It is with great interest that I have read your recent threads. We came over to Australia 18 months ago on a 457 visa, (My husband is in I.T.& I am a Hairstylist) and thought it was time to start the process of Permanent Residency.
Like you, I have a child with Aspergers Syndrome. We were informed by our immigration lawyer last week, that we are wasting our time as we will be declined due to our daughters condition. It would put too much pressure on the medicare system and state.

I have done quite a bit of research in this regard, and there really is no way of getting around it. I want to tell everyone who has a child with this condition, who is thinking of coming here, that it is, just temporary.

Not good for kids who thrive in routine and stability.
