because unlike the united states, they listen to their citizens, they dont just let anyone in just because they think they have a right to work there or get special treatment like they do in the states !! australia has the balls that the united states dont have !!!

Good question.  I am English and I live in Australia, and have done since emigrating three years ago.  They are on about a similar system here in Australia, min requirements is to know what it means to live here, the values, cultures etc.  I think this is good, I have embraced the culture here and become a citizen, two years min and a joining fee.  In the UK, it would be too little too late I fear, the damage to UK has already been done, partly my reason for leaving.  I am not against different cultures, I am against those people that refuse to contribute to society and bludge off the government.   A lot of immigrants do work, so you must respect that fact.\nAs a minimum, I think you should be able to speak English. \n\nPS The Ozzies are sweating over the Ashes!!! COME ON ENGLAND!

Short answer... yes.\n\nLong answer... The government really needs to look at having the "right type" of immigrants permitted entry. Back home in Australia, the government has a restriction on immigration. You have to prove that you have the funds and/or job to support yourself and won't be sponging off the government and taxpayers. Over here, it just seems that they'll let anybody in and then give them a house and benefits too. And just from what I've seen, a British person has to first prove they don't need any help before they get some. I'm not surprised British people are leaving the country in large numbers.... they seem to be becoming a minority in their own country.

I'm not sure if you've had a chance to look very closely at Australia's Immigration Department website, but there is a skilled migrant program you might want to have a look at.

I know that in australia, ethnic groups usually have associations and groups specifically to cater to their community. He could try finding them on the net. Like "Arabs in Australia" or some such. I'm afraid i don't really have any ideas other than that. If he knows any arabs currently living in Australia or Europe, then he should get in contact with them because that would be the easiest. Other than that i really don't know what he could do.

There actually are two separate quota systems in place. The first quota system limits the number of people who can apply in each immigration category, regardless of their country of birth. The second quota limits the number of people who can immigrate from any one country (this goes by the place you were born, not your nationality!). This per-country quota says that no country can send more than 7% of the total worldwide immigration (this translates to 25,620). Unfortunately, this system puts large countries at a disadvantage; the quota is the same for India and China with a billion people each as for Nauru, with approximately 10,000 people

Well it would help to know about your citizenship status and what country you are currently residing in. \nBut looking into the immigration laws and regulations of australia can help.

If you are considering the possibility of immigrating. Well it use to be very difficult to do so unless you have a profession that is needed in Sydney. Like a Doctor or Law

the refusal to assimilate; why should we bend over backwards to accommodate foreigners? no other country does that---and the whole illegal entry factor; it's not hard to get into this country, all we ask is that you pay your money and go through the established procedures; sure that could take a while but SO WHAT! lots of people have done that for a long time and effectively earned the right to live and work here. unfortunately i have had experiences like this and it really toasts my waffle! why should citizens of this great nation have to be subjected to such frustration! i don't remember reading that amendment in the Constitution...

I do not know the laws in Australia but I don't believe they differ to much from the US. In the US you still qualify as a bigot.

The Immigration and Naturalization Act of United States (INA) section 212(b) states that a visa applicant must prove that he/she does not intend to become a potential immigrant.\n\nIn other words the burden of proof lays on you, as opposed to criminal law where a defendant is assumed Innocent until proven guilty, in the case of peopele requesting non-immigrant visas, the applicant is assumed an immigrant until he/she prooves otherwise.\n\nNormally, people proove this by showing that they have ties to their country that require them to come back (this constitutes in family, job, properties or business one may own). 90% of visas are rejected for this reason.\n\nWhile not impossible, in the case of poorer countries such as Ghana, this can be quite difficult to proove.\n\nThis section ,however, only applies to people requesting non -immigrant visa (tourist, study etc...).

It is a difficult question, but many of them could probably qualify for resident alien status, if not outright citizenship.  The fact is that their parents put them in this unfair situation by bringing them here illegally.  Perhaps there should be an easier way to enter the country legally, but if you enter as a criminal, you should be treated as a criminal.

You have my sympathy, you can appeal the refusal, but bear in mind that there is alot of negative press at the moment due to the goverments under estimation of immigrants they would allow. Go talk to the CAB, they will be able to point you in the right direction.\nJo
