    Default Will ORS application for child post a risk to PR application for an existing resident visa holder ?

    Posting on behalf of my friend...thanks for the help

    I am a new migrant with a SMC resident visa and my entire family is with me in Auckland on a resident visa. My youngest boy has Down's Syndrome and we declared his condition clearly during the SMC RV application. We recently enroll him into primary school and the school referred us to MOE to start an ORS application for him.

    Thus would like to ask if anyone know if the ORS application (and if approved) would be a risk to our PR application in the next 1.5 years or even impact our current residency immediately?

    The child HAS residence, and so have the others in the family, which you say was granted in full knowledge of his condition. Was a medical waiver required for him?

    Yes. Every one in the family has residence under my SMC RV application. We underwent the normal medical assessment + provided details of his condition as well as provided additional development assessment results from a child development specialist when asked by the CO when his medicals was assessed as part of our ITA application. So no we didn't require or got a medical waiver.

    As long as INZ was fully aware of your childs condition during the process then it shouldn't have an impact. They've already made that judgement call and given you residence

    As per RV2.5 (The permanent residence instructions) there is a character assessment as part of PR (RV2.5e) but there is no mention of a health assessment.

    I agree with Nzs. Residence is granted based upon the assessment of your application BEFORE the grant of the visa, and (apart from any Section 49(1) conditions, e.g. about staying in the same job for a certain length of time), there isn't anything hanging over you for AFTERWARDS. Nothing can get a residence visa revoked unless there was any fraud involved in the application, or unless the holder commits a serious crime. And the whole family will get their PR when whoever was the main applicant for residence qualifies, and gets their PR - the secondary applicants don't have any requirements upon them.
