taking my dad to oz
hi all, ive been trawling thru old threads to see which would be the best visa to get my dad over. he is 60 yrs old in good health. he drives hgv's for a living.there is only my sister left in the uk and his 3 brothers.
is the subclass 103 the best and cheapest, but may take the longest.we are on a 136 visa and are due to go out shortly.
any advice would be good , just to keep victor meldrew quiet
cheers tony

As a good early reference point can I suggest you check out here: www.immi.gov.au - specifically the section on Parent Migration. This really is essential reading as is the relevant info on the Centrelink site regarding fees etc.
Visa class 103 is certainly the cheapest but has a current wait of over 10 years. The Contributory Parent Visa wait is much shorter - currently around 15 months-ish but its high cost has to be borne in mind for most people. There is a (long!) CPV thread in this forum which has some useful info for you also.
Hope that helps for starters?
