Exactly what I said to my husband last night! We too are just starting on the very long and winding road and this could possibly be a problem. We will be going on my husbands skilled visa and though he is very experienced in his job which entails, science, technical drawing etc. his strong point is not english.

We had a look at the IELTS website for some examples and it did not help. It seems very unfair that his trade is in demand in Oz and we are born and bred English citizens but for the sake of 5 points we may not get to live our dream!

Anyone any ideas around this I would love to hear from them.
