He or she is your blood relative, and for sure they will ask you in the visa form if you have a relative in Australia. Your answer will be yes. It makes sense if he can sponsor than using a nigeria resident sponsor unless the nigeria sponsr too got strong financial evidences and document.

your relative visa history and circumstances that made them became PR or citizen might affect your chances though.

Apparently the person is on student visa (PhD) he lecture at a university in Australia.

I will suggest you use your parents or family here in Nigeria

I wished I could, but the only option I have is my bro in Australia

Solitin40:

Yes you can use his SOA it is clearly stated on DIBP website

Thanks Solitin40...... I hope it's not a red flag for GTE using Australia resident(blood brother) SOA.......

Please is it advisable to use statement of account of my blood brother that resides in Australia......... I will appreciate your opinions..... Thanks

Modesty is a virtue.
