Can anyone help?

I have an active Mother in Law, hoping to come to OZ who wants to know what there is do. Am heading to Perth, are there any jazz clubs, WI meetings, arts and crafts, belly dancing classes or night clubs??? (told you she's active!)

Any help is much appreciated.

I'm on the opposite side of the country and we have all those things so I expect it's the same in Perth.

The equivalent of the WI is the CWA (Country Women's Association)

Hi, i would be interested to know what visa your MIL is going to OZ on? The reason i ask is that we have applied to go to OZ early next year but would like to take my recently widowed MIL (who also lives with us) She is 61 years old and any help would be greatly appreiciated many thanks in advance

If you find a way for your MIL to go with you, I'll be interested as we applied for my widowed mum, who lived with us to come as an aged dependent relative (she was in late 60's and active), but were refused because she has a state pension in the UK so is deemed independent. She can only come for holidays. Can't even go for contributory parent visa later on as I have 2 brothers in the UK who we haven't seen for years and they wouldn't even know if mum is still around :curse: However DIAC deem that they can look after her (ridiculous notion in our case). We accept the rules and there is no flexibility for individual circumstances, but it is frustrating all the same.

hiya wesley & joanne this isnt to do with your question,but i was wondering if you two had ever been on a cruise in the caribean as we meet a wesley and joanne on a cruise a few years back, they were on honeymoon & from your area. maybe its a coinsidence.

Sorry, never been on a cruise. Would be my holiday nightmare as I am the worst traveller - serious motion sickness! Just about going to be able to do the 18 hour flight to Perth

Will let you know what visa she is trying to go on. Was trying for 3 different I think??

Will update this once I've found out.

wesleyandjoanne, thank you for the help, look forward to hearing from you

Hi Aussiebound,

MIL will probably apply for one of the parent visas as more than half her kids are/will be permanent residents. My BIL emmigrated with his family in April on a 136 MODL, I am going with OH and son on a 136 (fingers crossed). So as 2 out of 3 sons are in Oz, we are hoping she'll be able to go that way, bring the other son. If not her OH may be able to get sponsored, would rather not but it's an option.

Hope this helps

Jo
