Bond info required
Hi all i have searched a bit but cannot find a definitive answer regarding what the bond is about! Is it something you have to pay if your points fall slightly below the pass mark or does everyone have to pay?

thanks for coming back. Under the skilled independent u need to have 120 points to be able to apply. Depending on what DIMIA says your skills are worth,education, age, etc you may fall short of the 120 points required. There is an option to gain additional 5 points for investing $100K . Its for 12 months and earns you interest, and then the money is given back to you, if you desire. Not everyone has to invest in the bond.
Best of luck
Chris

This is the last part of your visa process and is simply an administrive money transfer. You deal with whichever State Treasury you want to, we used Queensland for convenience, as we're off to Brisbane. The guy there was fantastic even answering e-mails almost immedeatly, The Treasury will accept the bond payment from you and then pass on form 1134 to your case officer to confirm the bond payment has been made. Form 1134 and Treasury details will be sent to you once DIMIA has asked for the bond payment to be made. You recieve intrest on the bond from the moment it is accepted, the rate is set from that point as well, we're getting about 7% -tax!! This can either be paid at the end of the 12 month period or 1/2 after 6 months and the rest at the end. Repayment of the bond is made 12 months after it has been accepted wether you have taken up residency or not, obviously this may or may not effect your moving timeframe depending on your circumstances. Hope this helps. Steve.

Now I know you hammers have a soft spot for the Guv'nor (probably the Thames) so I'm sure you'll understand why he was quite pleased to have scored! By the way I hope you lot go up 'cause Preston will get absoloutly stuffed in the Premier League.

Oh, I hope the answer helped you as well, we've had to put the bond up a couple of weeks ago so that's how I know so much about it, we're just waiting for confimation from our agent and/or DIMIA that the visas have been approved. Just a little nervous now, as you can imagine. Steve.
