Hi all im currently one and half years into my 2 year required contract (RSMS 119 ) with my employer.Work seems to be drying up a bit and as im with a small company there could be job losses.If my boss was to cancel my contract due to shortage of work would my visa be cancelled ?

Go onto google and search ExpatShield,its a download that hides the I.P Address of you computer thus enabling you to watch bbc iplayer etc etc

Hi is your other half trade qualified? if not he has to do a trade assessment test.I am a joiner and we were facing a 3 year wait for our subclass 176 to get processed so decided to look for a job sponsor visa subclass 119.This also gives you permanent residency as long as you stay with the employer for 2 years,after such time you can pretty much do as you please.We fell very lucky and i got offered a job here in Margaret River WA and our visa was granted a year after we applied.I looked on job sites ie Seek.BEJobmail.plus check local online newspapers if you have somewhere in mind you want to move to.

Hi My family and i are currently living in Margaret River WA (Originally from Scotland)but are looking to move to North Lakes in October.I am a joiner but i cant seem to find any job vacancies anywhere ie seek,my career one etc.I also know a cabinetmaker from Brisbane and he says the area is going thru a tough spell just now economically.Can anyone give us any input into this ,also is there a local paper i can look at online for jobs.Any help would be grateful.

Hi, we have been in Australia for 8 months now and all is going well, hubby has a good job and enjoys his work. We were however thinking of setting up a small online business selling crafts etc. Are we allowed to do this under the conditions of our 119 visa? It could be in either or both names if there are any differences in constraints placed on myself and my oh Thanks in advance

Ive got a Uk tax credit overpayment to pay back. Ive no longer a uk bank account and my oz account wants $25 for each overseas transaction. is there a cheaper way to do this, will hmrc accept payment from my debit card? Does anyone ave experience

no it was perth, flights booked for the 14th

:shocked: Weve got it .... email at 9.58 this morning saying we are now permenant residents of Australia !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:chatterbox:

:sad: thats awful rangerider, i hope your employer can get things sorted, i dont really understand how they can refuse after the rcb have already approved it, i thought that was the difference between ens and rsms that the rcb got a say

we were asked for form 80's and a form 1229 (consent to grant an australian visa to an under 18). It could be anything as i dont think they check your uploaded documents until the co is appointed, is your case straightforward?

fantastic, thats certainly good news x

Just more info about the post, local advertising etc,we thought that would all have been taken care of when the RCB ok'd the post

Our employers have been asked for more information on the position? They are planning to hire an agent to finalise things, i think they are scared its all going to fall through after all the effort put in. Hopefully the end is in sight. Anything happening for you?

rain now, but atleast all the snow and ice has cleared .

I really feel for you rangerider , its an awful way to live life in limbo. We emailed case officer last night to ask for a current time frame and she told us she couldnt do that as our nomination hadnt been approved yet. id have thought that would be done before requesting for 80's from us

we have a case officer :chatterbox: Email this morning requesting form 80's for us and a form 1229 for Brians son. merry xmas

Communication from Perth office today saying they are now allocating applications up to the first week of July. surely it cant be long now

Just a quick non update from us, its been 12 weeks since diac recieved our employers application and weve heard nothing. :arghh:

hey java we were told that frontloading the application with police checks and medicals and submitting along with the nomination will speed things up. no evidence of that yet though

Congratulations :biggrin:

Hi all.I spoke to our employer in Margaret River today and he informed me he spoke to diac on tues about processing timescale.They have told him it will be 5 months although they have given him the direct number to perth office so he can call them and try and get app fast tracked.

wonderful :biglaugh:

Nothing happening here:no:
