a good chance to explore!
Hope to see you on 6th May

Re: New Arrivals Sydney
To save me a long drawn out phone call to DIMIA - I guess you would know - can you give me a rough idea of the criteria for a Parent Visa? What does it entitle you to?
[It would be for my Dad and his missus - they aren't married but are in a de facto relationship.
My husband and son are Aus citizens; I have Permanent Residency and would hope to take up citizenship this time next year.]
Thanks
