Hi all, Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction - in the construction trade here what is required a White card or red card for construction in Victoria? From reading on-line I can't quite figure it out? thanks in advance...

We are CAT 5 and going nowhere fast ... it has been reccommended to us to drop our Victoria State Sponsorship (that we have) and to try WA as hubby's trade is still on there list ...which will result in us being moved to Cat 3. Now here is where I'm at... I have no want to live or go to WA (having been in australia on and off for over 10 years)... I know exactly where I want to be in Vic and a full network of friends and family there...I am aware that it is only a moral obligation to live in WA so my question is ... do I do the right thing and stick with CAT 5 and just see what will be will be ...or do I go for WA, to get Cat 3 and hopefully GET my visa (knowing full well that I have no intention of being in WA)!!!! Also, what happens ...if we do it (get CAt 3 on the back of a WA application and eventually get a VISA) .... can we just fly into Victoria and no more about it... or do we need to go to WA first????? Anyone know??? Thanks for reading!!!!

Hey all, We are currently on a 176 (Cat 4) with approved state sponsorship from Victoria dating back to Jan 2010. It's taking sOOOOOOOOO long!! My husbands trade has since been removed from the list, but we now are in the position that he has been offered a job (in his trade) in Victoria...and I'm just not sure how we approach this.... do we now re-apply under a different sub-class of visa or what is the best approach? Do DIAC need to contact the employer ... just unsure what our next step is, so any help would be appreciated.... many thanks!

A quick question...Does anyone know how long a decision made by the MRT will stand for??? A previous application for a Skilled Migration was refused, however after a Review Tribunal it was granted (some years back).... the confusing bit between is that since it was granted no-one was notified (that we are aware of...and several house moves later) this has only come to light now. I have tried contacting them directly but with no response to date as yet.

Hi there, We are heading too... or at least that is the hope !! Headed to Melbourne...but WHEN is the burning question! Have our state sponsorship granted since last Jan, we applied for a 176 visa... still waiting to hear anything!! Good to know that there are others on the boards.
