My God What A Turn Around
Hi All,
We have had 2 bits of good news today. First one is after Australian Migration Bureau told us yesterday we would not be able to get to Australia on any visa. I today spoken to a nice lady at Thinking Australia. She said we can get there on a Employer Sponsered Visa. And whats more as we are already going to OZ for looksy next March we could maybe get some intererviews in too (much to husbands disgust). This basically means we could actually be living in Oz by Xmas next year as apparently employers are crying out for people and it can take a matter of just 3 months to get visa of this sort!!!!
Has anyone else used Thinking Australia. What did you think?
Second good news is I passed my 2nd Teaching Assistant Exam today with flying colours. Go me.

OOOOOO! Well done you! Told you not to give up hope! Always get a 2nd and 3rd opinion!
And well done with passing the exam! You clever thing.
We met with Darryl from Thining Australia and although he's got plenty of front and I reckon could get on peoples nerves! we found him fine. As we were pathway d people we nearly signed up with them but decided in the end to get Dan's skills assessed for an Australian trade certificate. Loads of dough but I think the right decision for us.
But good for you. Did you decide not to go with the ptlabs guy? Is there no way you can still go for the permanent skilled visa with your hubby's experience?

Hi Kate,
No we just got the phone call tonight from Thinking Australia, I contacted them last night during my nightmare day.
They said because he doesnt have 8 years I.T. experience or the qualifications our best bet is the sponsered visa route. Have to admit havent even looked into this type of visa, had heart set on the independant skilled visa, so dont know too much about this one.!!!

Well you mission day paid off! I think the sponsored route is brilliant just provided you can get a sponsor! But if you are going out there then face to face interviews must work better.
I'm pleased for you!
Kate
