Hi again right if a cousin is going to sponsor you how do you go about it thanks.

The visa you would need is a 489 temporary regional visa. All the info on sponsors is on Skillselect - http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/489.aspx

but basically the cousin would need to be over 18, living in a designated area and have either citizenship, PR or eligible NZ citizen. They would need to be your or your partner's first cousin.

Have you actually sat down and done any reading of the DIBP site? I gave you the relevant links a few days ago.

Yes I have reed some off it. It's just my cousin has lived there over 20 year's now. And he said he would sponsor me. But our second names are not the same. I was wondering how I get over that Thanks.

old.sparkles

Why would your cousin have to have the same surname as you?

billybophead

So what proof would he need ? Thanks.

old.sparkles

If he's eligible, it should all be on the skill select site

billybophead

So what will he have to do his end.

old.sparkles

If you look on the skill select site, there is a tab labelled 'Sponsors' which gives 'who can be a sponsor', 'Sponsor Declaration' and ''Sponsor Obligations'

Hi again I have been in touch with a agent and they are saying that its not the end off the world if I don't pass the English test. She has said that bricklayers are on the sol list for the South Australia. And I can apply for a 4 year working visa. then after 2 year apply for full citizenship Is that right..

I have not read through the previous threads again, but didn't you need IELTS in order to pass the points test? Most people do, so if you cannot get the points you cannot get a skilled migrant visa.

I would suggest you ask the agent what they mean by four year working visa? Sounds like they mean find an employer sponsor for four years, but that could be hard as there is not a lot of sponsorship in the trades. Furthermore no, you could not apply for citizenship at the end of it, you have to progress to a permanent residency visa first.
