_______________________________________________ Thanks a ton for the detailed response. This really helps. Appreciate it mate. Cheers Croydon

Thanks for the info. I do understand that it is now 189 and 190 via skill select. Of course, you are spot on with the 'cheap gig' remark. But I am sure in the end it will be worth it!!!

Hi I read somewhere on the Australian Immigration website that 'required to demonstrate and/or declare that they have genuine access to sufficient funds to be granted a student visa. Applicants may have to demonstrate sufficient funds to cover these expenses for the first one or two years in Australia, depending on their assessment level' My questions therefore ( and I apologize if these are one too many) are: - Is the above also applicable in someway for the the below categories? Skilled – 189 Skilled –190 - Does any know if one needs to show any funds prior to VISA application? - What is the amount to be shown per person (for a family of 4 - Wife, 2 kids and self)? - Does the evidence have to be funds in my bank account or - can it be in the form of assets or - can it be the balance in account + assets? - If money is to be shown, does the required amount have to be in the account for a certain history say last 3 months or last 6 months? Any information regarding the all or some of the above would be really appreciated. Thanks ___________________________________________________________________________________ The trouble with cash flow is that the tide always seems to be going out!
