so what you are saying is that one affividavit should cover the whole family tree relationship and does dat also imply that i will have to include my father and brothers in my visa application??

page 24 of the visa application said somefin like members of your family unit are your partner and any dependent children of you or your partner who are unmarried, not in defacto relationship and who have not turned 18 years of age. what does this mean??

^^^^^ That is number 24 not page, Note that, any dependent that you included in that section, will increase your financial requirements for living expenses whether they are going with you or not.

The meaning is that you can include any of your family member in case you are married with children less than 18 years so that they will be eligible to join you any time of your choice without much problem

Americanvisa: ^^^^^ That is number 24 not page, Note that, any dependent that you included in that section, will increase your financial requirements for living expenses whether they are going with you or not.

This is correct... When they talk about family ties or your family, they mean your own personal family ie your partner and dependent children below 18. They don't mean your father and brothers or sisters, those they refer as relatives.

Inotherwords those that are stil single don't need to worry abt includin any one else in there application as family ties.

thanks to all for clearing my views and misunderstanding, now i know i shouldnt touch that number but concerning family ties to return home, what exactly should i include in my application.

I have said this time without number, there must not be an evidence of incentives to return home for Nigerians, your CO can determine this from the tone of your application, to set this tone, you have to
1. Make sure your sponsor indicate you are coming back. 2. Make sure you talk about the kind of job you wish to pursue in your home country when you finish your course in your POP. 3. Make sure to talk about how important the course is to your career and to your home country. 4. Be sure to give TANGIBLE reason(s) for choosing to undertake the course in Australia rather than your home country (convince them that you are not using the avenue to run away from your home country). 5. When choosing your departure date, chose 3 weeks or a month after your course ends... Its not as if you are leaving on that date but it will be seen as if you are desperate to return home. Note: this won't affect your visa duration, your visa duration mostly end same date as your OSHC.
Those are just my thoughts, I stand to be corrected. I will write more if I remember.

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. I plan to migrate to australia under the skills select scheme. I have written my ielts and had an average of 8.5 in the general trainning module. I am looking for engineers who may have written their career episodes report for engineers australia so that we can share ideas as I am about writing my own . Is there any one who has received a positive assessment from engineers australia ? Thanks in advance

This is another case officers decision for refusal...

I note that the applicant completed high school in
May 2000. The applicant has not provided
evidence that they have made a thorough
investigation of their study options in Pakistan
which raises serious concerns regarding their
motivation to study in Australia.
I place weight on the fact that the applicant has
been employed since January 2000. The
applicant has not clearly demonstrated the
benefit that undertaking the proposed courses in
Australia would provide to their career prospects.
I cannot be satisfied that the applicant has
demonstrated that the proposed study in
Australia would be of a greater benefit than the
work experience and qualifications the applicant
already holds.
The applicant provided an employer reference
from ( it's my bank name ) which states that they
believe they will be able to accommodate the
applicant in a more challenging and fulfilling role
on completion of his studies. Given the
unguaranteed nature of the job offer, I am not
persuaded that the applicant has a position to
return to upon completion of their studies. I give
no weight to the claims of future employment
upon their return home.

I have given regard to the applicant’s
immigration history as per 573.223(1)(a)(ii). As
the applicant had no immigration history to
consider that may be beneficial or adverse to
their application, this aspect was not relevant to
my assessment.
Clause 573.223 applies to applicants who are
minors i.e. under 18 years of age. As the
applicant is over 18 years of age, this factor was
not relevant to my assessment.
I have given regard to whether there is any other
relevant matter that is relevant to the assessment
of the applicant’s genuine intention to
temporarily stay in Australia and find that no
other matter is relevant to their assessment.
I have considered all the information provided
with the visa application. However, given the
applicant’s personal circumstances and the
comparatively greater economic opportunities in
Australia, I cannot be satisfied that the applicant
intends a genuine temporary stay in Australia.
