Hi Phoenix,
Can you stop that baby's lips? Makes me think it's going to do a little
posit, and I find myself reaching for the wipes :-) We've avoided
projectile vomits with the current baby at our place but the earlier
versions were quite good at it.
OK, well you'll need to be here for two years to sponsor a parent
normally, so you're right that in theory the earliest date for applying
would be July, not June but if you've got a good argument for going
under the two years DIMIA in Australia will normally be quite
accommodating.
I think you've confused the CPV (contributory parent visa) with the old
retirement visa - there's no income requirement for a CPV.
And yes, many people making an onshore family visa application have told
a porky on their arrival card (only visiting when intending to stay
longer); doesn't make it any easier though, and of course an agent who
told you it was ok would probably be inciting you to breach the
Migration Act.
Cheers,
George Lombard
