Migrants waiting for the sponsored parent visa – promised by the Australian Government before the last Federal election - may have to wait longer to unite with their parents as the Immigration Minister said he can’t give a “specific date” for the visa to be made available.
“I can’t give you any specific dates,” said Immigration minister David Coleman. “It’s something we are committed to.”
Mr Coleman said the visa would provide migrants with an alternative to permanent contributory parent visa which costs over $40,000 in fees alone for one parent.
