First Cousins / Aunt Relationship
Hi everyone!
I got a LOT of help from this forum while applying for my own permanent residency (136, approved in May 2007)
Now my aunt (mom's sister) and her husband, both above 45, wish to move there permanently, 3 dependent kids (first cousins)
Are there any visas to help them through? Understand this is a tricky age.... even the business visas appear to have the age requirement too
Will REALLY appreciate any suggestions here.
Thanks

If they have run a qualifying business for at least 2 years can be aged up to 54 if sponsored by a State/Territory and even older in exceptional circumstances.

Re: First Cousins / Aunt Relationship
hey 
the visa wizard drew a blank. I tried a variety of reasons for staying in Australia, but I don't think it's very helpful at all!
Yeah suggested to them the qualifying business route, sponsored by a state / territory government body. That's for people up to 55 years of age (below 55)
Is there any way to give them additional points as a first cousin / niece, to be of help at all?
