I dont think they will be skill shortage .She is a Facillities manager he is a black cab driver/plasterer. How much money do you need to buy(invest your way in) I thought i would ask you guys as i am soooooo busy with last stuff before we move I havn't go time to trail sites etc.................thanks

From filling in the EOI (Assuming you added them as your family member) any sponsored family get extra points for their own EOI if they go via the skilled migrant stream.

The other stream is the family stream details of which are here:

The parts your interested in are your requirements:
