Hello everyone,
My husband and I are planning to move out in 2015 (I am pregnant so we need to wait) and haven't started the visa process at all yet. We were going for the regional sponsored as we are both on the CSOL but not SOL list but I have some questions:
1. Employer nominated would be much easier - are there are any companies likely to sponsor an overseas applicant. I have seen jobs in my area (Company Secretary, ICSA qualified, 15 years experience) that seem to have been advertised for months so perhaps they are hard to fill? Or is it more realistic to go independently and job hunt when there - I score 80 on the points.
2. My husband doesn't plan to work the first year (he will be a stay at home father until we get settled), can I add him to my visa and how easy would it be for him to change once he is there and he decides to get a job?
3. Sponsored by family - we have second cousins (direct cousins of my husband's father??) - I guess they are too far removed to count?
Thanks for any replies,
Sarah
