Nakakuha na kmi ng NBI by May 22 sana ma upload ko na. Yung sa medical naman kumukuha pa kmi ng med cert sa isa pang doc nya. Nag out of the country kasi sya by May 18 pa dating. Malamang sa malamang by end of May sana na upload na lahat including sa med.
Kaw musta application mo?</blockquote>
Sir @amcasperforu, may tanong sana ako regarding including your mom as your dependent? In my case, may visa na kasi ako and I'm already working dito. Pero gusto ko sana malaman, may criteria ba for parents para maging "dependents"? Like, kelangan ba hintayin ko na retired na mom ko, or wala ng income and maging financially dependent on me? Nag-iisip lang ako ng iba option aside from tourist visa para mapapunta nanay ko.
Salamat po for the input!

Hi @nadine... Meron visa for parents and has some parameters to take into consideration :
Im quoting this from AU immigration website http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/family/103/
This visa is for you if you are a parent of a child or stepchild who, at the time the visa application is lodged, is 'settled' and either an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen. This means your child must have been lawfully resident in Australia for a reasonable period, normally two years, although a shorter period can be considered for Australian citizen children if there are compelling and compassionate circumstances.
In addition you must be able to demonstrate one of the following:
at least half of your children are Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents or eligible New Zealand citizens who are usually resident in Australia
you have more children living in Australia as Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents or eligible New Zealand citizens than in any other country.
Your partner and other dependent family members may be included in your application provided they satisfy certain requirements.
For aged parents naman ito yung other visa options

Based on our friends here sa forum ang parent visa ay matagal at medyo may kamahalan. Merong parent visa type na mas mabilis kaysa sa ibang parent visa type pero may kamahalan. And of course it should pass all the requirements na kailanan ng immigration.
Dyan din talaga ako napag isip ng ilang beses before I finally decided to include my nanay sa application ko. Sabi ko bahala na si batman ma grant o ma deny. Pina uubaya ko na kay Lord ang desisyon. I just do my best and I lift up to HIM to do the rest.
