Family Sponsorship Withdrawing a Family Member

Hi Everyone,

I submitted family sponsorship application in 2021 March for my parents and my sibling as their dependent. Now the medical exams are passed. Is it possible to withdraw my sibling from the application and how?

Thanks for your advice!

Are they under 22, single and are dependents of your parents?
They can be changed to non-accompanying dependents. But they will still count for your family size.
However, I do not know the exact steps to update the application to exclude dependents for PGP.

Thank you for the advice! He was under 22 when I submitted the application but now he is over 22.

Do you NOT want to sponsor him? Cos his age is locked at the date when the application was received.

This maybe his last chance.

That's correct. He was included in the application, but I no longer want to sponsor him.

OK. Hopefully, others can provide some details on the steps to update all the forms.

IMO you need to update forms that show him as accompanying dependent and write a letter to explain that you want to remove him as accompanying dependent of your parents.

It's most likely done via web form. But again, I do not have step by step details.
