    Anyone know what the overall cost of the visa is. Going with visa first and their price is 5500 for myself and husband and three kids. Would this be about right or can you do it cheaper

    Hello,

    What occupation are you applying under and what element of that cost is going to the visa company and I will tell you if the costs are average.

    You can of course apply without the help of a visa agent but if using an agent make sure the individual you will work with is registered with www.mara.gov.au.

    I assume if you have been quoted then you know which of you is to be the main applicant and how you sit for points and the timeframes? My concern would be timing and applying before July 1st. I suggest you ask the visa company for a breakdown of the costs so you know what part is compulsory as in the actual visa charges and then the amount payable to the visa agent. I also recommend you seek a written assessment of your eligibility and the process involved. Those two occupations are very different so different processes and therefore different costs and timeframes as well as varied State Sponsorship pathways.

    We will be going on his. Do you think we would not be eligible we seem to have enough points. Just thought we'd fill out all paper work and wait didn't even enter my head we wouldn't get it. Have most of documents together so hopefully we will make it b4 deadline. They want 2800 for assessment application so that's for them to look over all the paperwork I suppose. Oh I'm getting confused now what to do.
