Hi,
I am a green card holder currently residing in the USA. I applied for migration to Australia under the skilled migrant subclass 126 category and was granted approval in july 1999. I was single at that time. I have been to Australia multiple times after the approval to visit my relatives and to look for potential job or business opportunities.
I have met all the conditions of the migration visa (arrival into Australia before the initial entry expiration date and not getting married before the first entry to australia). The visa that I got allows for multiple travel till 2004. However, I am still residing in the U.S. in order to complete my work contract.
I got married 2 years ago and we have a daughter as well. We have now decided to migrate to Australia. However I am not sure as to how to apply for migration for my wife and child. I assume that I cannot add them to my application isince it has been processed and complete. So, I assume that my wife and child have to apply under the Family Migration categiory, but I am not sure if this is correct. If this is correct, will my length of residence in Australia (or the lack of it) affect the chances of approval?
Please advice.
