Hello guys!
I've spent 10 days in Melbourne and will be leaving tomorrow morning. Back to KL, sigh. Met up with a couple of friends that are now living here and i feel so envious of them.
I graduated from UTAS couple years back so its not my first time in Aus/Melbourne. Have always felt that its a nice place to live.
I've read all of v2 thread and have some questions.
- will the 3 - 4k application fees be refunded if we fail our applications for a visa? Eg. Due to failure in meeting the requirements?
- i graduated with a bachelors deg which i dont think will ever be in the skilled occupation list, so i feel that chances are slim for me to come over for work. My friends told me however that because the majority of my siblings are in aust, i can apply using the remaining relative visa to get a PR. However, i did some reading online and if im not mistaken, its not "majority sibling in aust" but it's if you're the only one left outside of Aust. My parents are still in Malaysia, so im not the only one left. Just wanted to check if any of you came over using this visa? Can share your experience please?
Happy chinese new year guys!
Thanks
Not refundable if failed....
Not type of degree, but your profession that matters....see the MLTSSL and STOL....if your profession is in the list, you have chance....
Check your points as stated above....
The "majority of relatives" rule apply to parents only not siblings.... siblings must be last one....so if you have 2 or more siblings in Oz....they can sponsor your parents over (contributory category cost about AUD50k and takes 2-3 years)....then they sponsor you over as last family member....a friend is in the process....parent(father already passed away) just got parent visa, so starting the last relative process....
