Ollie Keeler Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hey everyone heres the situation.. I am currently here in Australia on my 2nd year working holiday visa with 9 month remaining. My dads cousin lives here (my second cousin i believe) and I'm currently working for there own business, driving trucks. I need to no what is the best visa to go on and how to go about sorting it out, as truck driving isn't on the occupation list. i am very desperate and determined to stay here as I've fallen in love with the place!! I haven't really got the money to go and see an migration agent as they are very expensive. :wacko: My mum and dad are desperate to come out to so can his cousin sponsor them to come here? does that mean i can stay here to if they can sponsor them? Any help would be an advantage as I'm at a dead end and not sure what to do next. Much appreciated. Ollie :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpursuit Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 hi Ollie. just a quick reply. i think the only visa that allows for a first cousins to sponsor is 489, which is point-tested. that means your occupation has to be at least in CSOL. good luck Ollie.

MovingtoTasmania Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Your father's first cousin is your first cousin once removed. Your father's first cousin's children are your father's second cousins and your second cousins once removed. Sorry to split hairs but the distinction may be important.

lebourvellec Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Being sponsored by family in Australia is a thing of the past, only visas left are 489 which needs occupation on SOL not CSOL as stated above. And the 489 is only a provisional visa. Your dads cousin can not sponsor them as no suitable visas. Best option would be return home re-train and qualify for your own PR visa, and after 2 years living in Australia if your parents can pass the family balance test, they may be eligible for the Parent Contributory visa which currently costs $100,000 for a couple. Your dads cousin for sponsorship is a dead end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lebourvellec Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 No You would need 3 years work experience post qualification to gain positive skills assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'd go back to the UK and get those three years of experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 At the moment I can see no visa options for you. Your best way forward would be to return to the UK and gain the experience required to pass a skills assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
