PR for Parents
I had a smaill query wrf to obtaining PR for my in laws.
Currently they are in Mumbai, India Thier age is 62 and 55 respectively. They are financially well setteled. They have three daughters all are married. Two of thier daughters (incuding my wife and her elder sis ) are settled in Australia (along with grand children). That means more than 2/3 of thier family are now residents of this country.
Is there a new law under which we can apply them Residentship that allows for parents to obtain PR when majority of thier family is here.
Another thing to consider is that my mother in law has been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and shall start treatment soon.
Please let me know if it shall be possible for us to obtain thier PR.
Please feel free to ask any futher details

Re: PR for Parents
Having two out of three children in Australia would mean they pass the balance of family test and would thus at least qualify in principle for a visa - see http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/fami...nt-outside.htm.
Unless they are prepared to wait a long time it would be very expensive though - about $36,000 each for the visa fees alone.
However, the multiple myeloma is very likely to mean that your mother-in-law would fail the medical. I understand (from what I have read on here) that cancer sufferers are unlikely to be accepted unless they have been free from cancer for three years after finishing successful treatment.
You need professional advice - Peter Bollard and George Lombard are often mentioned on here as having a particular expertise in medical-related immigration issues.
