Assurance of Support

[Arilla]

Hi

 

Having finally got past meds etc I have hit a glitch with the AoS as although my assurer had been working when I first applied she has now gone back to uni and although she has assets she doesnt have the income for this and last year and it looks like the fact that I could more than support myself doesnt come into the equation either. Although we will be asking friends in Oz we are also looking into the possiblity of starting a company to act as the assurer. I have my own company here and it looks like the process is similar - although more expensive - in Australia but the regs say that you need the ABN and bank account details. When I set up my company here it took about 6 weeks between applying for the account and it being opened ie invoices could be paid into it. So as the letter states that there is a 28 day limit there may not be time to get it setup and I assume saying 'we are waiting for the account to be set up' wouldn't really be a good reason for a delay and would make it pretty clear that its being setup mainly to lodge the bond.

Would anyone know whether they just need the details to pay in the interest and refund it at the end of the two years or if they need the money to be transferd from the company account? How long it takes to setup a company and open a company bank account? I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone down this route (or any other routes really) and what their experience has been. Many thanks in advance.

I did a Google search and came up with a few addresses that might help - some of them Government, some of them private sector - banks.
