SCENARIO You are a registered migration agent. A former client, Kurpreet, has come to you for some further advice. You previously assisted Kurpreet when she was facing a difficult time obtaining her Partner Class BS (subclass 801) visa as her relationship had broken down and she had suffered family violence during her relationship. Kurpreet trusts your advice as you were successful in assisting her in the grant of her Partner Class BS (subclass 801) visa based on the family violence provisions and guided her patiently through the terrible circumstances she endured. Kurpreet has been living in Australia since 2015. Kurpreet approaches you in relation to her mother Sangeet, aged 76, who lives in Mumbai, India. Kurpreet's father, Sunal, died a few months ago of cancer and now Kurpreet's mother is living alone and is very lonely. Kurpreet's relatives, although they care about her, do not visit as frequently as she would like. Kurpreet would love to be reunited with her mother, as she too has felt quite lonely in Australia for the past year. Kurpreet has two brothers, Simranjeet who is an Australian citizen who has been living in New York for the past 15 years and Prathiba who is currently on a Student Class TU (subclass 500 visa) in Australia. Although Prathiba and Kurpreet are now both in Australia, they live in different states. Kurpreet adored her father who was a Bollywood dancer. In his Will, he left Kurpreet's mother a large apartment in central Mumbai that she is living in which is worth approximately AUD$3,000,000 and a lump sum of money to Kurpreet which is the equivalent of around AUD$1,000,000 on the direction that she looks after her mother. Kurpreet has disclosed that she will pay any of your fees from her inheritance to get her mum to Australia as quickly as possible on a permanent visa. Kurpreet, having gone through the migration process herself, would like to explore permanent visa options only. QUESTION Are there any visa options for Kurpreet's mother and where would you find the Department of Home Affairs visa processing times for the visa option(s) you have identified. You must explain all the visa requirements if there are any visa options. You must support your answers by reference to the specific legislative provisions
