Ms. Zhang is a mother who holds permanent residency in Australia, with a stable job and good living conditions. She wishes to bring her son, Xiao Ming, who is in China, to Australia to reunite with her. To achieve this goal, Ms. Zhang decided to apply for the 101 visa for Xiao Ming.

Processing Procedure

1. Initial Consultation
   Ms. Zhang contacted us via phone and scheduled a face-to-face consultation. During the consultation, we learned about Ms. Zhang’s background, work situation, and her expectations for her son’s future.
2. Confirming Eligibility
   We confirmed her son’s eligibility for the 101 visa, ensuring he met the application criteria, including age (under 18) and the relationship with the applicant (mother and son). We also explained the application steps and the required documents to Ms. Zhang.
3. Document Preparation
   • Organizing Application Materials: We assisted Ms. Zhang in preparing all the necessary documents for the application, including:
     • ① Ms. Zhang’s son’s birth certificate to prove the mother-son relationship
     • ② Ms. Zhang’s identification and permanent residency proof
     • ③ Proof of family income to demonstrate her financial capability
     • ④ Health check-up report for Ms. Zhang’s son
   • No Criminal Record: Since Ms. Zhang’s son was underage, a criminal record check was typically not required. However, we ensured that all other documents met the required standards.
4. Application Submission ：After organizing all the necessary documents, we assisted Ms. Zhang in submitting the 101 visa application through the online system.
5. Health and Character Requirements: Ms. Zhang’s son underwent the required health examination to meet Australia’s health standards. The health check results were submitted to ensure there were no factors that could impact the visa application.
6. Application Result: Approximately six months after submission, Ms. Zhang’s son’s 101 visa application was approved. Upon receiving the approval, Ms. Zhang was excited to prepare for her son’s arrival in Australia and entrusted us with applying to schools for him.
7. Reunion and Adjustment : Ms. Zhang’s successful case demonstrates how professional guidance and thorough preparation can lead to the successful application of a 101 visa for her child. This case highlights the significant role Merchants Prosperity Education and Immigration plays in helping families reunite. We hope that Ms. Zhang and her son’s experience can inspire more families to courageously pursue the dream of reuniting!
