Hi everyone.
a big thank for everone on this forum as it helps me alot with my current conditions. been browsing all around for about 2 months.
unfortunately my case is a bit different and i need some help if any of you have any experience.
facts:
1. i live with my mother in Indonesia (63 years old). she is divorced, only have 2 child, and she depend on my financially.
2. i have an older brother living in Brisbane with a 856 Visa. (been there for about 5 years. the first 4 is on 457).
3.i got a job offer in the same company as my brother and they offer me a 457.
4. however, they don't want to include my mother in the application due to old age (medical insurance. but my mother health is very good for someone her age).
problems : getting my mom to stay in australia with me.
possible solution:
1. get in with a 676 (tourist) visa. then apply for a parent visa or contributory parent visa. sponsored with my brother--> Rejected. 15 years is too long and 40k is too expensive.
2. get her in with a 676 for each year, go out of australia every 3 months, stay out a week then back. --> on the immi websites, noted that To be eligible for a further Tourist visa in the future, you must maintain extended periods of time outside of Australia. does anyone know how long is the "extended period of time"? Assuming it's around 4 months or more, she will have problem staying out due to she doesn't have anyone outside of Australia. can anyone please suggest?
3. i'm thinking to ask for a 121 visa instead of 457 from the employer. will this be possible? and while waiting of the 8 months process, can i enter Australia with a 457 or 462 (working holiday)? it is in my understanding that once i apply the 457 without her, she will no longer recognized as my dependent. thus making her only choice is parent or contributory parent. which is not preferred.
4. i'm also considering to apply for a 175. i can get the required point but still need to do the assessment first. i read many people said it is possible to apply 457 after applying your 175 and you just need to go out an in again once it's approved. but does anyone really done that?
note: point 3 and 4, while i'm in Australia with a 457, my mother will use a 676. and i guess it will not be a problem. or it will?
Many thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.
