担保人的话,需要是settled PR or citizen, booklet 3里面是这么说的:
Settled and usually resident
To be eligible to sponsor you, your sponsor must be able to show that they are settled
and, that they are usually resident in Australia.
Settled means that your Australian citizen, Australian permanent residents or eligible
New Zealand citizen sponsor must have been lawfully resident in Australia for a
reasonable period. Under policy, 2 years is generally considered to be a reasonable
period. There may be exceptions, however, and the facts of each case are considered on
an individual basis by the officer of the department who is making the decision,
particularly if there have been periods of lawful temporary residence that can
appropriately be counted towards the settled requirement.
A shorter period of lawful residence may be considered for Australian citizens for settled
purposes if there are compassionate and compelling circumstances. As a matter of
policy, the eligibility period for Australian citizen sponsors in such circumstances is at
least 3 months’ residence.
Being usually resident in Australia is a mandatory requirement for sponsors who are
Australian permanent residents. In addition, it is also a requirement for all sponsors for
the purposes of the Balance of Family (BoF) test (see page 24). The BoF test requires
that, to be counted positively, your children must be usually resident in Australia. Under
policy, the usually resident requirement provides a test of the sponsor's commitment to
Australia and their capacity to support you. Absence from Australia does not
automatically mean it is not your sponsor’s usual residence. However, whether or not a
person is legally usually resident in a particular country depends on the individual
circumstances and can only be determined by the officer of the department making the
decision. |
