Can Australian parents and family immigrants handle DIY by themselves?

How many kinds of visas are there?

There are two kinds of existing parents' immigration visas, one is called "ordinary queuing parents' immigration visa 103" and the other is called "paying parents' immigration visa 143".

Applicants who donate their parents' immigrant visas need to pay a considerable sum of money to the Australian government for their parents' future medical expenses. It can be divided into two categories, one is "permanent visa for parents 143" and the other is "temporary visa for parents 173".

143 visa needs to pay all donations in one lump sum, and 173 visa can pay all donations in two installments. When the remaining donations are paid within two years, they will be converted into permanent residence visas.

The amount of money required by each "paying parent immigrant visa" applicant is about 400 15 Australian dollars. The "paying parent immigrant visa" is paid in two stages. The first phase is about 24,065,438+00 Australian dollars, and the second phase is about 65,438+06,005 Australian dollars within two years. The number of places will increase by about 3000 Australian dollars every year.

There is also an "804 visa for the relocation of elderly parents", which can also be divided into two categories, one is "864 visa for the relocation of paid elderly parents" and the other is "884 visa for the temporary residence of paid parents". Only one parent needs to meet the age requirement. The man is 65 years old and the woman is 62.5-65 years old according to the year of birth.

Children and parents

What conditions should each meet?

Parents' immigrant visas are required to be guaranteed by their children in Australia or other qualified guarantors. This type of visa is applicable if your child or adopted child has settled as an Australian citizen, a permanent resident or a valid New Zealand citizen when applying for a visa.

This means that children must legally live in Australia for a period of time, usually two years, but if there are convincing and sympathetic circumstances, a shorter period can be considered. Specifically:

Applicants must have children in Australia, and the children must have settled in Australia and meet one of the following requirements: Australian citizens, or Australian permanent residents, or eligible New Zealand citizens.

The applicant must have a guarantor. The guarantor is usually a child. If the child is under 18 years old, the following persons may be required to provide guarantee: the adult spouse of the child, or the relatives or guardians of the spouse of the child, or community organizations.

The guarantor must provide a written commitment to provide support, accommodation and financial assistance to the applicant, the applicant's spouse and dependent family members in the first two years of living in Australia. The applicant must complete and submit the application, including paying the application fee and providing all supporting materials.

At present, the guarantor is *** 14000 Australian dollars, and the guarantee period is 10 year.

Parental immigration quota

What are the specific rules?

According to the latest annual immigration quota announced on 20 14, there are 2,000 places for parents to queue up every year. According to the current queuing situation, it will take 12.5 years. There are 6500 paying parents' immigration places every year. According to the current queuing situation, it will take 1- 1.5 years.

About the priority of the trial. Although there is no official regulation of the Immigration Bureau, according to the actual situation, the limiting order of parents' immigration can be summarized as follows: elderly parents take precedence over ordinary parents, and children who are citizens take precedence over green cards. Of course, analogy has great priority.

Due to the long waiting time, the applicant or his guarantor can choose to pay a large amount of visa application fee and guarantee money to apply for the donor's parent visa. The government will also limit the number of immigrants who donate their parents every year, but it will be more than those who don't donate, so the time limit for waiting for the visa of donating parents will be greatly shortened.

Parents immigrated at the same time.

How much income can you guarantee?

At present, the income of most people in Australia is between 40,000 and 50,000 Australian dollars. According to centrelink's latest newstart allowance and family welfare tax payment rate, if you are single and have no children, an annual income of 39,000 Australian dollars can ensure that both parents immigrate at the same time, and you don't need to find someone else to provide supplementary guarantee.

According to the application fee of April 201/kloc-0, the first application fee is 1735 Australian dollars/case, and the second application fee is 37,965 Australian dollars/person. AOS bond, the main applicant 10000 Australian dollars, and the spouse's 4000 Australian dollars. Please note that the second application fee is paid after the visa officer informs you. Don't listen to some unscrupulous intermediaries and pay more than 70,000 Australian dollars from the beginning.

Apply for a parent visa in Australia

What are the restrictions?

If parents are now in Australia, they may be prevented from applying for this parent visa in Australia under the following circumstances. For example, the child does not hold a legal visa (that is, any visa except a bridge visa, a criminal trial visa or a law enforcement visa), and the visa has been cancelled or refused since the last arrival in Australia; The visa held by the child is a guaranteed tourist visa; Children detained by immigrants, etc.

Other considerations:

1. According to the Australian government, a person will spend at least 450,000 Australian dollars in government medical expenses during his lifetime in Australia. The $40,065,438+05 spent on donating parents (each applicant) only accounts for one tenth of the above-mentioned $400,000. In view of the fact that the application time of ordinary parents for immigrant visas may be as long as 20 years or even longer, we suggest that children with better economic conditions can consider choosing "donated parents" to apply for immigrant visas as soon as possible.

2. In the future, due to too many applicants, the application time for the "paid parent immigrant visa" may be extended to two to three years. So I suggest you submit your parents' immigrant visa as soon as possible.

3. If the economy does not allow, you can submit the general "parent immigrant visa" first, and then pay the application fee again when the economy allows, and change it to "donor parent visa", which can also shorten the examination and approval time.

4. The Australian government will raise prices substantially every July 1 day. Parents' visa donations will also increase significantly. If you are interested in applying for a parent visa, please submit your visa as soon as possible before June 30th.

If only one parent immigrates and the other parent's spouse immigrates, then according to the current regulations, the other parent needs to wait for five years. Please decide whether to save this money according to the actual health of your family and parents.

6. My parents immigrated to Australia for 65,438+00 years and only bought their own medical insurance. After 65,438+00 years, you can enjoy the minimum living allowance (the current standard is about 500 Australian dollars every two weeks). However, children can apply for parental tax offset, and the current standard is about 3000 Australian dollars a year.

7. There is no English requirement for all kinds of parents' immigrant visas. In other words, illiterate parents can still apply for immigration.

8. Before applying for parents' immigration, please seek the opinions of parents and spouses, whether parents are willing to go to Australia and whether spouses agree to sponsor. It is not too late for couples to communicate with each other before applying.
