how can we get family over here?

[seekingsunshine 10]

Hi!

was wondering if anyone could offer any advise...we have no experience of this visa business really as i am an oz citizen and hubby came on spouse visa so was very easy for us!

 

my husbands sister (29) wants to emigrate to south australia with her husband (34) and their daughter (1)

 

my sister in law has nvq level 3 in childcare but hasnt worked in that occupation since she qualified!

 

her husband is an unqualified painter and decorator and has been working as such for the past two years (before that was in debt collecting)

 

we believe we could give them some points by sponsering them but not enough that it would make any difference!

 

my husbands parents still live in uk so we are not their last remaining relatives....

 

what other possibilities are there? could they study for something and come on a tempoary visa? we have no idea if there is any way to get them out here!

 

any help greatly appreciated!

If your OH's sister has not been working in her occupation then that is a non starter. There might be possibilities with her husband though, if not now but perhaps he could work towards it as Painter and Decorater is on the skilled occupation lists. I recommend he investigate what would be required to get a positive skills assessment and then see what he can do to work towards that.

 

The points that they could get from your sponsorship will hopefully come in handy down the line.

 

I don't think coming on a student visa is really a good idea, it is very expensive and can lead nowhere anyway.

Hi,

 

Your brother in law may well be in the hunt for skilled migration. Tell him to check out this web site to obtain an Australian qualification.

They do assessments in the UK.
