Hi JayandBill

I am sure that age has nothing to do with applying for residency. I never read anywhere in the Immigration Information that it would be a factor (for a Parent Visa). If you pass your medical and police check and your sponsor meets all the criteria then I would think there is no problem. Its just a long wait before you get allocated a Case Officer and also there is a quota system too, which could be oversubscribed. Husband and I are in are middle 60's but I know people who have gone in their 70's.

We applied from NZ whilst on a parent/grandparent 3 yr multiple visit visa, which allows us to be here for 18months during those 3 years. We had had enough of that long trip every year after the 6th time. We have to pop over to Oz every 6 months but can return within days, but we're on our 3rd 6 months now so getting a bit anxious about what happens when we've used up our 18 months if we haven't got a case Officer by then. The application seems to be in order but we just have to wait. Thought I'd better lose a couple of punds though in case it all happens as quickly as yours and they want to recheck our state of health. As you know it's a stressful time waiting. We love it here and don't miss the UK at all.
