      I agree, slow down, it's going to take at least 6 - 12 months for you to get your visa. Your first task is to decide which visa you're going to apply for. Have you got a skilled occupation? You need to look on the DIMIA web site at the MODL list to see if your occupation is listed. Have you done one of the free points assessments to see if you have enough points? This would be you're starting point.

      [COLOR="SeaGreen"]Don't panic! Get down to your local library and get some books on 'Getting Down Under'. If you are libaphobic then do a search on Amazon for books on Oz immigration. It seems that' migration experts[' are only interested if you are good to go!

      It will be fine

      And deep breath's!!!!!

      Like Dan says, chill and enjoy the ride (it's the only way you'll make it through alive!)

      What agents have you spoken to? We are using Visa Bureau and they have been great from the very first contact.

      Do you have any idea what type of visa you are going to apply for? try looking at some of the agents websites that will explain a bit about them. You can also try taking a points test. this will then give you a bit more info to talk to the agent about.

      CO - Case officer
      TRA - Trade recognition authority
      Meds - medicals for visa
      PC's - police checks

      Anymore you need to know then just ask and someone will be able to tell you.

      Lou
