We came out here on a 457. We were advised by the agents we used (free one for nurses) that it would be best not to add our son to the application as it might fail. So we brought him out on a years working holiday visa. So that we could add him to the main application when we went for PR. Now it turns out that because we brought him out on a WHV it means he’s not a dependant. Now it has takes so long for our PR to get sorted that we were told to remove him from the application. So we don’t even have our PR yet. that left him less than 2 weeks to sort something out,. So our friends from the gold coast nipped down to help us sort it out and came up with a few ideas here they are, and the pitfalls beside them.

1) Send him over to my brother in NZ for a week and get him a tourist visa for 3 months……………NO we were told this week we cant do that and now his ausie visa is running out he wont get into NZ
2) Get an extension on his WHV for 3 months……….NO turned down without even reading the application that we handed in.
3) Get him a students visa, this would mean sending him to NZ till he gets the ok from TAFE. It would mean he would have to live with pals on the gold coast because Sydney doesn’t have a course starting till September……..NO cant do that now, because were not sure if he can get to NZ need to phone emigration tomorrow.
4) As it looks at the mo we are lost no matter which way we turn, starting to panic now, as mrs soapy will not let him go back to Scotland alone, even if he’s 21 years old. She would up sticks and leave and drag us all with her. Not that I would argue cos I feel the same myself.


5) This is the situation we were left with a few months ago.
6) Then our friend in the gold coast pestered immi until she got someone to talk to. That worked. After hours of phone calls it turns out all we needed was a stat dec declaring our son was dependant on us.
We still shit our pants , cos if the application failed, we all failed. To be honest, if it had, I think we would all be heading back to the uk.
But its Oz for us. Forever !!!!!!!!

Many congrats to you.

Makes the PR all the sweeter eh ?

I don't remember you asking the forum about this

I was in a similar situation with dependancy for my 19 year old so may have been able to help.
