No point wasting time. Got to say I'm loving every minute of it so far.

I have just had my first day in Oz and what a wonderful day we have all had. So far so good.

With the speaking you must remember not to use slang and try to vary the words you use, don't always you the same words or phrases. They are looking to see if you have a good vocabulary. The writing is the one I had trouble with on my first attempt, however, after reading the IELTS writing book I got 8's on my next two tests. With the writing you must remember to structure your essay with an introduction, an argument for and against and then a conclusion which can be your opinion. Try to link your sentences with different words rather than 'and'. Hope it helps. Good luck for tomorrow.

Guys, Imsat it three times and on the third attempt I got the 8's I required. So don't give up hope and if you really want it you can do it just practise, practise and practise. Good luck.

Hi all, I have an IELTS writing book I would like to give to a good home. This book is a very lucky book, it has now had a few owners and all the previous owners and me have achieved the required scores after reading it. So if you would like the book PM me with your address and I will post it to the next lucky person. Good luck. First PM gets the book.

Not everyone requires a medical on a 457. If you were working in medicine or with children then you would have defo required one. You may need a chest X-Ray depends on if you have worked abroad before, middle east or Africa.

Ok Guys, the season starts today, good luck to everyone and may the best person win. Any late comers can still join!!!

It looks like they are moving faster with the visa process, it took seven weeks for mine to come through, however, we did have complications due to our daughter having a medical condition. Your sponsor will be chasing it on your behave I,m sure. Good luck.

Stick with it you will get there in the end. My fingers are crossed for you and my ear to the ground for information once I arrive.

Thanks guys and girls. Flights are booked for the end of the month, house is let for the end of the month, rentals all sorted for perth, well first 8 weeks anyway. So excited and nervous at the same time.

Just over a week to go guys, good luck and may the best man/woman win.

Stick with it Deb, it took me three attempts, however I got there in the end. Good Luck

All the above would be benificial to us. Perth WA virgins so would need all the advice possible. We are looking to go NOR too so that would fit in great.

I think that's a great idea and my wife and I would use the group on arrival, if it's up and running by then.

Thanks Val, I can't explain my excitement.

Today I have good news my online status says Visa Approved. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:biggrin::biggrin:

Its great to hear that people are getting them quick. Hope you get yours soon.

Great news Hoff, the more the merrier.

I have sent a fantasy Football league up with Sky Sports, we currently have 9 people involved and are looking for more to join. If you're interested then go to: http://fantasyfootball.skysports.com/ The details of the league are: League name:PIO_Footie_LeaguePin:8007503

I am now at the 7 week point and still no news. I am now starting to think the dream may be out of reach, also have to say i'm getting rather frustrated with the whole thing, which is tainting what should be an exciting period. :frown: Well done to all who have received positive news on thier visa and I wish you all the best with your future adventure. :biggrin:

Great news Elsie, good luck.

Great news, good luck with the move. :biggrin:

Still waiting.............................................*YAWN* :rolleyes:

How did you get on? I got the required 8's I was after so i'm over the moon.
