Risks & important considerations
Eligible family member
A family relationship alone does not guarantee reunification. The sponsor’s status and the applicable family rules determine eligibility.
Civil records
Marriage, birth or dependency documents may need translation, certification or legalisation. Inconsistent details can create avoidable delays.
Housing and means
The authority may assess the sponsor’s accommodation and resources. Prepare evidence that reflects the actual household.
