Just a quick question if anyone can advise, myself partner and 3 kids are going for a 190 visa and are at the EOI application stage weve paid our $200 and submitted the app, but.......they've come back with a heads up about needing $35k per couple and $5k per child in funding for the move. We now have a 28day period to submit a figure around this mark before the application goes to the state for sponsorship ahhhhhhh we've got substantial savings but no where near 50 odd grand! well be more like $20k by the time we move maybe next yr depending and have been told by friends who live in Perth that will be more than enough to survive the 1st couple of mths as were staying with friends etc.
Are these funds legal requirements? How much did anyone reading this say they had at a minimum for acceptance of state sponsorship? Any help would be greatly appreciated as we too have no agent and are doing it ourselves.
Many thanks x mel x
