Hello
I am a bit new to all this and was wondering if anyone knew if I post the $100,000 bond for the extra five points, I would then not have any money to move and would need to pay it back, so could I then wait until the year was up, get the $100k back, pay off the debt, then move to Australia - I would still be in the five year period, so do you know if that would be okay??

Thanks very much
Jana

That would be OK but remember that you will have to make a trip to Aus anyway to validate your visa.

Hi Jana,

That is exactly what I am going to do. I have no property to sell so I am saving hard and will take out a loan to make up the difference. Then invest the money and wait for 12 months, get the cash back, pay off my investors and go....I will have a keen eye on the exchange rates during this time as I could make or lose a few grand but in my eyes it is worth the risk.

Oh yeah, and I'll have to pop over and validate......so will need to keep some cash back for that.

All this for 5 points....

I am currently considering a prospective marriage visa, myself being Australia and my fiancee American. We are both young and currently without assets and lucrative employment, but we have an Assurer. Could this kind of bond apply to our situation?

Only a discretionary assurance of support (if requested) is required. No bond for this kind of visa. Good luck.

Thank you for your reply, you saved me a heart attack!

I'm sorry for busting in on the thread, too.
