Hi Jazza, What Will You Qualify As?

It Would Be A Good Idea To Look At The Points Test On The Dima Web Site To Make Sure You Are Eligable. If You Fit The Criteria On Their Web Site Yout Not Likely To Be Refused.

I Am Going On A 136 Skilled Independent Visa And Have Not Used An Agent. Hence I Have Saved A Few Quid And It Wasn't That Hard. If You Use An Agent You Still Have To Do All Of The Leg Work Yourself. They Just Tell You Waht To Do And How To Do It. It Can Be A Bit Daunting A T First But With A Bit Of Study It Isn't That Hard. I'm Sure You'll Get Plenty Of Help On This Web Site. We Went On Holiday First For A Month And I'm We Did Because It's One Hell Of A Culture Shock. We Did Lots Of Research Whilst Out There. We Looked At The South And North Suburbs Of Western Aus. I Think For Me Personally I Would Have Ended Up Wanting To Come Home If I Hadn't Visited First. I Came Home After The Holiday And Had A Good Long Think. I Didn't Fall In Love With The Country. At Least Now I Am Not Going Out There With Rose Tinted Glasses On And I Have An Insight Into The Good And The Bad Side Of Australia And It Does Have It's Down Side.

I Love This Country And It's Beautiful Countryside. I Love My House, My Job And My Life But My Son's Health Was Abundantly Better In Oz. As Much As I Love This Counrty I Don't Love The Rainy,unpredictable ,depressing Summers And The Long Dark Cold Depressing Winters. I Know I Will Miss Lots About This Country And Think I Will Need A Good 2-3 Yrs To Adjust.. Anyway I'm Rambling Now.

Good Luck To You!
