It would be good idea to visit australia immigration website first. on the home page, you find "find visa" form and tell you possible visas for you. You may be able to apply permanent visa, or may need sponsor for your visa... from what you posted here, no clue how old you are etc etc which are fairly important nowadays.

I am going to Margaret River and looking for restaurant/cafe that I can have great dinner (sunday) and lunch(Monday). I go to MR with friends but they are working holidays and tight their budget. Fortunately(?) I have days off on Monday so I am going to stay one night longer than them. I love eating and have experience of dining, so I want to try good restaurants. I will visit by self (I don't mind dining alone), so I want to know a couple of restaurants that are not too formal. Xanadu Winery is close on Monday unfortunately. At the moment, I will try Leewin Estate winery for Monday lunch before heading back to Perth. Any suggestions for dining out and great food (deli etc) in MR? Thanks

some occupations are not selected at all.... Does it mean "no application for the job" or Immi doesn't pick the job...? I know they control the visa number (for themselves to sort applications out QUICKLY! lol), but really, the ceiling will reach end of the financial year...? Looks not easy to get indivisual visa more than I thought.

Congrats! It will be helpful if you mention your occupation as well, to give "hope" for people who applied the same occupation :wink: Looks they are working this Friday night

For the information, check the immigration website, --skillSelect ---skilled workers ----If you receive an invitation --------Read the high lighted sentence: Be aware: If you do not make a valid visa application after receiving two invitations, your EOI will be removed from SkillSelect. As they remove your EOI, simply you have to create new EOI.

What football are you talking about?:wink: "Good standard of football in Australia" would be totally different from your thought. The ball shape is oval, field as well, No net at goal but 4 polls instead :biglaugh:

Thanks Munchkinella, I contacted to TAFE but they said that WA doesn't allow people who got certificate already to go back to apprenticeship. Sent a letter to TRA but, of course, no response yet. I will try workforce as well.

I have Cert 3 /4 commercial cookery and want to get Chef qualification. I heard that if I have 4 years experience in kitchen after qualified (cook), can apply for Chef one, and other said that I can back to TAFE for 3 months(as apprenticeship) and get chef qualification.... TRA website doesn't show any related topics, so I have no idea what I need to do for this. Anyone know? Thanks

Good luck hope you have an easy topic for your each module!

I don't know which group your application belongs to, but this is the processing time http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/estimated-allocation-times.htm If you are in priority 5 ... unfortunately 3 years' applications are in front of you...

I had checked the list the last year(july 2011 to about May 2012, so it was not for skillselect one though). My occupation was cook and it was "not available" begin with, and became "available" after a few months. Retail pharmacy was off/on the list, a few other occupations joined the list etc etc, some movement happened, but it wasn't every month. Just keep an eye on the list all the time as well as seeking another visa option like employer sponsored. Good luck.

many visas are issued in this week already. Immi workers must get pay rise or bonus to be motivated! :ssign7: With any reason, many of us are now smiling!:biggrin:

Sorry to hear that... I am not sure, it is just my guessing, the skillselect has "occupation ceiling number", so WA may control (or even reach) the number already....???

I am working for hospitality industry, in Perth. .... where's the "profit" gone? Obviously, not to me :eek:

OMG, what happened to immigration today! Great news, congrats on your visa for all:ssign19:
