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.
Thought I would introduce myself, say hello and get any advice that may be offerd.
Having been reading all the other post for a while now and thought I would ask for your advice.
My OH and I have been talking about going to Aus on and off for the last year, and are set to start the process. I have picked agent as OH is brickie so Vetessa is needed, as he is over 43 he is thinking of sitting the English Exam to get an extra 5 points so we can go anywere and not tied to a state. Though from what I am reading Melbourne seems the place to go. Have a 14 year old that will start her GCSE next year so by the time we get visa and she finishes them in June 2010, we will have visa sorted and be set to go.
Also 9 year old will just have finished primary school, so good time for her to move. However OH will be 45 by then, but I assume that we just have to make sure that we apply for visa before he is 45, and not be in country by then.
So assuming we get visa and pass meds can anyone see any gapping holes in my plans.
Gratefull for any advice
HI,
I know so many people in the same boat as you and there is an agent that there all using called Richard coates he is irish and has made the move to Australia himself, His company is Celtic Migration services and he has helped lots of people in your situation at your age find work and he is registered migration agent he does the visas as well he is really good, very reliable.
you should contact him for your visa... ph: =61 8 8396 6815 or email him on richard@globaltradesearch.com.au he is a nice fellow who works really hard for his client but also goes that extra mile to help you out he has even done relocation for his clients before you know welcomed them in and tried to help them as much as possible.. terribly nice fellow.
Has anyone ever just gone over and found a job and got sponserd? I would imagine bricklaying isn't really the type of work that attracts many sponsers, but am I wrong?

Hi Shayla
Bricklayers do get sponsored in Oz. Yes it is hard to find a sponsor but not impossible as OH is a bricklayer & on a sponsor here.
Thought I would introduce myself, say hello and get any advice that may be offerd.

Your plan sounds spot on and as already been said as long as the visa is lodged before hubby is 45 then there should be no problems.
Hi Susan and family
Welcome to p.i.o no idea how the visa processes work, but if you do a google search on house builders and give a few a call from each state, they should be able to tell you about how much work is out and about in each state. Never know you may get a job offer or two? Good move about Victoria best state in Australia.

if you are a bricklayer i would really try for PR rather than sponsership ,there is a lot less ties and more perks when you arrive.Many a good agent will give free telephone advice to you ,Go Matilda and Visa Bureau are 2 popular agents on here who always seem to get goodfeedback ,good luck with everything
