The Long Road Ahead

[andybel]

Hi Everyone
Another pair of newbies to the site and although still having some doubts about how far away Oz is, how much better family life wil be if we ever get there !
Went to the Emigrat Show at Sandown Race Course Surrey a few weeks ago and was disappointed with the whole thing really - just a sales forum for agent to flog there services and you still dont know if they are any good and worth the money?
Can anyone recommend a reliable, thorough agent for us to use. My Hubby runs his own water treatment company which is quite a specialised industry over here and I would assume over there as well - so we need to make sure we can provide TRA with all the correct info. Sorry going on abit but just looking through all the forms & info makes your head spin PLEASE tell us it'll be worth it in the end !!!
Thanks for listening to me - dont know anyone personally whose going through the same things so it's over to you guys !

Hi guys,

Mark and I have been here in Brisbane for 2 years and we are loving it. the forms were a nightmare for us! too many bits of papers, a thousand copies of every certifiacte you have ever owned and paying out loads of money! Can I recommend Go Matilda as agents. My parents are using them as they have recently applied for a contributory parent visa (143) to come out here and join me. If you want to contact my Mum I can give you her email address. Just PM/Email me and I`ll do that.
Good luck, have fun with it all, be prepared for a long wait BUT

It is so worth it in the end.

It may be worth you shopping around for a few quotes, and seeing who you feel comfortable with.
