You are a remaining relative if:
• you are the brother, sister, child (or step equivalent) of a person who is settled and usually
resident in Australia, and is an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible
New Zealand citizen; and
• that person, or their partner (if any), is aged 18 years or over and is sponsoring you; and
• your sponsor is not subject to the sponsorship limitations outlined at page 7; and
• if you are a child under 18 years of age, who was adopted overseas by an Australian citizen,
Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen, your adoptive parent had spent
the required 12 months living overseas prior to visa application; and
• you and your partner do not have any near relatives other than those who are usually resident
in Australia and are Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents or eligible New Zealand
citizens

A near relative (as defined at page 3 – Terms you need to know) is a person who is your
(or your partner’s) parent, brother, sister, adult child or non-dependent minor child (or
step equivalents of these relationships).
If you have any near relative (other than those who are usually resident in Australia
and are an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand
citizen) you are not eligible for a remaining relative visa. If you have any near relative
who holds a temporary entry visa for Australia you are not eligible for a remaining
relative visa.
Your application must include information about all near relatives of yourself and your
partner, including whether or not each of those near relatives holds Australian citizenship
or Australian permanent residence status or is an eligible New Zealand citizen.
If any near relatives of yourself or your partner are deceased, you may be required to
provide documentary evidence.

886 is for ppl who studied 2 years. seriously. were u just too busy to look things up or sth. cos if u were serious about this there would have been plenty of time to settle everything.

if u know what u need it would take only about a week to settle all the docs, not incl vetassess, ielts n health check (before the msian high comm decided to pull the lol news on us)

p.s: if you've already passed your 6mth period then 176 it is for u. tough luck.
