关于新47SK表中Q16的官方答复(以下答复包含了138的47SK和496的47ST相关问题的说明):<br>
<br>
Thank you for your email regarding the Form 47SK, I apologise for the delay in responding.<br>
<br>
As noted in the instructions for Form 47SK, if the application is for one of the sponsored categories, the family member who is being sponsored must complete Parts B and H as the primary applicant. If the primary applicant is not the skills assessed applicant then no information is required at Part H. Full details of the skills assessed applicant must be recorded at Part I. It is not necessary for you to complete anything at Question 16, because this form is used for several different visa subclasses, not all information is relevant to every subclass.<br>
<br>
The Procedures Advice Manual states:<br>
<br>
The Schedule 2 sponsorship criterion for the Australian Sponsored subclass provides that only the visa applicant who is the immediate (ie blood) relative of the Australian resident sponsor in Australia can satisfy primary criteria. However, to allow the spouse’s circumstances to be taken into account (provided the spouse is also a visa applicant), regulation 2.27A allows the applicants to “combine” certain factors. In effect the spouse “contributes their employability” to the person who must satisfy primary criteria. This process is also known as “combining points”.<br>
<br>
It is important to note that, in such cases, the spouse does not become the applicant who needs to meet the primary criteria. Rather, regulation 2.27 A92 provides that the applicant who needs to satisfy primary criteria (ie the applicant who is the immediate relative of the sponsor) is taken to have satisfied the relevant requirement, the spouse remains a family unit member who must satisfy Schedule 2 secondary criteria. As well, Schedule 2 (or Schedule 1 for skilled student category applicants) prescribes further requirements (for example, favourable skills assessment, vocational English, the 45 year age limit) that the spouse must meet in these circumstances.<br>
<br>
From 1 July 2006 the subclass 139 has been replaced by a two stage visa process, more information about this can be found on our website at<br>

<br>
In response to feedback that the sponsorship requirement for subclass 139 was confusing for applicants, especially when it came to completing the application form, we have amended the regulations when introducing subclass 496.<br>
<br>
The new subclass relevantly provides:<br>
496.212<br>
The applicant is sponsored by a person (the sponsor):<br>
(a) who is 18 or more; and<br>
(b) who is an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen; and<br>
(c) to whom the applicant, or the applicant’s spouse, has 1 of the following relationships:<br>
(i) a parent;<br>
(ii) a child or adoptive child, or a step-child, who is not a dependent child of the sponsor;<br>
(iii) a brother or sister, an adoptive brother or sister or a step-brother or step-sister;<br>
(iv) an aunt or uncle, an adoptive aunt or uncle, or a step-aunt or step-uncle;<br>
(v) a nephew or niece, an adoptive nephew or niece or a step-nephew or step-niece;<br>
(vi) a grandchild or first cousin.s to a person (the sponsor) who has turned 18 and is an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen:<br>
because the sponsor can now be related either to the main applicant or the main applicant's spouse, the main applicant must be the member of the couple who meets the age, skill and work experience requirements.<br>
<br>
I trust that this information is of use to you.<br>
<br>
<br>
Kind regards, |
