Dear David,

Carla and I wanted to write to personally commend InterStaff International for the outstanding job done in successfully securing our family's ENS 856 visa for permanent residency.

From the day we first met at your offices where you took the time to provide a personal service so that we didn't feel like just another client or statistic. We immideiately had the impression that InterStaff, while clearly highly experienced in all immigration matters, were an ethical migration agency that would put every resource behind fighting our case on that basis.

Finally, please accept our gratitude of thanks and apprectiation for your thoroughness in going the extra mile for us. We would have no hesitation in recommending InterStaff International's migration and legal services to any future clients, and have infact already done so on several occassions.

Yours sincerely

Grant and Carla

The South Australian Government Financing Authority (SAFA) has announced that from the 31st October 2009 it will not accept any further applications from General Skilled Migration (GSM) applicants who wish to lodge a capital investment to gain 5 bonus points.

The capital investment scheme using SAFA was re-opened on 29th January 2009.

DIAC says it has contacted all applicants whose cases had been assessed and who indicated they intended to lodge a capital investment.

Any applications who have indicated they intend to lodge a capital investment, but have not yet done so, are advised to finalise their capital investment before the scheme is closed. No additional time will be given to applicants to make a capital investment.

This also applies to applicants who have appealed to the Migration Review Tribual (MRT) and to applicants seeking judicial review.
