Case Background

The applicant has a son who is currently undertaking PhD studies on a student visa in Australia. His son had experienced difficult circumstances and has been suffering from depression. Her son does not have any friends or family here in Australia and is lacking for kin support.

Case Deliberations

• Substantial Evidence from Medical Psychiatrists will add evidential weighing to the matter. Family kinship can be confirmed as a helping factor by medical experts.
• The applicant had nursing experiences in a hospital where she has extensive knowledge in ways of treating mental illnesses and she has ability to provide her son with more than just kin support.
• The applicant had a medical history of having depression and had records of his past consultations with doctors in his home country for years in the past.

Case Outcome

The applicant had been granted with a visitor visa and was able to enter into Australia in time to care for his son in person.
