If you are a Non Resident Indian (NRI) with a bank account in the country, it is advisable that you are aware of all the existing tax rules as far as NRIs are concerned.
Apply for an f-1 visa interview and pay your visa fee and also your semis fee and then take all your documents to the interview. Make sure you already have admission into a school and I-20 also.- noddy4real
Firstly i suggest you you do IELTS than get visa- Harpreet Singh
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).

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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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.
