Family Visa

Hello everyone,
Hope you are faring well in the summer heat. I had a question in mind, for quite some time now.
After finishing university(Education City, if you are curious) I intend to work here, and preferably would want to bring along my family(my parents that is). Could anyone shed light on the visa procedure and is there any salary cap on this. Looking forward to your response.
Thank you.

You need a job first and then ...You need a job first and then job will need to pay you a high salary to bring your parents. As a fresh grad I doubt you will earn the requisite salary for Q Immigration to grant such visas. Plus your nationality counts against you.

Anyways, since you speak of a requisite salary, how much would that be? Again, thanks for the timely response.

From what I understand, the ...From what I understand, the figure required for procuring a family visa settles at around 13,000-15,000(including housing),after which you need the services of a crafty PRO to finalize the application; on most occasions, this- even a lower figure, say 80000- would suffice, however there is the probability that the application might be rejected, for reasons better understood by the concerned officials. I understand the mechanics now. As for the salary cap, I hope I should be able to qualify since most of our graduates-at least the good ones- land jobs within the 13-16k range. Again, thank you all.
