Hi All,
Am a Resident of Australia.
Would like to sponsor my brother (blood relation) to Australia who is currently in UK(student visa,finished his studies)can any one please let me know the steps/procedure.
Much appreciated,
Thanks,
Sam
Hello Samules,
Firstly, your brother might want to see whether he meets the necessary requirements by going through the points test. I would assume that the Visa used to sponsor him would be the Visa 176.Take a look at the below site for more info.
What is the points test? - Workers - Visas & Immigration
At the same time, take a look at the SOL to see which occupation he falls in.
And according to the SOL occupation chosen, he probably needs to get his skill/trade certified by the mentioned Australian Regulatory Body.
He probably has to do an IELTS test also, depending on whether he has adequate points, the best would be for him to try an score an 8 in all the 4 sections.
He will also need to prepare some form of declarations from his company, stating his job and his roles and responsibilites, and they should mirrror the SOL he is applying. And i think he has to be in that role for 3 out of 4 years.
These i believe would be the main concersn, the rest of the requirements would be in the checklist for Visa application.
Hope this helps.
