Its for the permanent skilled residence.

We had to invest $5000 for a family of 4 on a skilled designated area sponsered visa.

If your uncle sponsors you, you would have to apply for the 138. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/gener...migration/138/

If he lives in a designated area you would have to apply for the skilled designated area sponsered visa.

He would then sponsor you and you would have to find someone who earns over $40k(ish) to provide the Assurance of Support.

If you can find another 5 points, it would be easier to apply for the 136 which doesn't need an Assurance of Support.

You also have the option of investing $100,000 for a year in order to get an additional 5 points, have a look here:

http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/gener...investment.htm

This capital investment option is available for the 136 visa (skilled indepedent - no sponsor, no AOS, 120 points required) and 138 visa (skilled Australian sponsored - sponsor, AOS, 110 points). Both are permanent.

Have a look at:

for a better description of your visa options.
