Farah wants Sunita Williams to watch 'Joker' - in space!

By Indo Asian News Service | IANS India Private Limited – Tue 31 Jul, 2012

Mumbai, July 27 (IANS) Filmmaker Farah Khan is going out of her way, literally, to promote her home production "Joker" in a unique way. She wants to make it possible for Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams to watch the movie, based on aliens, while in space.

The "Joker" team seems too ambitious about it.

"We are trying to (show the movie to Williams), but I don't think we are going to get permission. There are lot of red tapes involved in that. UTV has been trying to get it up because the movie is about UFOs and space," Farah said here.

"They wanted it to be up there, but I think one has to take permission a year in advance. So the process is on," she added.

According to Farah, whose husband Shirish Kunder has directed the Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha-starrer, the team is in talks with officials of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to see if it can be made possible for Williams to watch the film.

Williams is currently on her second space odyssey to the International Space Station.

A T20 match both teams fiercely fought to lose
New Delhi, May 23 -- Fixing is so rife in the domestic T20 league that players on opposing sides in one match were on different bookies' payrolls, a high-level police source said on Wednesday. This led to a situation that would have been funny if it hadn't been so scandalous: batsmen on each side had cut deals with bookies to lose the game. The side batting first notched up a meagre total that it fully expected would ensure defeat. But the team batting second outdid their rivals by makingeven

Sponsorship From Uncle in Australia?- Blogger in Immigration2 Answers
- You are confusing the visas. Sponsorship requires the sponsor, who does not need to be related to you, to live in a designated area (not in Sydney, Brisbane etc) and you need to be qualified and experienced in the profession of chef. That is, you need to have either completed a four year apprenticeship or completed a several year degree at a recognised culinary school. You also need several years experience after this. Unless you have this there is no way he can sponsor you. An uncle (which he is not) cannot sponsor you for a family visa. Only your parents, children or siblings can and then they take 14 years in which you are restricted on who you have a relationship with during those 14 years.- Katty
- Your 'uncle' is not really related to you so he is not eligible to sponsor you for any Family Stream visa. He can only sponsor you for an employer sponsored skilled work visa if you have acceptable qualifications in an occupation on the CSOL and if he can provide solid evidence that he needs a worker with your qualifications to work in that occupation 9and there are a number of other conditions he must meet). http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/sol-schedule1-2.pdf The CSOL http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/ Work visas - 457, 186 and 187 are employer sponsored It is impossible for him to 'send' you a tourist visa. If you want to visit Australia YOU must apply for a subclass 600 Visitor visa and if you are unemployed and don't have very strong ties to your home country to provide a strong incentive to leave Australia when your visa expires, you have little chance of getting one. http://www.immi.gov.au/visas/visitor/600/ Subclass 600 Visitor visa Even if you can manage to get a Visitor visa, there is a high likelihood that it will have a No Further Stay condition 8503 attached which will prevent you applying for any further visa while you are in Australia. Even if you don't get an 8503 and can apply for a visa while in Australia or if you apply after you leave, you (and the sponsoring employer) MUST meet all of the conditions attached to the employer sponsored visa in question and that will be impossible to do if you don't have qualifications in an appropriate and eligible occupation.- Ozmaniac

will I get an australian citizenship.?- Shravan Gidwani in Immigration2 Answers
- We do not have chain migration here, where one member of a family gets citizenship and then brings everyone else in. We do not have that. The only family related visas are the last remaining relative visa which takes at present 14 years to process. you jst have no other siblings or parents living out of australia. Most importantly during the waiting time you must not get married or have a relationship with anyone who has relatives outside of Australia. Once you do your visa chances are eliminated.- Katty
- Probably not, but here are the requirements. You can only apply for Australian citizenship after you have lived in Australia on a valid visa for at least 4 years including at least one year as a Permanent Resident (i.e. on a permanent visa) – getting the permanent visa is the hard part of the process. http://www.citizenship.gov.au/applying/how_to_apply/conferral_app_process/ Application process for Australian citizenship There are 4 ways to get a permanent visa: Your sister MAY be able to sponsor you but Australia doesn't have 'chain' migration and it is very difficult to sponsor relatives. There are only two family sponsored immigration visas. 1. If you have qualifications in an occupation on the Schedule 1 Skilled Occupation List (SOL) AND if you can get a positive skills assessment AND if you can score at least 60 points on the points test AND if your sister doesn't live in Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong or Brisbane AND if you are very patient (only 4200 family sponsored skilled visas are available each year and demand greatly exceeds the number of available visas), she may be able to sponsor you for a Skilled - Nominated or Sponsored (Provisional) (subclass 489) visa. This is a provisional visa and can only lead to PR after you meet certain strict residence and work requirements for at least 2 years. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/sol-schedule1.pdf Schedule 1 SOL http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/pdf/points-tested-migration-fact-sheet.pdf The points test http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/ Skills assessment http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/index/visas/subclass-489/ 489 visa 2.. If neither you nor your partner (if you have one) has any other siblings or parents (step or natural) who are not permanently resident in Australia, your sister may be able to sponsor you for a subclass 115 Remaining Relative visa. The processing time for a 115 is currently at least 14 years. http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/family/115/ Remaining Relative visa http://www.immi.gov.au/migrants/family/other-family-visa-queue.htm Other Family visa queue Otherwise: 3. You can apply for a Partner visa on the basis of a genuine and continuing relationship with an Australian citizen or PR. After two years on a temporary Partner visa, you will be granted a permanent Partner visa if the relationship is still intact. 4. You can qualify for a skilled immigration visa. For all but one of Australia's skilled immigration visas, you must have qualifications in an occupation on the CSOL and you must either pass the points test (only the occupations most in demand are eligible for a points tested visa) or have sponsorship by an eligible employer. The single exception to needing a CSOL occupation is a subclass 187 RSMS visa which has no specific list of occupations but you must have qualifications in an occupation requiring a degree, tertiary diploma or trade qualifications and sponsorship in that occupation by an eligible employer in a regional area (NOT Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, Brisbane, the Gold Coast or Melbourne). No visas are available for unskilled or partly skilled workers or even for skilled workers whose skills are not in demand. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/sol-schedule1-2.pdf The CSOL http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/ Skilled work visas- Ozmaniac
