The Child category is for the natural
child, adopted child or stepchild
of a sponsor. The sponsor must be an Australian citizen, Australian
permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen.
Where a child was adopted after the sponsor
became a permanent resident, they should apply under the Adopted Child
category.
Note that a child can only be granted a
permanent Child visa on the basis of a step relationship in circumstances
where the child's natural or adopted parent is no longer a spouse of the
step parent and that step parent has been granted legal responsibility for
the child by a court. |
