OH OH I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT MINING IS FINISHED AND ALL YOUR DREAMS ARE POINTLESS. Fed up with the crap this PO continually spouts: is it Perthbum in drag?

Hi, he is in Rockingham. Can I also say that he was not having a great time here in the UK. Struggling for work and the price for jobs constantly being rammed down. Can I say he is like a different guy and optimism is something I can hear in his attitude to life and work everyday. Go for it: ignore the trolls that have taken over this forum.

Westwood: it does not matter how long your brother has been living in Australia for him to be able to sponsor you on 489. Wht is important is that he stays in a designated postcode and has a permanent residence visa.

Can anyone help!!!!!

Labourvellec, where have you been hiding my darling lol.

No worries College Girl: It's more about the type of cancer and know that the wee boy has no cancer in his system. Therefore, with the DIAC it is more about the chance of the cancer returning and or how many years are you clear of it and if necessary your ability to finance any care in the event of a dreaded relapse i.e. will you be a burden on the state.

My mate AKA Jake Max on the site has been in Perth for 3 weeks and has been offered 2 jobs: the best at circa 1500 dollars a week. he says the place is booming. don't listen to the negative mob on this site. Get your family over there and go for it

More importantly wage increases have not caught up to sustain the level of post crisis house price inflation i.e. affordability. Hence, London and pockets of wealth may or are experiencing the level of house price inflation that those of us throughout the nation experienced before the crash. Therefore, in the meantime, brace yourself for a period of maybe 5 more years of house price correction, should the government not intervene with state backed mortgages beforehand!!!!!.

Hi Northern Bird, I don't know the answer to that, but I do know after a conversation today the Australian Embassy in London fully appreciate the situation, and have suggested due to the circumstances there may be a way to side step the issue of going for a parent visa. The family are contacting their case officer over the next few days.

anyone??????

AJ, good point, and the child visa would be the route, but he has a visa and the child visa starting from scratch, can take up to 12 months. However, you would think that due to the extenuating circumstances the Australian authorities, once satisfied with the wee fella's health, would simply reissue a visa and let the family make the big move now, particularly after all they have been through.

Hi all, Perhaps this question might be answered by Allan Collett or Wrussell: Backgound A good friend of mine has a remarkable wee boy. His name is Ryan , who after a successful bone marrow transplant recovered from cancer last year. Wee Ryan has been given the all clear from his Oncologist However, his cancer was found exactly a week after his family where all granted the then 176 state sponsored visa 2 years ago. Naturally, the family immediately put the Australian dream on hold, as wee Ryan was about to, over the coming year, face the fight of his young life. Thankfully, Ryan beat the cancer after a year and as a consequence only routine visits to the hospital for 6 monthly check ups etc are the level of care required. Dilemma Ryan, due to not being strong enough to fly out to Australia and validate his visa within the one year deadline; unfortunately is the only member of the family not to validate his original 176 visa. What do they do? Can anyone advise what is the next course of action to get wee Ryan, after all he and his family have been through, into Australia and let this family who deserve a positive restart to their life's: and thus allow them to begin their Australian adventure at last?

Hi Claire, A fast way of getting a visa is to get Wullie Haughey Brisbane equivalant of city regrigeration business to sponsor your husband on a 457 visa. it would get you into Australia more or less immediately and while you are their progress to a more permanent visa while gathering Australian work experince points. I take it your husband is a facilities manager and is degree qualified? P.s there is a lot of good people on this site, but beware we have our fair share of internet trolls that just love a newbie to fry, so dont take to heart any negative comments.

Hi Paul I have taken, copied and pasted below details from booklet 6, which outlines the criteria for identifying what is an eligible cousin. Sonsorship by a relative If you have a relative living in a ‘Designated Area’ who is willing to sponsor you, he or she will need to be an Australian citizen, permanent resident or ‘eligible New Zealand citizen’ (see page 5). You or your partner must be related to your sponsor as: • a non-dependent child or non-dependent step-child; • a parent or step-parent; • a brother or sister, step-brother or step-sister; • a niece or nephew, step-niece or step-nephew; • an aunt or uncle, step-aunt or step-uncle; • a first cousin; or • a grandchild or step-grandchild. If you are relying on sponsorship by a person related to your partner, your partner must also be included in your application. To ensure the processing of your application is not delayed, please include a diagram of your family tree with your application. You will also need to include all relevant documents as evidence of your relationship to your sponsor and their residential address. If you are seeking an invitation for this visa on the basis of family sponsorship, when you submit your EOI you will need to provide details of your sponsor. Your sponsor must be an eligible relative living in a designated area. Personally, I think it is irrelevant that your wife's cousin and her do not share the same paternal grandmother. You will notice above, step aunties, uncles, brothers, sisters and granchildren etc qualify as sponsoring relatives. Naturally, you wife and cousins parents' are step brother and or sisters. The issue is therefore: you cant be a a half cousin, there is no such thing, and a second cousin though not eligible would constitute the children of your sponsoring cousin. I hope this helps.

Hi Paul, I too wish to consider applying for a 189 visa application fee refund. Could I ask you conider forwarding the necessary information on how I may go about it. In advance I would be extremely grateful of any advice on getting a refund you may have. P.s I lodged a 489 provisional family sponsored visa today, any advice needed, dont hesitiate to ask.

I can't believe I actually agree with Perthbum!!!!!!!

stevie, I agree with a lot of your views on this site,unfortunately you are way of the mark with this one. There as just as many people on benefits having lost their jobs due to the greed of an elite group of bankers, who are equally as disgusted as those with jobs and not on benefits, about the murder of those poor children by those callous individuals. For Ozbourne to use that tragic event to promote his ideology and cynical peddling that anyone and everyone on benefits are scrounges is absolutely despicable in my book. If you want to be angry with anyone be angry with the bankers and the nasty party that protect them, particularly as they all enjoyed the benefit of a lovely tax break funded by the rest of us.

i will soon: remind me what state you are in: avoid like the plague lol

the usual PO suspects can always be found in the one place!!!

The mans a walking dichotomy lol

Pinocchio or is it: I am the story teller: in Russia I am Ivan, but on Poms in Oz I am pink pants lol

I know jake max: yer lying you hate it in WA and your missing me back in Scotland lol

Can we add pain in the royal arsx to be more specific!!

Paul withdraw the visa application immediately. I had very much the same issue as yourself but a different profession. However, I have lost 2k as it was a straight refusal. Its a grey area prior graduation experience, but the DIAC are not excepting prior graduation or prior qualification as the necessary skill level. I was aDirector for 10 years prior to graduation!! Could I suggest you resist the IELTS and get the band 8 in each section, or maybe consider a 489 visa. Regardless, Good luck: but withdraw your application in case you lose your money.
