Legal Services Pty Ltd: Parent Visa Advice for Ruth Gandhi, Tasmania

This document is a letter of advice from Legal Services Pty Ltd to Ruth Gandhi, providing guidance on parent visa options for her parents to immigrate to Australia. The advice addresses Ruth's questions about suitable visa options, eligibility, and detailed visa requirements under the Migration Act 1958. The letter analyzes the parent visa options, including subclass 103 (which her parents do not qualify for due to the family balance test and age criteria) and subclass 804. The primary recommendation is the Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visa (subclass 870), which doesn't require the family balance test. The letter outlines the requirements for the subclass 870 visa, including sponsorship eligibility, the need for a sponsor, form 1501, visa charges, and the conditions that must be met by both the sponsor and the visa applicants. It also references relevant sections of the Migration Act 1958 and Migration Regulations 1994, providing a comprehensive overview of the application process, conditions, and potential limitations of the visa.
