Re: skilled independent class 136 bond
I seem to remember that it is for a minimum of 12 months, and it has to be made before the visa is granted. I've also read somewhere that once they ask you to make the investment, the granting of the visa is just a formality. Not sure if this is true, but it would make sense.
