need advice with son desperately

Hi,

My son is 20yrs old and works full time, therefore he cannot come as part of our visa as he is not dependant on us. After lots of research I think the only way around this is a working holiday makers visa. I understand this is for 12 month, and if he works in aggriculture for 3 months it can be extended for an extra year. Trouble is then what? Would he be able to get sponsorship from an employer, there must be a solution to this. Is he able to get sponsorship as he is in an unskilled job at present as a kitchen porter..he does the dirty work in kitchen and makes starters and deserts, he also prepares all veg etc. He has no qualifications in this or anything else.

 

So if he came to Perth with us, done 3 months picking fruit or as a sheep hand in outback to extend his whmv, then got a regular job......anyone know what the chances of sponsorship would be?

There must be lots of people out there who have had to follow this route....anyone got any advice?

Hi,

 

Have you thought about getting your son on an apprentiship? I've noticed that on the Government websites there seems to be much talk about kids getting a trade. You may well have to pay for the course but wouldn't that be better than leaving him in the UK? The world is his oyster if he has a trade under his belt!

Hi Alison

 

We're in the process of a visa application at the moment and have a 19 year old son as well as two younger children. He is in full time college so is applying as a dependent, however he has a part time job where he earns a really good wage and commission and our migration agent has told us he may earn too much to be classified as a dependent. If this is the case he will have to come over on a working holiday visa and them apply as a 'left' relative. Our agent doesn't seem to think this is too much of a problem although this category of visa does work out quite a bit more expensive. Hope this helps, Good Luck.

Yes, I've been down that route, unfortuneately he is from my 1st marriage so cant be classed as a remaining relative as he still has his paternal father in uk!
