Do it Right the First Time
A person who falls within one of the degrees of relationship to an Australian citizen or permanent resident is not automatically eligible to migrate to Australia. Eligibility for preferential family visas are closely scrutinised and highly regulated. The classes of people eligible are narrowly defined.
A large percentage of migration applications are unsuccessful. For example, offshore migration requests for 1998 - 1999 resulted in 31,525 visas refused with only 52,798 visas granted the same year (statistics provided by DIAC: family, skilled, business programs).
For the 2005-2006 Family Migration program 6,239 family visas were refused (partners, fiancés, parents, relatives not including skilled and business).
The obligations on sponsors can be heavy, too, as they can include the payment of substantial sums as bonds, which can be forfeited in certain circumstances - for example, if the visa holder relies on the Medicare or Social Security systems in Australia within the first two years of their arrival.
It is necessary to carefully examine each individual's circumstances in order to determine whether they are eligible to apply for a particular visa and their prospects of success in that application. Professional guidance is strongly recommended for this category.
In today's ever-changing, increasingly unpredictable immigration landscape, it's more important than ever to get a case done right the first time -- it's crucial to make a correct, thorough application the first time, with accurate forms, visa category and supporting documents.
