I was actually wondering if I can do that, lodge the application where my baby is not included in the application, then just submit a change in circumstances to include my baby in the application. Is this acceptable?

I spent the next 4.5 years mainly working for a UK based Migration Organisation, providing them with advice and skills assessment services, so my client contact was minimal and, as I was operating outside Australia I did not need to be Registered. So over the last 10 years, my membership has lapsed 3 times I think. It is no problem as long as I re-register within 12 months of my lapse which I always do.

My last registration expired 16th March 2005. I now no longer work for the UK company so am having to get out into the real world again and start up my own business in Ireland/UK but I am between jobs in that my registration may not be sorted until the new year. I can hardly take on clients after advising everybody they should only engage a Registered Migration Agent. So normally, I would not have time to give such detailed answers to postings, but while I have the time, it does me no harm to do this as I have always worked behind the scenes for the UK company and not a lot of people have heard of me.

So there you have it, in a nutshell.

ASPC write back and say the application for your baby is invalid, but yours is OK - you then later add your baby to the application similar to Jonah's Mummy. You have nothing to lose- the only way you can possibly lose is if you don't get the application in soon and miss your deadline. Get it in now - I sent a case once via TNT and Sydney customs held it for over a week before it was delivered to ASPC - don;t leave it until the last minute.
