Hi
Can anyone give me some advice? We applied for 457 visa agent done it online approx 2 months ago ( hubby being sponsored by recruitment co) Hubby, myself,Joe 8 and Lewis 19 whos got a place at bris uni doing forensics and criminology and we have my mum who lives with us as dependent relative.Kids had to have medical us just xrays but now immigration accesser wants my mum to have medical although shes a very fit 72 yr old she takes drops for glaucoma and tablets for chlorlestoral but its not high now, is this likely to fail us??She has a pension and a small works pension too but will be relient on us apart from this.We have got to the final stages now and will be just waiting ,I dont want to get hopes up if there is no chance because of my mum, any feed back will be good, Thankyou. Jin

Hi

Would need Alan to answer this one, I thought dependents were under 18? But I may be wrong, hopefully alan will pick up this thread!

Good luck

Alan
Please could you give me some advice.We have got to the last hurdle with my husband being sponsored by recruitment co and were told we had to go through certain immigration agent which we did,but they are not very good when we ask questions,we have spent a lot of money and have got to the last hurdle with my mum, dependent relative, we were told by agent only my kids needed medical, I did qeiry this but on the day of medicals for kids we had a email asking my mum to have one as well. so she is booked in in Nov. Apparently the assesser has asked for her to have one. She is a very fit lady but has clocoma and high chlorlestoral which is both intact with tablets & drops, please Alan can you tell me if this will fail us.?

Hello Jeanette.

I'm afraid I can't give you a categoric answer on this, as I don't know how she is dependent on you. If because of illness or because she is infirm (unlikely given your posting) she might be deemed to be an undue cost to the Australian taxpayer.

If she isn't then she might not be considered to be your dependent.

You should pin down your agent and ask him or her for a definitive answer. Indeed, this issue should have been dealt with up front before you embarked on the visa application process.

Best regards.
