My parents can move. But my brother is a handicap. Can he?
Dear all,
I am going to move to Australia soon. My next is going to apply for my
parents. But I have an elder brother who is under my parents' talking care
of. Is that possible I can also apply for my handicapped brother with my
parents? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

You normally have to be in Australia for 2 years before you can even
think about sponsoring parents, and then you have the charges for the
Contributory Parent visa.

Yes and no.
Adult children who are disabled to the extent they are still dependent
on the parents are considered by DIMIA as dependents and must be
included on a permanent visa application (in this case it would be your
parent's application). The normal age limit of 25 does not apply -
however, in these cases the child normally fails the health criteria and
this causes the whole family's application to be refused.
That won't affect *your* application, as your brother is not your
dependent, but it sounds like you will have big problems trying to
sponsor your parents. Get professional advice for more details.

Re: My parents can move. But my brother is a handicap. Can he?
I am new to this immigration stuff and all..I have a very basic question:
If one is an main applicant with sufficient points to apply in General Skilled independent immigration,can he include his blood relatives during application like brother? If not what other options we have as my brother is a fresh graduate Engineer and looking to apply with me in the same application.
What about parents?
thanks,
rahul

Only dependents can be included in your application. Unless your brother was demonstrably dependent on you (and not your parents, for example) it isn't worth pursuing. He will have to qualify in his own right when he meets the criteria.
