Advice please, we are in the process of applying for last remaining relative visa for my only daughter and grandson. My husband is not her biological father and I don't know who that is. On her birth certificate it states father unknown. She changed her name from my maiden name to my husbands name by deed poll about 16 years ago. She has just had her medicals. Is that a good sign?

Is it a good sign? Hard to say. I'd recommend some professional advice, see George Lombard in Sydney (search forum for contact details).

Sorry, just bumping this back up to see if ANYONE has any knowledge of this type of visa

JAJ

It may not be what you want to hear, but you are unlikely to get any definitive advice on a free forum, especially for an unusual/complex visa.

OK thanks JAJ, Iwas just hoping.

Thanks Pollyanna, I have already sent a mail to George and awaiting his reply. If my daughter is refused a visa because my husband is not the biological father, I will probably need an agent for advice on how to prove I don't know who the father was.

We are still very hopeful my daughter will be accepted. I was asked to go to centrelink for an interview to determine my eligibility to be her assurer. There was no problem as I met all the requirements and I now have to lodge the bond of $5000 in a term deposit account with the Commonwealth bank. I am hoping this is a good sign for us. Keep fingers crossed.

I have paid the bond and taken the paperwork to centrelink, has anyone been refused a visa after the bond has been paid. We are trying to remain very hopeful as things seem to have gone too well to date and we are waiting for a crash
