my mum want to come too
can anyone give advice?
i have just been granted my PR and hopefully (house sale permitting) will be going later this year. i have a brother who is an OZ citizen, and another brother who will remain in UK. my mum is 63 years old and would like to move over as well, we understand that she qualifies for the cont parent visa, but is this only when we actually move over there and become resident, or can she apply now? or is there another maybe temp visa that could lead to it, so that she could go when we do? or is she too old ? i think i'm clutching at straws here. |

Hi,
I am not particulary up on this but thought I'd bump it up for you. Becky |

You need to be in Aus and I think classed as 'settled' there, as brother is citizen should be ok to apply pretty soon. But this visa is now very slow so may take over a year possibly 2 to get it!

I'm in a similar position with regard to my Mum wanting to go too, she is 70. My brother is an Australian citizen so he will have to sponsor her on a Con Parent Visa which can take upto 2 years. I believe you must meet the balance of family test so she will need to apply once you are there as it will then be 2 to 1. This does not affect us as there is only my brother and me. In the meantime I believe she could spend 6 months a year in Australia on a tourist visa. Mary |

My understanding is that she can spend 6 months of the year in Australia as a tourist but must be out of the country when visa is granted.
