Hello. So I got my visa grant last Oct2014. Pero the visa decision for my husband and son (2yrs old) is still in progress. Now Embassy contacted me again requiring me to accomplish form 1229 for 'Consent from both parents for grant of visa'. Base sa docu description, para to sa migrating minor.
=====================
Who should use this form?
Where children under 18 years of age intend to travel to
Australia, their non-accompanying parent(s) or person(s) with
parental responsibility (anyone who can lawfully determine
where the child/children is/are to live) may be required to sign
a consent form to give permission for the child/children to be
granted an Australian visa for the purpose of travel to stay
temporarily or permanently in Australia. If one parent, or
person(s) with parental responsibility, has lawfully been made
solely responsible for making decisions as to where the
child/children is/are to live, then only that parent or person
needs to sign the consent form.
=======================
The confusing part for me, since ako yun mauuna sa Oz, ako lang ba mag-a-accomplish nito form? Sabi kasi dun, to be accomplished by "non-accompanying parent". May extra descriptions pa kasi dun to accomplish statutory
Ang worry ko kasi kapag sinubmit ko na ako lang nakapirma, baka magkaron ng confusion sa visa decision ni hubby. Ang intindi ko kasi sa additional requirement sa doc, para to sa mga nagkahiwalay na partners at papayagan nun isang parent na mag-migrate yun anak nya na di sya kasama.
Sa mga family migrants with minor children na HINDI sabay ang grant ng visa for each family member, did you also accomplish this form?

Hi ... Is your visa application seperate from your husband and son or did you apply for a whole family unit ???
Thats really weird ,, I understand that your the main applicant?
If your visa application is for the whole family unit ... its understood that both of the parent is travelling in Australia with the child and yung consent should not be needed.
Yup your right para lang dapat yun sa magkahiwalay na parent.
Base kasi sa law ng philippine sa custody of child below 7 years of age. That no mother shall be seperated from her child. Which means na nasa mother ang full parental responsibility.
It also means na yung father ng child of 7 years and below eh hindi kailangan gumawa ng consent (dahil kahit ayaw nya pumayag eh) wala ding bisa yun kasi ma ooverride lang sya ng batas pertaining to child custody.
So I believe na ikaw lang ang kailangan gumawa ng consent. This is only my opinion .. its better na ask and clarify things sa immigration
Dont worry too much coz hindi maapektuhan yung application ng husband mo ..

1. I submitted my visa application last June 2009 as Skilled Independent Immigrant. I was still single that time.
....WAITING TIME.... NO UPDATE OR ANYTHING FROM EMBASSY..........
2. Dec2013, I finally got an update from them through my old agent asking for updated records like medical, employment, etc....
3. Feb2014. I submitted change of circumstance forms, like new civil status and dependents. My agent also said he can't offer services any more since his license is no longer active. So I submitted a form 956A (withdrawal of authorized recipient).
4. From Mar2014-Jul2014, the CO working on my case that time required my dependents' passport, medical records, police records (hubby only), etc........ I asked her, why are they required kasi di naman sila part ng initial application. Sabi ni CO, yes daw even if non-migrating member sila. And if isa man daw sa family members magfail, example medical exam, affected daw yun buong visa application. So ayun, I complied to what they required. I was not required to pay any extra visa fees. My impression that time, 'ay ganun pala yun, automatic na kagad yun asawa/anak sa pag-grant ng visa.'
5. I received my visa grant Occt2014 (mine only). At that the same email, Embassy said they acknowledge the withdrawal I sent for my son's visa. I emailed them back saying the only withdrawal form I sent was for my agent last Feb2014.
......WAITING FOR EMBASSY'S UPDATE ON MY CLARIFICATION ABOUT MY SON'S VISA.... HUBBY'S VISA STATUS IN MY IMMIACCOUNT IS 'PROCESSING'.
6. DEC2014. Finally, Embassy confirmed there was an error at their part about my son's visa so they are processing it again and that's when I received the requirement for Fom1229.
So before I sent this to the CO again, I clarified to her if tama ba yun pagkakaintindi ko sa requirement nila na kaya ko need fill out yun kasi mauuna ako maglanding sa australia kesa sa mag-ama ko na waiting pa din ng visa.

Mag explore na lang daw ako ibang visa option for him. Ang Plan-A namin is tourist visa. Para kami 3 mag arrive sa Oz. Kaso baka dina umabot dahil ang initial entry date ko with my son is Feb21.
Any of you who can suggest how to approach this? Ang tagal kasi ng interval ng updates nila. Kung di mo kukulitin ng follow up email di magbigay status. Now naipit na kasi sa time at option.
