VISAS?
Q1) Has anyone migrated on the Contributory parent Visa and what are the pitfalls if any?
A1) I have some Contributory Parents going through the process at the moment and they will share their migration story once they arrive in Perth (they are trying to sell their UK home at the moment). See the Parent Visa page for links to the DIMIA website for further information
