Visa For Elderly Dependent Parent

[lbjcb]

I currently have a Retirement Visa and my elderly mother has the same.

Both used the bank criteria for consideration and approvals.

In the past she has always qualified on her own, but geting a bit expensive to show the required 800,000 for eash of us.

Is it possible for her to obtain a Visa or an extension whatever based on the fact that she is my dependent?

She lives with me and requires someone to help and care for her. Sh is not an invalid, but elderly.

What type of Visa or Extension would she qualify for based on being my elderly dependent ?

Thank you Mario.

Had trouble in the past getting immigration to undertand this. Maybe referring to the specific police order will help.
