如果有一个已经超过23岁的子女，想要通过父母拿到PR 是不是完全没有可能呢？移民局 form 1496i 上面的信息就100%正确么？
移民局局给出的信息基本上的内容是
For children aged 18 to 23 years, provide evidence that they are, and have been for a
substantial period, wholly or substantially reliant on you or your spouse or de facto partner for
financial support to meet their basic needs of food, clothing and shelter and that their reliance
on that person is greater than any reliance on any other person, or source of support.
Additionally, for children aged 23 years and over, provide evidence that they are wholly or
substantially reliant on you, or your spouse or de facto partner for financial support because
they are unable to earn a living to support themselves due to physical or cognitive limitations.
To be considered eligible, a child must not be engaged to be married, or have a spouse or de
facto partner. 意思是对于18岁到23岁的子女，需要提供证明此子女完全或者实质上相较于其他人，更依赖于主申请人或者主申请人的配偶。此依赖是经济上的依赖主要表现在食物，衣服，居住方面。如果申请人超过23岁了，还需要提供申请人由于身体或者精神上的原因不能自理，导致必须依赖于租申请人或者主申请人的配偶。
我们认为移民局在form 1469i 上的信息不完整。其实还是有其他办法让身体健康的23岁以上的子女，成功移民澳洲的。Form 1469i 上的信息只是对应了移民法中Member of family unit 的定义。但是并没有表述出dependent Child 的定义。在移民法中境外309类别的配偶签证和境内820类别的配偶签证这里有细微的。
其中309签证规定
309.31 Criteria to be satisfied at time of application
309.311
The applicant is a member of the family unit of, and made a combined application with, a person who satisfies the primary criteria in Subdivision 309.21.
而820签证的规定是
820.31 Criteria to be satisfied at time of application
820.311
The applicant is:
(i) a dependent child of a person who has applied for a Partner (Residence) (Class BS) visa; or
(ii) a member of the family unit of a person who:
(A) is the holder of, or has been the holder of, a Subclass 300 (Prospective Marriage) visa; and
(B) has applied for a Partner (Residence) (Class BS) visa; and
(b) the sponsorship (if any) in respect of that person includes the applicant; and
(c) the Minister has not decided to grant or refuse to grant a visa to the person.
可以看出820签证多了一个dependent child 的路径。而dependent child 并没有规定申请人必须23岁以下，也没有规定申请人必须身体或者精神上有残疾。所以这个细微的差别导致了一个可以给我们利用的法律漏洞。通过这个漏洞，可以把30岁以上的子女带入到820签证的申请中。从而让超过23岁以上的子女拿到澳洲PR。
这个脑洞不要说是非专业人士，就是从事移民行业多年的专业人士都觉得不可理喻。我曾经在一次行业会议出提出过这个23岁以上子女移民澳洲的解决方案。所以与会者都认为我是天方夜谭。帮超过23岁以上子女移民完全没有可能，认为是不可能推翻的定理一样，所有人都不愿意哪怕是推敲一下我的说法的可行性。所以所有能找到的公开的信息都表明超过23岁子女移民是不可行的。
昨天我们成功实践了帮一位30多岁的子女加入了配偶签证，并且成功的获得了PR。我相信真理往往是掌握在少数人手中的。有的时候甚至是掌握在一个人手中的。
