Hello Everyone,

I would like to emigrate to Australia from the U.K. My uncle who is an Australian Citizen has agreed to sponsor me. I looked at the 489 Visa but the most points I could achieve was 55 points - this was due to my age being 49.

Does anybody know of another way that my uncle can sponsor me.

Best wishes and thanks.

Your uncle could sponsor you for a family visiting visa - but this is for either 3, 6 or maximum of 12 months.
Have you got any other relatives left in the UK?
