Hi everyone.
I'm seeking your opinion on how to withdraw the dependent visitor visa and re-apply a new one as the main applicant
My parents arrived in NZ last year on 3 months single visitor visa which expire the end of Feb 2020
We have already applied for another visitor visa so they can stay here for another 6 months. My dad is the main applicant and my mom is the dependent
X-ray examinations were required. My dad X-ray showed some shadows on his lung and he needs to do more tests with the chest specialist to confirm TB not present which could take 6-8 weeks. He was ill due to pneumonia back to 1988. My mom X-ray is normal nothing concern.
What I'm thinking is to have my mom to lodge a new Visitor Visa on her own as if it were in the worst case scenario their joint current application got declined as my dad is not ASH; my mom still can stay here on her own for few more months.
Do you think it's reasonable approach? We are going to write back to the Case Officer to ask for more time as TB test will take 6-8 weeks.
Many thanks
