Hey Tina

 

You seen my fb?

 

No I haven't & wouldn't know where to start tbh

[snifter]

Not sure at all where they stand. Might be worth looking for posts by Gollywobbler as she has often posted some good advice about parent visas and the like

 

Good luck with it all

[tina&steve]

I'll ask my boss when i'm back at work see how they got their business visa.

Hi Paula

 

I'm sorry not to have seen your post sooner but the week before Christmas is usually hectic for most people including me!

 

Someone has mentioned that your Parents might be eligible for a Business Skills visa? Please try the links below:

 

http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/business/

 

http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/booklets/booklets.htm

 

You need Booklet 7 to go with the visas described in the first link above.

 

I only know two things about Business Skills visas, being:

 

1. They exist; and

 

2. Alan Collett from Go Matilda knows all the details.

Meanwhile, what is your sister's occupation, please?

 

Cheers

Hi PaulaH

 

How old is Dad and what is his occupation, please? Does Mum work as well? If yes, how old is she and what is her occupation, please? I've known situations where it has been possible to get the Paents an RSMS visa, based on the occupation of one of them, so it is worth asking the question, just in case. People in their 60s have been able to get employer-sponsored visas but it does depend on the exact occupation of the Parent concerned.

 

Meanwhile, your 35 year old sister. You say that she is an "Underwriter Administrator." Please could you get a more specific, detailed description from her about exactly what she does during the average working week? Please could you also find out how long she has been doing this for? Also, does she have anu formal, academic qualifications (eg a degree or an HND?) I'm wondering whether we can shoehorn her into something like "Financial Investment Adviser?"
