Hi guys,
My visa application is currently processing. Is it possible to add my newly born child to this application at this stage? If so, what are the docs needed to add a child?

Regards!

Hi All,
I was asked
to send his passport, bc and form 1022. I sent those docs on 14/10/2014. Still I was not
given a HAP ID for his medical test.
Does any one know how long will it take to . Is there any phone number I can
contact the processing office to know the status?

Regards!

I recently had my newborn added to my application and never submitted form 1436. Form 1022, BC, Photo (optional) and Passport was all that was required.

A CO replied two weeks after Passport submission with a HAP ID yesterday.

Hi guys,

I have been reading this forum for quite a while & i have a doubt which i want to clarify.
I have applied for a GSM visa 190 visa. We got to know the news of my wife pregnancy after visa application which was done last year.

Currently, the visa application is put on hold & my wife has just gave birth on the early last month. Now that the newborn is born, we wanted to include him in the application but my agent told me that adding a newborn even though is after my main visa application would cost me 880AUD. Is that true? I read from this forum that it should be free for adding a newborn in my scenario. Can someone pls enlighten me regarding this matter? Is there any official statement from DIAC that adding newborn is free or waive in this case? I want to show it to my agent as a proof.

I was told by my agent to fill up form 1436. Is this correct as well???

Many thanks!!

These agents are useless and don't know any thing more than an ordinary applicant. Mine also told me the same and I corrected him

If the baby is born after visa application its free to add him/her to the application. Its mentioned on the IMMI website.

@mokkalu

IF your baby was born before applying for the visa and you included him/her as a non-migrating dependent in your application, you will have to fill form 1436 (adding a family member ). You will also be required to pay the application fee for the baby.
