亲爱的妈妈，

您好吗？我和xx到澳洲已经学习和工作xx了，我们非常喜欢这里的生活。墨尔本是个非常美丽的城市，生活宁静，环境优美。我们经常在周末休息的时候去附近众多的公园和海滩玩，我特别喜欢去海边游泳，xx喜欢去打球。

目前我们都在墨尔本公司工作。我们都很喜欢我们现在的工作，而且还认识了很多朋友。去年底，我们刚买了房子，都很高兴呢。不足之处是我们工作比较忙，工作之余还要准备考试，有时连做饭的时间也没有。呵呵，这个时候我们常常会想起妈妈做的香喷喷的饭菜。

妈妈，我们很想您，您也一定很想念我们吧。其实我们也想念爸爸，不过你们总说家里需要有人看着，还要照顾小狗，不能放下心两人一起来澳洲。

我在xx大学学习的xx课程已经结束，今年x月初就要举行毕业典礼了，我好希望您能出席我的毕业典礼。而且，今年xx月也是我的xx岁生日，我希望能和伟大的妈妈一起度过这个重要的时刻。所以我们希望您能够先来澳洲看看我们，和我们待上一年, 以缓解我们思念之情。您来旅行和住宿的一切费用，我们都已经完全准备好了，相信您一定会很喜欢这次澳洲之旅的。

之前我帮您申请的679签证因为墨尔本正在举行英联邦运动会而大大拖长了进度，这边的移民局官员建议您可以在中国申请676签证以加快进度，当时您为 679签证做的X光胸透视也可以继续使用。所以申请来探亲的一切材料希望您能尽快准备好，递交到澳大利亚驻广州总领事馆签证处就可以了。如果签证早日批下来，我们就可以尽早帮您订机票等事宜了。殷切希望我们能早日在澳洲见到您。

爱您的女儿

xx

3. Invitation Letter (english)

xx 2006



Dear Mum,

How are you? xxand I have been in Australia for over xx years. We are quite happy with our life in Australia. Melbourne is an amazing city, quiet and beautiful. We often go to the parks and beaches, on weekends. I like swimming and xx prefers to go to play tennis.

At present both of us are working. We bought our house last year and we feel so happy about that. We love our job and enjoy our friendship with many friends here. However, we are very busy with our work. After work, we have to prepare for the exams . Sometimes we even do not have time to prepare dinners. We often think of the delicious food made by you, mum!

We miss you, and we know that you miss us too. We also miss dad very much. However, both of you insist that one of you have to stay at home to look after the puppy. Hence, you both cannot come to Australia together.

My xx course at xx was finished. I am going to attend the graduation ceremony in earlyxx. Besides, my birthday is in this xxx. I want to celebrate this important moment with you, mum. You are the greatest mum of the world. We are so eager to see you. So we would like to invite you to visit us and stay with us for about one year to release us from homesickness. We are committed to all the expenditures (incl. air tickets, accommodation, travel and living expenses etc.) We are sure that you will have a great time in Australia.

I applied the 679 subclass visa for you in xx. However, due to the Commonwealth Game held in Melbourne, I was informed that the progress will be prolonged. So the Immigration advised that you can apply for the visa 676 in China directly to speed up the progress and the Chest X-ray you took for visa 679 on xx can be reused for visa 676. Hope you could prepare the materials for your visa 676 soon and post them to the Australian Consulate-General in Guangzhou. If you can get the visa earlier, we can start the air ticket booking right away. Look forward to meeting you in Australia soon.

Love

XXX

Dear Sir or Madam:

Re: Sponsored Family Visitor Visa 679 Application: Ms xx - Client ID: xxx

I am writing to inform you that I am withdrawing the application (Client ID: xx) for my mother’s (Ms xx) sponsored family visitor visa 679. Due to the heavy work load in your office right now, we decided to let my mother launch the application for the Tourist Visa 676 in China (Name: xx, Application file reference number xx, visa officer xx) so that we could make the travel arrangements as early as possible. Luckily, on xxx, my mother received the returned passport with visa attached. So I am writing in regard to the withdrawal of my previous application.
Should you have any question, I can be reached at mobile xx or work (03) xx.

We want to thank you very much for considering our application.

Yours faithfully,
XXX
