136 permanent visa - sponsoring a parent
Help!!
I am a nurse and hoping to come in on the 136 visa - I know some of you have had your parents move to Oz but my dilema is this?
We do want to move to Oz - but I am an only child and only have my mum alive. She is only 61 yrs young and although she wants us to have a better life she also - understandably - feels as though we are taking a MASSIVE part of her life away. We have 2 daughters 12 and 9 and we would leave a huge void with going.
Has anyone sponsored their parents in on this visa? If so - how long after you moved to Aus and are there any constraints on sponsoring your parents in i.e. if they pay for private healthcare can they still access everything. I know there is lots to answer but my OH wants to go yesterday but I am a nurse and I cant help thinking that she will not be cared for/nor want her to be cared for by our defunct NHS!!
Oh by the way - she has a partner with whom she has been with 20yrs and I realise they would need to marry to make it legal for them both to come - that is if they want to of course!!
Many thanks - in anticipation
