Dear REETA MITTAL

I refer to the application by RAM BAHADUR BHANDARY for a Skilled - Independent (VB
885) visa lodged on 19 December 2012 with the department.

I am pleased to advise that on 13 November 2013 a decision was taken to grant this
visa.

This letter contains important information about this visa.

VISA GRANT NUMBER

The visa grant number is 8059585322936. This is the unique number assigned to the
visa. Visa holders should keep this visa grant number with them, as they may have
to provide it to the Department during the life of the visa.

NO VISA LABEL REQUIRED

The Australian Government does not require you to have a visa label placed into
your passport for travel to Australia. The visa is linked to the passport number
listed in the table above. If you obtain a new passport you must advise the
department. More information on label free travel and visa entitlements
verification is available at

VISA VALIDITY

This visa allows the visa holder to enter and leave Australia as many times as they
like until the visa expiry date.

LEAVING AND RETURNING TO AUSTRALIA

If the visa holder wants to travel overseas and return to Australia after the visa
expiry date, and they are not an Australian citizen, they will need to have a
current Resident Return Visa (RRV). It is their responsibility to obtain a RRV.
Applicants must meet specific criteria for grant of a RRV. The criteria are
designed to ensure that only permanent residents who have shown a genuine
commitment to Australia by either residing in Australia or otherwise making a sound
contribution to Australia may be eligible for a RRV. More information on RRVs can
be found at www.immi.gov.au.
INCORRECT INFORMATION

The visa holder must advise the department if at any time they find that any
information previously given to the department is incorrect or incomplete.

WORKING IN AUSTRALIA

This visa entitles the visa holder to work in Australia. However, the grant of
this visa provides no guarantee of employment in Australia, nor does acceptance of
qualifications for migration purposes. Employment opportunities in some
occupations are limited. Registration and licensing requirements for particular
occupations vary between states and territories and may be amended from time to
time.

CENTRELINK PAYMENTS

The visa holder should be reminded of the importance of making adequate financial
arrangements as support while looking for work.

The visa holder must wait two (2) years before they can receive most Centrelink
income support payments. Centrelink is the government organisation that makes
social security payments. "Income support" is government welfare assistance that
is enough to live on. The payments with a waiting period include unemployment and
sickness benefits, income support payments for students and a number of other
payments.

Special Benefit is the only form of government welfare assistance which might be
payable to people during the two (2) year waiting period. However, Special Benefit
is only available to new migrants on a very restricted basis - that is, if there
has been a substantial change in circumstances beyond the person's control.
Inability to find employment or running out of money are not sufficient reasons to
qualify for Special Benefit.

Information on the waiting period is included in Form 994i - Settlement information

for migrants to Australia can be downloaded from
www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/994i.pdf. Further information is available on the
Internet at the following sites:

such as health and education. I would be grateful if the visa holder could complete

CHECKING THE VISA DETAILS

The department has a service called Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO)
which allows certain third parties to check visa information with a visa holder's
consent.

Through VEVO, visa holders can give their consent to registered third parties such
as:

· employers and labour suppliers, to help check whether your visa allows them to
work in Australia;
· government agencies, to help assess their eligibility for services;
· licensing authorities, to help establish their eligibility for a licence; and
· educational institutions, to assess whether they can study in Australia.

The disclosure of visa information by the department is governed by the Privacy Act
1988. Therefore, the department will disclose information about a visa to a third
party only with the consent of the visa holder. Visa holders can consent to an
inquiry about their visa entitlements by giving the third party their name, date of
birth, passport number and passport country of issue. If the visa holder does not
wish a third party to find out about their visa entitlements, they should not give
them this information.

The information form 993i "Safeguarding your personal information", available from
Immigration offices, gives details of third parties to which visa holders can
consent to their personal information being disclosed, and how they can consent.

AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP

Information about Australian citizenship is available from:

- any DIAC office

- the Australian Citizenship website at: www.citizenship.gov.au
- the Australian Citizenship Information Line -131 880

Please convey to the visa holder my best wishes for a successful settlement in
Australia.

Yours sincerely

Department of Immigration and Citizenship
