hi
my situation is as follows, we all got our visas january 07.my wife and 2 children didnt get theirs validated. i validated mine and i now want to get my wife's renewed. so the question is, " how do i apply for a spouse visa"? will meds and pc be needed again? it will also include 2 kids, 16 and 11. i used an agent before. will 16 year old need a pc this time?

i have already posted the question above but am wondering what would happen if we all just got on the plane and landed in oz? would they send my wife and 2 children home again? (even though they have a visa but just didnt validate it on time)

cheers

If your wife and kids didn't validate their visas then they would have been cancelled. So they do not actually have a visa anymore. You cannot renew a visa that has expired. So you will likley have to try for the spouse visa to get your family another visa.

I would imagine this would look badly if you were to all just show up at the airport. You would have a PR and the rest of your family would not have a visa. I could see big problems with that, because it appears as though you are moving to Oz but most of you don't have the visas to do it.

I believe JAJ answered your question on the topic in the immigration forum. You may not have liked his advice but he is generally very knowledgable and he is probably right.

Just to add, the airline probably would not let the wife and children on the plane in the first place. The airlines are responsible for returning anyone Australia doesn't allow through the immigration lines.

i think your right in what you say and yes, jaj did give good advice. im following up on that advice already.
