Re: Declined Migration to Oz on ruling on deceased wifes children.
Stuart Firstly, please don't post in capitals. It's very bad manners in an
online forum (the equivalent of shouting), and normally people just won't
respond to you at all.
Step-children are generally included in the 'balance of family' test, whether you get
on with them or not. The Department are right to say it makes no difference whether
their blood father is still alive or not.
However, a step-child who was over 18 when you 'acquired' him by marriage does not
count if the marriage concerned has subsequently ended due to separation, divorce or
death. http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/f-work.htm
So how old were your step-children when you married their mother?
Of course, even if you do pass the balance of family test, current Australian
government policy means you will have a very long wait for a visa, so I wouldn't get
your hopes up greatly in any case.
