Assurance Of Support
Any one else being sponsored by family or friends ? The Commonwealth Bank Of Australia have just asked me for $150 one off payment for the privilege of depositing $5000 into a savings account which cannot be touched for 2 years from the date of validating our visas. this is something we have not heard or before, has this happened to any one else or are they pulling a fast one ?
