Any help is much appreciated! Becky Hi Becky Why are you asking this question? Normally, an AoS is only required when the visa is one where the person has a family connection with Oz in the first place. Therefore the AoS is usually given by an Australian relative or close family friend. Up to 3 people can club together to provide an AoS, by the way. Apparently there are commercial organisations that will provide an AoS - for an exorbitant fee and only if they are convinced that they would never have to shell out a dime on behalf of the applicant. It is risk-capital from their point of view, but it is tax-free, so it can sometimes be a good way of reducing their own liability for taxes. Why would you be unable to apply for a visa-type which does not require an AoS in the first place? PM me if you would prefer. I'm NOT a professional in this field, and I can't guarantee to be able to help, but unless I am told the full facts then I can't help at all, I'm afraid.
