Just saying Hi!

[OzDreamSeekers]

Hi everyone.

Just a quick hello to introduce ourselves.

We are Adam(37), Michelle(35), Jordan(9) and Emily(6). Currently live (exist) on South Coast UK.

Both of us are professional people (Accountant *YAWN* and Banker)

We are just starting out skilled independent VISA application process - obtaining a decent Migration Agent and getting the skills assessment done.

**Help with Migration Agents Welcomed** Looked at Thinking Australia, but unsure....

We are looking to move to Brisbane/Gold Coast area. Aiming at around Early Summer 2010.

Any tips gratefully accepted, but we will advise and keep posting as we progress.

Take care for now.
Us.

Hi, welcome and good luck with your plans, i have had alot of advice about thinking australia on here, most of it not too good, do you really need to get a migration agent if you are applying for PR visa ? I know a few people who just done it all themselves. We have to go with 457 visa and once i started looking at the forms i realised i could do it myself. The advice i have been given is to keep your money in your pocket and it's probably right. You should take a look at the thread called Thinking Australia, it is'nt in their favour at all, it has put me off, and I was very nearly signing up with them. You are one of the lucky ones who can get PR so you shouldn't have much hassle. My advice would be to search the internet for any piece of advice or information you can get before you make any decisions. Good luck. Karen xx

Hey Karen

Thanks for that advice, we originally thought about doing it ourselves.....you just gave us the push we needed - I guess the money could be used elsewhere......and it doesnt seem like too much of a problem filling forms etc.

I am slowly building one hell of a pile of information, need a few days to sort it all now and clear my head a little.....but its all very exciting.

Cheers
Adam
