Hi,

My wife and I are starting the process of RSMS, she is a Nurse. Is there any chance I can bring my mother out as a dependent relative. If so, what sort of evidence would we need to prove she is dependent on us for her everyday needs???

Regards

Nigel

Can I suggest you check out www.immi.gov.au for this. I believe that for a "dependent relative visa" there is an age consideration - but not certain of what it is!

It's usually near-impossible to prove dependency for a parent in the UK (because parents usually have their own income to cover basic needs).

And if you do prove dependency, then your RSMS visa could be refused if your mother's health wasn't up to scratch.

The most feasible route is usually a Contributory Parent visa application 2-3 years down the line. You don't need to prove dependency but do need to meet the balance of family test and health requirements (plus pay the high fees).

Download and read booklet 3. And if you need professional assistance, Ian Harrop is a good option: http://www.ianharrop.co.uk

Thanks for the informative advice. I fully understand that it would be hard to prove Mothers dependancy, plus I would not want it to effect our visa. If that is the case, how do I get her out? she doesnt have the money for the Retiree investor visa, she is 59 this year, and has no particular trade. The only other option that my be worth a try, I have a cousin and her partner that live on Alice Springs. Can they sponser her? if so how? and I have heard they would need to earn a certain amount, is that right???

Hi Nigel,

No, she needs to be dependent on you or someone else, or fit the categories in Booklet 4 - I don't think it's going to work out initially, better to apply for her migration as soon as you're "settled" here.

Cheers,

Thanks George,

It seems that would be the answer. How long have we got to be settled in Oz before we can sponser her, and how do we do it? do we need to earn a certain amount to guarantoor her??

You could try the contributory parent visa.

try this link

http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/fami.../143/index.htm


YOu would need to have been a permanent resident for 2 years and earn a minium of $40,000 for the year to be able to be assurance of support (AOS)

After you have been a permanetn resident for 2 years (and your mother meets the balance of family test, which means she must have at least half of her children living in oz) she can apply for this visa (which is currently taking 12-15 months to come through (she would also have to pass a medical.

For the visa she would have to pay for the first installment -$1,340
the second installment is - $29,330 (no that is not a spelling mistake)

Then she would have to put down a bond (which she gets back after 10 years) of well I am not really sure how much it is for a single but it is $14,000 for a couple so probably about $7000

Forget about the normal parent visa as there is about a 10 year waiting list


Hope this helps

All the answers are in booklet 3, which has already been mentioned to you. Strongly recommended to download and read it.

Thank you all for the advice. I have now read the booklet and it all seems to be clearer now.
