Hi, Looking for some help. I have decided to move back to the UK and just wondering what's the best way to transfer money back. The fees and exchange rates appear to be wildly different, plus the issue of security comes to mind. Thanks in advance

Some Advice required Strongly Thinking of Selling Up in Sydney and moving to Melbourne, for the following reasons, 1. Firstly I like Melbourne and always felt more at home there, only been in Sydney 5 years and kids are only 7&8, so no real ties 2. Secondly, if I do move to Melbourne I can reduce my Debt down to virtually zero, with the equity from my Sydney home. I am now 45 and by staying in Sydney will mean that I will have a mortgage into my 60's 3. With a reduced debt burden, I believe that my mindset or peace of mind will improve and that my lifestyle as well. Given all the above I and my wife think that this move is a no brainer, however I have one issue and that is work, I have a good job in Sydney (which I hate, so leaving is not an issue), but finding work in Melbourne without living there is no so easy as I feel that recruiters etc. are not taking you seriously with a Sydney address. So the question is 1. Should I move, resign from my post and take a chance? 2. Should I move and commute from Melbourne to Sydney until I have a Melbourne job 3. Should I wait till I have a job in Melbourne, which I do not want to do I'd be interested to know peoples views and if anyone has been in this position, Thanks

I am asking this question on behalf of my sister in law, who wants to come to Australia but is retarded when it comes to document completion. She recently submitted her EOI and forgot to get an English language test or indeed family sponsorship completed. The question is can she forward the appropriate documents after her initaial EOI has been refused? Thanks you for you help in advance. Tommy

Hi, Since its been a few years since I applied for my own visa, I am not as sure about the current visa process and would like some help. Looking at the immigration website I am getting very confused. Basically my sister in law in applying for a skilled visa, 175 / 176, she is a lawyer (yes just what australia needs, another lawyer, I know!!!!), but a nice girl. Basically, myself and my wife are happy to sponsor her but i am unsure how it works now, so your assistance would be appreciated. Q. The 176 sponsored visa still appears to be in opertaion and some websites and not on others? What is the reality? Q. If the answer in no to the above, what is the new process? and how long? Q. THe the 176 is still in operation great, as I understand it, but can anyone tell me how long a sponsored visa now takes? Thanks you assistance will save my sister in law a lot time. TT
