FAQ

  • Can the sponsor already be the sponsor for another person?

    No, unless the new applicant is a member of the family unit of the previous applicant, and is travelling for the same purpose as the previous applicant. In addition, if the previous applicant did not comply with a condition of their visa and 5 years have not passed since they were granted their visa, the sponsor cannot sponsor another person.

  • Is false or misleading information a serious offence?

    Yes, giving false or misleading information is a serious offence.

  • What information is required on this form?

    The form requires the sponsor's name, contact details, and declaration of acceptance of obligations and financial responsibility for the sponsored family visitor.

    If the sponsor has previously sponsored an applicant who held a Sponsored (Visitor) (Class UL) visa or Visitor (Class FA) visa and that applicant did not comply with a condition of their visa, and 5 years have not passed since they were granted their visa, the Minister must not approve this sponsorship application.

  • What is the role of security bond in this application?

ABOUT

Join or Bring Family Forms

Form 1149 is one of application forms that individuals use to sponsor and facilitate the immigration or reunion of their family members in a different country. These forms are often associated with family-based immigration programs or policies that allow individuals who are already residing in a particular country to bring their immediate family members to join them. The specific forms may vary depending on the country and its immigration system, but here are some common examples:

Family Sponsorship Application Form: This is the main form used by individuals who wish to sponsor their family members for immigration. It collects information about the sponsor (the person already residing in the country) and the family members being sponsored, including their relationship, personal details, and supporting documentation.

Dependent Visa Application Form: In some immigration systems, individuals who are already residing in a country may apply for dependent visas to bring their immediate family members, such as spouses, children, or parents. The dependent visa application form gathers information about the sponsor, the dependent family members, their relationship, and supporting documentation.

Affidavit of Support: In certain countries, sponsors may be required to submit an affidavit of support, which is a legal document affirming their financial responsibility for the sponsored family members. This document often includes details about the sponsor's income, assets, and ability to support the family members financially.

Medical Examination Forms: Family members being sponsored for immigration may be required to undergo a medical examination to ensure they meet the health requirements of the destination country. Medical examination forms collect the necessary health information and test results.

Relationship Documentation Forms: In order to prove the familial relationship between the sponsor and the family members being sponsored, various documents may be required. These can include birth certificates, marriage certificates, adoption papers, or other supporting evidence of the family relationship.

It's important to note that the specific forms and requirements can vary significantly depending on the country and its immigration laws and policies. It's advisable to consult the official website of the immigration authority or seek legal advice to obtain accurate and up-to-date information regarding the necessary forms and processes for sponsoring or bringing family members to a particular country.
