Scenario 1
The visitor visa (subclass 600) on sponsored family stream would be suggested for
Maria’s mother, Teresa. The Subclass 600 visitor visa on sponsored Family Stream allows
Teresa to stay in Australia for 12 month security bond of AUD 140, which might be incurred
from the sponsor, which is Maria in this case (Immi.homeaffairs.gov.au, 2019). It would be
the obligation of Teresa to have Maria as her Sponsor who would support her to bear the
cost of her visa. Maria would acts as Teresa’s guarantor and would be answerable on the
Teresa’s behalf. Maria would be eligible to be Teresa’s sponsor as she is her family as well as
a citizen of Australia; as a daughter, Maria would be able to vouch for her mother’s
genuinity.
Along with the general eligibility criteria Teresa would be required to meet certain
other requirements under Schedule 2 like the health and character requirement in order to
receive the subclass 600 visa on sponsored family stream. Teresa would be required to meet
the health requirement in order to protect the Australian community from any contagious
diseases which she might carry with her. Her health condition must confirm that she is free
from any e health condition which may make the Australian community bear a community
service as well as a healthcare cost (Immi.homeaffairs.gov.au, 2019). Teresa should be able
to pass the character requirements where it would be checked whether she has a substantial
criminal record and whether she was convicted for an offence of escaping immigration
detention. She must assure the authority that she is not part of an organisation which is
involved in conduct that is criminal in nature. Her character certificate must assure that she
has never been involved in activities like smuggling, genocide, trafficking, war crime, et
cetera. Her past and present conduct must assure that she is of good character. Furthermore,
Teresa would have to satisfy a ‘character test’ as mentioned under Section 501 of the
Migration Act 1958.
