Hey Alexander,
Important Information for anyone immigrating to Australia

Hello everyone!

This info has been compiled from input by people who have previously immigrated to Australia, and maybe of help to you.

Here are a few websites that will help you better understand what is
facing you and what you really need to know.

The first one is going to be VERY important to you, as they are the
ones who have the "rulebook" you are going to have to follow.

Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs
(DIMIA)
Info on moving to Australia, studying in Australia, visiting
Australia, and lots more!
<http://www.immi.gov.au/index.htm>

this next one is for the Embassy of Australia, Washington D.C. It
will also prove to be an important website to study for those of you
who are applying for your Visas while residing in the U.S.

Embassy/Consulate of Australia (Google for the url in your country)
While Visa requirements are the same at all overseas missions,
procedures may vary from post to post.

This next site will help you better understand the timeframes
involved in getting your Visa approved.

Austimeline
This is a site for people who have applied for Australian
immigration visas. It allows users to record some details about
their application and important dates in the process. This way
everyone can form better expectations of what the waiting time is.
