I have an associated question here. As mentioned by FaithInGod, I
would like to know
If After PR grant baby is born outside Australia then
1) Under which category/class do we need to apply for new born baby.
2) Do we need to obtain Police Clearance and get Medicals done for new
born as well.
3) How much does it take for Visa Processing for new born baby.
Will Appreciate answers to above 3 points.
Thanks,
Sumit. |
