Hi Sam,

Have you checked to make sure that your Uncle can sponsor you? I'm only asking since I thought the relationship had to be closer than that, but I could be wrong.

I think that going for both visas at the same time could be confusing, so try one at a time.

Have you spoken to an agent about this?
Maybe this could be a question for an expo?

We used an agent so they guided us through the process.
Once you've decided upon the visa it's a matter of applying and going through the process. The immigration offices will let you know when to have medicals, and police checks done.

By the way when you're doing the points test you should be included too even if you have no skills in demand, since you would going in on the visa too and may add some points to the total (even just because you speak English).

Regards,
Karen
