WelcomeIf you are new to Poms In Oz and migrating to Australia or currently living in Australia feel free to say hi to all the other either in or moving to Oz.
yes the illusive visa does really exist - mind you haven't seen one myself but read the last week's gossip and news and you'll see the growing number of people who have got theirs just recently - it's like willy wonka's golden ticket but it's pink and orange seemingly and says something like able to reside in oz indefinitely - ooooooh that'll do for me!!!! PLEEEEEEEASE
HI thank you everyone,
cant wait to get the visa now i can be sure it exists, being self employed it is a difficult process gathering all the info, and having to get references off people i worked for years ago, they dont seem to want to go to the bother of writing letters for me, does anyone else have this problem.
This thread has got me thinking.....probably our visa won't be pink and orange, what with it being a temporary student visa. So, now I want to know: what the heck is our visa going to look like?
If anyone knows...please can you describe! Yeah ok, I know it's a bit sad, but it's the day dreaming that's getting me through at the minute.
Happy posting Kaz and Matt.
Cheers,
Rachel

if you've got an agent will they not give you a reference to give to your previous employers to sign? Some on here have said that's what they have done - agents will probably have a blank that they can adapt for your individual case - might be worth asking them and make it a bit easier. If not have a search because i know over the last few days i've read that somebody typed out their own reference to give to previous employers just to sign and they will probably agree to that as not as much work!!
thanks dave and donna, i will look into that, my agent never mentioned that, although they did say that i could type one up myself, then get them to copy it onto letterheaded paper, apparently it needs to be on letter headed paper.
Just wanted to welcome you to a wonderful friendly forum where we have all made lots of friends while on here, we are going out on a 457 visa and should hear this week if we have a sponsor then we can get visa application done and in woooooooooohooooooooo, you will love it on here and there is always someone to answer your questions :D

hello everyone,
we are new to this website we are karen and matthew just started to put together our skills assesment, matthew is a plasterer, any information would be gratefully received, we are using an agent, just wondering if anyone has actually seen a visa, i heard a rumour it looks just like the golden ticket willy wonka puts in choclate bars, is this true. matt and karen.
Hi Matt and Karen,
We got our visa on 28th November 2006. I would say it is more an orange colour than pink, says holder permitted to remain in australia indefinitely! Fantastic.
Sarah.
