Hi all,
Thanks for replies (i knew this site seemed friendly) can't wait to get out there and come to one of the meets that are advertised on here. Last week my boyfriend completed an on-line assessment with an agency, which we were told we had passed. Not sure how much weight that carries though? The agent called him today and seemed very helpful. She was saying that we can go down our own route and do it independently or else go through the agency, which of course is twice the price. This is confusing! Does everyone remember starting the process and feeling like this? Need to get organised! My boyfriend is a Photocopier engineer and I am a Salon Manager/Beautician. The agent has said that to qualify for a Visa for permanent residency we have to get 120 points apparently we have 115, but once again i'm not sure if that is a case of people telling us what we want to hear. How do most people go about making the move, independently or through an agent? Also is it quite common for people to be refused the Visa to allow you to live anywhere in Australia for an indefinite amount of time? We are 25 & 31, both healthy (ish, lol), without criminal records and in good jobs, we are also financially stable, do you think this sounds like we have got a good chance.
Long message, i know!!
To all you lucky folks that are already there, it is bloody freezing here!!
My boyfriend would also like to know if this emoticon is trying to be dirty? lol.
Thanks Guys.
