  1. I am an Aussie citizen currently living with my partner back in UK we want to come over to Australia asap as my 15 year old son is still there with his Dad and access is a problem. Is it possible for him to come over on a tourist visa and we apply for a defacto visa there, we realise he wouldnt be able to work but would he then when his holiday visa runs out be able to have a bridging visa until the partner visa comes through? Look forward to your responses
  2. We lived in Castle Hill, Sydney up until June this year when we moved to North Lakes and we love it, you can easily get a 4 bed for around $400 a week in North Lakes schools are great, family orientated atmosphere, 12 mins drive to Petrie station, free parking then 37mins into the CBD if you need to commute and only 10 mins to Redcliffe, Scarborough etc, less than an hour upto Sunshine Coast very happy here
  3. We came out on a 457 in April 2010 to Sydney and loved it but OH employers work load seemed to be falling away so he looked around for another job and someone willing to take on his 457 which we did in June 2011 and moved to Brisbane the transfer of 457 took days and new employer agreed to sponsor us for PR too so that os all good. I have known people who have lost their jobs on 457's but if you act quickly and speak to DIAC they help and you dont get thrown out in 28 daysso dont anic too much over this 28 days ruling. I know lots of people on 457 who have bought houses and land you are classed as a foreign investor mortgages are easy to come by
  4. We are on a 457 we were in NSW and had to pay $4500 now in Brisbane and its free apart from voluntary contribution and books and uniform etc.. Private local school was $6000 pa for primary school age

    <p>Hi just noted you were originally from Glasgow so is my hubby, Sutherlandshire didn't appeal to us when we looked round and spoke to people via net horses for courses I always say never though when we get there and look may be different.</p>

    <p>What does OH do? Mines an IT guy hope everything gets sorted for you looks though he may be going ahead if they want him there quickly</p>

     

  12. <p>Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year heres to 2010 xx</p>

  13. Tim what about this as a sticky its well founded and useful advice
  14. <p>Confusing I had two messages from you we are also from Almondbury</p>

    <p>Hi Julie</p>

    <p>OH had had a couple more telephone interviews and he has one tonight that sounds quite promising, isn't skype wonderful, so its fingers tightly crossed, we just want to get things sorted and move over there asap. How are you doing everyone well etc?</p>

     

  16. <p>We are waiting for our number from my OH 's employer and then we can do our bit, Hubby will be working central Sydney so we have been looking round Killara, Lane Cove, Lindfield and that area quite expensive though how have you found it we would be looking around $750 rental and to buy upwards of $800</p>

  17. <p>Just a quick message noted you are going to Sydney on a 457 my hubby is also on that track how long did your 457 take to come through and as its a 457 you dont need a medical here and over there it is your health over there that will be considered I dont think they will go back that far. Where is Sydney are you going?</p>

  18. <p>Sorry didn't see your message do you now know about the chicken clicking now if not pm me back</p>

  19. <p>Thanks Debbie seems a lot of IT jobs around Sydney area</p>

    <p>Barry used to work for the BT phone book in Dundee we think we may have to rent our house out as well the way the market is at present, also I have my moms house in the Midlands just putting that on market this week.</p>

    <p>We used to be up and down to Scotland regularly as Barry has family up in Carmyle but haven't been up for ages and I love it up there especially shopping in Glasgow and a glass of wine sounds like a great idea.</p>

    <p>Nice to have someone in the same boat to compare notes with. </p>

    <p>Just about recoverfing from a trip to Hexham yesterday to visit my eldest and a meal and today a visit from my hubbys sister and family and out for a meal with them so relax night now when we ensure all his homework been done he was too excited Friday night!</p>

  21. <p>I am in Huddersfield where are you</p>

  22. <p>Hi Jo you have just caught me in the middle of a dilema hubby just had a phone call last night regarding his 457 we maybe off to Sydney now not Brisbane:( I had done my research on Brisbane so now trying to look up on Sydney) but things could change over night and it may well still be Brisbane. Has your OH got a job sorted? Where are you based in UK</p>

  23. <p>btw lots more opportunities in Brisbane and hubby looking for 457 so doesnt have to do RPL if he can avoid it got some possibilities waiting to hear back from a couple of companies, also better weather for my health</p>

  24. <p>it was by debbie sharpe if i remember correctly</p>

  25. <p>I think it was titled something like what else can go wrong.</p>
