Hello, thanks for your input, however, I have 5 burning questions for you, kindly answer to douse my ignorance.

How is the job market in Australia for Frontend software engineers or Website Developers?
What type of Visa should one apply for without a job sponsorship from Australia?
How much does one need in their account to move to Australia as a skilled migrant without a job in Australia i.e. Bloc account, asset declaration etc.?
What is the total cost and duration of this process?
What would be the cost of moving with my wife who just graduated as a Nurse (Bs.N, RN) and our 3yr son?
Lastly, what is the wage for say menial jobs if I don't get the desired job in my field of proficiency.

As per your questions
How is the job market in Australia for Frontend software engineers or Website Developers?
check seek.com.au to have an idea.

What type of Visa should one apply for without a job sponsorship from Australia?
- Visa 189 or 190 but check here for all available options.

How much does one need in their account to move to Australia as a skilled migrant without a job in Australia i.e. Bloc account, asset declaration etc.?
- To live in Australia while looking for a job or some sort of proof? If the former it depends on your desired level of comfort and size of family.

What is the total cost and duration of this process?
- What process? The immigration process. Anything from 3 months to couple of years. Check here for more details.

What would be the cost of moving with my wife who just graduated as a Nurse (Bs.N, RN) and our 3yr son?
- See question 3.

Lastly, what is the wage for say menial jobs if I don't get the desired job in my field of proficiency.
- This also depends on the job. e.g see this for a cleaner
Minimum wage in AU is $19.84/hour or $750+ per week.

@ Belong and skyrocke1, please I need your comments on this.

My wife has a provisional admission in one of the schools in Aussie. We have #10m in our savings account and one of her friends is willing to part sponsor her and the person in question has #10m in TB and about #4m in her current account.

She is willing to show evident of willingness to part sponsor her via a sworn affidavit.

My wife will apply for visa covering herself and our 2 children aged 9 and 6. But she will be going alone to test the waters.

The plan is that in 6 to 12 months time, when she must have stabilized, I will apply for my own visa and join her with the children.

Now my question:
a) will the proof of fund by her part sponsor supported by affidavit be acceptable?

b) will I be given visa after 6 to 12 months? One reason for not including myself in the visa is lack of funds.

c) by the way, her school is in Perth. Originally she was granted admission in UTAS. But we heard there are no jobs in Tasmania, thus, necessitating our application for admission in Perth. Are there jobs in Perth?





Australia probably won’t open its boarders till next year.. I say make the money 15 million Naira... even if na to borrow the remaining and apply together... Hope her course is in PR list and if possible try regional areas (maybe not Tasmania)

Thanks for your input. Seems Nigerians in Australia are wondering and more willing to assist than those in say Britain. Can I get an idea of what it would cost me to move with Visa subclass 189 or 190? I don't want to wait for job sponsorship. Thanks.

She is willing to show evident of willingness to part sponsor her via a sworn affidavit.

Your wife will need to proof to the CO why her friend is sponsoring her and not any relative. She has to show what the motivation is for the friend in paying thousands of dollars for her to study while her account doesn't show she has that enough to give away.

My wife will apply for visa covering herself and our 2 children aged 9 and 6. But she will be going alone to test the waters.

The plan is that in 6 to 12 months time, when she must have stabilized, I will apply for my own visa and join her with the children.

Whatever you do, make sure you apply together. It is easier to get family visa than apply later as subsequent entry. In the initial application, you can explain that the secondary applicant is staying behind due to work commitment and will only be visiting when required.



Now my question:
a) will the proof of fund by her part sponsor supported by affidavit be acceptable?

Refer to first statement.

b) will I be given visa after 6 to 12 months? One reason for not including myself in the visa is lack of funds.

Going by experience, there is 90% chance you will be denied as subsequent entrant because opinion is formed that the primary applicant has given a go ahead that it is good to relocate permanently. Apply together.

c) by the way, her school is in Perth. Originally she was granted admission in UTAS. But we heard there are no jobs in Tasmania, thus, necessitating our application for admission in Perth. Are there jobs in Perth?

Every single state has been hit by COVID-19. No country is a safe haven at the moment. However, post COVID-19, Perth is better than Hobart in terms of economic activities.

For citizens and PR, the Australian government is providing fortnight payment to support those who have lost their jobs and also for companies that are hit by the pandemic.

I don't know what the Canadian govt is providing but what the Australia. Government is providing is enough to sustain a family.

It's up to the department to decide whether that will be included on your test list, but its mostly you will be required to get tested on it because you are applying from overseas.

No. There are a few hospitals designated for Australian visa medicals.
In Lagos, you have IOM, Ikeja and Fatayi Williams Clinic, Lagos Island; and IOM in Abuja too, I think.

@ Bellong ,

Thank you so much for your response to my earlier questions.

Based on your recommendation, which I further validated, we have decided to apply for family visa.

Now the next question:

a) can my pension statement with stanbic IBTC which currently stand at a little above #6.5m be included in our proof of fund?

b) what could possible be our proof of home ties? I have my house in the village in the east. 2 empty plots of land in Ogun state. A registered company though yet to start business.

What information do you seek again after you have been told by more than one person?

If you have paid the agent, either you count your loss and move on or collect your money back
