Pardesi Express which is a community newspaper has raised the concerns pertaining to the permanent closure of the Parent Visa Sub Class 103 in the form a Petition.
IndianConnection support this initiative of Pardes Express and would requests our readers to ‘KINDLY SIGN AND SUPPORT PETITION RAISED BY “PARDEsI EXPRESS” It is impossible for an average family to raise $125,000 (for Contributory Visa) to get our parents here in Australia. As our parents will be residing overseas, it will affect our daily life, our productivity most of all our children especially those where both partners are working.
If our parents join us, they can look after their grandkids which would be beneficial for government to save child care & Centrelink entitlements as well for us, our kids will learn moral & family values from their grandparents.
