The closest answer I can find for your question is at the website of the Dept of Immigration and Citizenship where it is stated: "Your family members may be eligible to apply for a visa to accompany you to Australia. Family members are subject to the same Assessment Level as the student, regardless of the type of passport the family member holds." It might please you to know that recently the Australian Immigration department has announced a reduction in the Student Visa Assessment Levels for the Philippines. The Philippines is listed as one of the countries with the lowest Assessment Level 1. Having a very low AL1 means low documentary evidence to support claims for the grant of a student visa. These include evidence of English proficiency, financial capacity and academic qualifications. You can find more information by visiting the Immigration website from <a href="http://romeocayabyab.com/student-visa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Hope this helps. Let me know how I can be of further assistance with regard to your query. Romy Hi yna,

I wanted to bring my son 25 years old and daughter 22 years old, both nurses. What is the legal best and economical way to bring them to OZ? The visa agent recommend they must have an offer to study from schools in Australia in as part of the documentary proof for visa application. Am reading websites indicating between 8 to 10 months of study and allowed to work. Are there short course study they can avail and at same time work? The visa agent is trying to get them on 457 as secondary visa though a long shot. I have submitted dependency requirements as requested except for the study offer. What are their chances? What are options? Romy,

They express interest in hiring me, but they do not sponsor candidates since it is not part of their program. They advised me to apply for a skilled visa (independent since no sponsorship) for Australia and call them once it was approved. I was trying to get in touch with the Australian embassy here in the Philippines but I got confused by the long automated machine calls. I made a few inquiries to an Australian Immigration solutions company and the cost amounted to $ 6,500 (Skill assessment fee, Immigration department visa fee + their work fee), this money is a fortune compared to what I have right now, so I decline their assistance. Honestly, I really have no idea how to do this. To make matters worse last week, another company took another interest in my online CV, this time an IT recruitment agency, they too are willing to help me once I got there. Now I am quite frantic since this is a rare opportunity for me to help my parents. My questions are; 457 visa vs skilled visa. which is cheaper and easier to get? How much does it cost here in the Philippines, how do I Apply, what do I need, where do I go? Thanks and Regards Hi sir, I had a job offer last month regarding a job from an IT company in Au.
