Hello,

I am an unmarried 21 year old college student and I am currently looking to move abroad to Australia and have been since inquiring all the information needed before actually applying. Time isn't a huge factor as of right now so I can apply and wait for approval since of course will take some time. My questions are related to relatives of foreign countries. My family has history of Australian decent, which is my great great aunt who is yes, still alive. She herself is a native of Australia and her whole family still lives abroad, but he has been living in the USA for around 20 some years. I am not sure since I have yet to ask her, if she is a US citizen now or not. My main questions are:

1. Is she able to be my relative for family approval for moving abroad? I am not to familiar with all of what the processes are for moving abroad outside the forms and interviews required.

2. Am I going to have to have her current living relatives whom are still in Australia to provide information as well for further approval?

I myself have visited Australia several of times on month long stays and was originally seeking to finish my university studies abroad. I have however have now since met and have been dating an Australian citizen. Both being young in our eyes, we do not feel the need to marry at this point. I have been seeking all the information for immigrating to Australia and what could be my overall options. Having Australian relatives whom live in the US, I wasn't sure if that would be of any help for me for moving ABROAD. I know this post may seem a little confusing but I have no experience prior to this for migration and of whats required. I also have in the recent past have worked a job that also happens to appear on the CSL jobs shortages list for Australia and was not aware if that or my current job whose company also works in Australia would be of any help as well.

I hope I didn't sound to unintelligent for someone to answer my questions. If anyone wants to ask me questions I will gladly reply to them so they can further assist me with my search to migrate abroad. (Knowing Australia is one of the toughest places to migrate to, I just love the country and what it offers and am very happy in my current relationship. That to me is completely worth the wait and the money involved) Thanks again for any help. I hope to get some responses soon!

I am an Australian citizen married to a US Citizen and we went through the Australian immigration for my husband a few years ago, but now we are in the US doing the same for me.

First of all, you will want to have a good read of the Australian Immigration website here: http://www.immi.gov.au

Second of all, if your not intending to marry the Australian for some time then you will need to either find someone else to sponsor you who is in Australia and not living in another country. They have to be an Australian citizen or permanent resident of Australia. They also need to be related to you.

Or you could apply for a Student Visa, however you need proof of study.

Or you can be sponsored by an Employer in Australia, again you need proof.

What relatives exactly do you have in Australia? With that information I might be able to help more.

Thanks

Hey thanks for your information so far. It's my great great grandma who's the Australian native but she lives in the USA right now. Believe been I've thirty years here so I would immagine she probably became a citizen by now too. It would be her side of the family that still lives in Australia but weird enough I have never met them because she moved her years ago with her husband of the time. She probably won't be any help since she no longer lives there but was still curious of any easier steps. I would easily marry my girlfriend but she's the stubborn one who feels although she loves me is to afraid to marry at only 19.

I am aware of how expensive the country is but my situation goes as my girlfriend lives there and sadly never wants to live in the USA so I decided I would try I go there then since I loved it. I work for a large company that's worldwide I would jus have to talk to human resources about how they do international transfers since I know they do it. Just don't know all of the facts about how long you have I work there or what positions in the company can move abroad. So I need to contact them as well.

But or my relatives that live IN THE COUNTRY I unfortunately don't know any of them but my GG gma still keeps in contact with them. Hopefully you might have a little more info to share. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
