Did not get visa

**titanboy** · 09-03-2010, 09:05 PM

Hi all

We last posted here 3/3/10 saying that we were having problems with our visa well we found out last week we have been refused.

This was due to my daughter failing to meet health requirments as she has Dysraxia, she has never been or wanted to come with us, she is staying in the uk with my ex-wife but she had to be put on the application because she was under 18 years old.

So Australia rules one fail you all fail ,so after our visit to Adelaide in 2008 were we fell in love with the place we started our dream now it has all been shatered.

As it stands it looks like our agent was to blame for this he should have steped in sooner when we were having problems but he left it to us to sort out.

We have been posting on poms in oz about this and Gollywobler has been amazing so if any body nows of any way we can maby still live our dream please let us know as time is running out, I will be 45 in April 2011 mybe a sponser would help.

I am a carpenter and have all my city and guilds aslo advanced also have passed the vetassess carpentry iii and got the certificate ,and I am blody good at my job as I have been doing it since I left school and worked all over the word but would like to settle in Adelaide.

My wife and 3 year old desperatly want to get to Adelaide also.

HELP !

Thanks

Hi Stuart,

Sorry to hear about this, i have read the previous posts on PIO...

Can you apply again without the daughter on the application?

My Understanding was that you only had to include people if you wanted the right to sponsor them for a visa in the future, they didnt actually have to be included for the full visa. Sorry if this doesnt come across clearly?

For example, My parents, My wifes parents and all of our brothers and sisters are named on our application, this is to ensure that in the future before we get citizenship we can sponsor them, but they arent full applicants, only me and my wife are, can you not remove her from the application, or try and lodge another one, after all, like you say she is staying with her mother in the UK

Hope this helps (if you can understand it?)

Jon

Thanks JayBone

Yes we can re-apply when she turns 18 but she may still be classed as dependant untill she is 25.
thanks

Try Gollywobbler on poms in Oz, she may well be able to offer some sound free advice.

Good luck and all the best

Is the refusal the "final decision" - i.e. have you gone through an appeal process yet?
As you know they balance their interpretation of how much your daughter is likely to cost the health system against what "an average Australian" would cost, including dependancy costs / not being able to work.
If you've still got the appeal up your sleeve, then a specialist report detailing likely prognosis / costs / and ability to work might help. We used (as did many people on the Oz forums) Dr Martha Baz - she's an occupational health specialist.
It always seems rather cruel that they pigeon hole children based on a label before they've had a chance to prove them wrong. I hope something works out for you.
