    Hi All! Just a quick question. I submitted my mom's sponsored tourist visa application on the 10th of July online with almost all of the documents attached. Health exam's done and submitted as well. My mom checked her application yesterday and on the checklist it says "evidence of personal finances" recommended.

    If I am sponsoring my mom, should I attach my own evidence of finance or should my mom attach her bank statement. It's just confusing. I feel like my mom does not need to submit her bank statement coz I'm sponsoring her anyway. Any thought on this would be helpful. Thanks guys.

    its a standard requirement. an applicant needs to provide an evidence of financial capability. pwedeng bank statement mo ang iprovide since ikaw ung sponsor.

    Hello po, tanong ko lang po, kasama ko po kasi dad ko this coming November for my Sydney trip, could I lodge his visa in my IMMI account? Or does it have to be in a separate IMMI?

    yes, u can submit multiple applications for different applicants under your own immi account.
