Can i file PR for my mother then get her on Visitor Visa

10 years ago
Hi,

I have an Austarlian PR visa and am planning to move to Australia in September 2014.

My mother is a widow and is dependent on me. I am searching for ways in which I can get her to stay with me without any interruption of having to return to india every year.

Only way possible is PR but here is the problem.

I was first thinking of filing her Visitor Visa(subclass 600) and getting her to OZ and then filing for her PR (subclass 884 or 864) . Then filing Bridging till the result of PR is out so she could stay with me without having to return to India.
Biggest Problem here is that the Visitor Visa(sublass 600) has 'No Further Stay' condition imposed on it, and this condition prohibits anyone to file any further Visa on top of it.
Thus filing PR after getting her on Visitor is not an option.

Thus the second thing I am thinking is filing her PR first and then getting her on Visitor Visa. PR would take 12 to 24 months and on visitor visa she can stay with me for 12 months so that at least reduces the PR visa waiting by 0 to 12 months.
But I am not sure if this option is allowed.

Can anyone tell me if I can apply for her PR and then get her to OZ on Visitor Visa?

Please also let me know if you know of any other solution so I can have my mother stay with me without having to return to India.

Any help much appreciated.
