Hi All

I am in the process of applying Aussie PR. I look for 175 or 176 skilled visa.
I have a below 2 questions, if i like to apply with 176.

OPTION-1
My partner has her uncle in New Zealand, living there as a NZ citizen.

OPTION-2
My partner has her first cousine, living in Melbourne as a PR holder.

What are our chances for getting sponsored ?

Thank You

Neither is valid to sponsor, see this list:
Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) Visa (Subclass 176)

Uncle would be IF he was usually resident in AU, but he is not.

Cousin is not a valid sponsor.

How long a NZ residence, should live in Australia before he sponsors someone under 176 visa ?
What are other conditions and obligations. What kind of documentroy evidence needed ?

Please clarify ..

Thanks

If you go through the link that amaslam posted you'll see the relationships that are allowed. Although it mentions 'eligible NZ citizen' (see link for definition
General Skilled Migration ) I still think that they need to be a relative as defined in Amaslam's link.

Regards,
Karen
