Up to 5000 international students and skilled workers who sold their homes and borrowed large sums of money to become Australian residents have been left stranded after a change in government policy.

Hi Alan

We have recently found out that our visa has been delayed due to a decision on the bonds scheme. We have been told that there are 2000 people, like us, waiting in limbo, who applied before sept 07. Have you any further information on this?

Many thanks.

Nothing official, I'm afraid.

There are rumours that the required 5 points will be granted automatically to all who have claimed the bonus points for making the capital investment ... but as I say this is only a rumour - please don't hold me to it.

Best regards.
