Me too, to be honest am getting fed up with it all now...doing my head in.

We have £23K which in not tied up then the equity in the house but if there asking for $60 AUS D then am about £15k short....

Might as well give up now...!!

God this is so stressful !!

Keep yah chin up x

I suppose you could give up, it depends how much you want it. Sure it's stressful, lot's of things in life are but if we gave up at every hurdle then not much would ever get done.
If it was easy to get to Oz, then everyone with half an idea to go there would be in and the place would be bursting at the seams.
£15K might sould like a lot of money, it is, but it's not unachievable. A couple of years back a company went bust on us owing us over forty grand, I thought we were f----d to be honest, but I was not going to give up easily and we turned things round.
I learned a lot that year, one of which is that if it's worth fighting for, then bloody well fight for it.

Good luck all.

Chris.

We are a family of 4 and I recieved a request from Qld on Mon. I had to prove i had savings (or accessable liquidated assests) of more than $34000 - about 17k.

I could not use equity in property etc as any form of evidence.

I am not qualified to say that the figure of $34000 is generic to all families of 4, a figure may be given on a case by case basis but at least you get a feel for what is being done.

Another important point is that you are given 60 days to provide your proof, if you cannot do so your case is closed (or that was the criteria given in my particular scenario).

I hope this info helps you plan for any eventuality, but then again as you say, you may not even be asked.

Good Luck

Liam

im a march 25th applicant,
and finally they have now shown interest in my application and is requesting to prove/show my financial capability of $ 27k ( we are a family of 4)i wonder whats the basis. and they are requesting for me to provide some more proof that i was an apprentice as a baker.. what more do they want?my agent has sent everything to them that we provided TRA...AND that was very detailed...any suggestions?

Just sent off my application this morning via courier from South Africa with proof of 56,000$ for a family of 5.By the sounds of things though they are getting more and more strict so hopefully that will suffice without the goal post changing again

So did they already have proof of the financial information in your original application or was this the first you heard of it? Likely as you were a March applicant they did not ask you initially for it??

Things are moving ...

I've been asked for proof of funds this morning (app received on 30 March).
I didn't provide it back in March because it had not been on the list of required documents.

I am a carpenter - so I dare say all you tradies out there shouldn't worry too much because our professions were taken of Qld's elibility list


ps: The request was sent per email

Brilliant news....good luck with everything else....should start moving fast for you now..

They did not ask for a specific document - I think it's up to us to decide what is appropriate and/or sufficient.
The emphasis, though, was on "funds in form of savings rather than any other asset forms such as house, etc.".
