Hi after spending past couple of weeks studying various visas (my other half's occupation Painting and Decorating (has also Tiling and also Metal Polishing) is on SOL but as he is nearing cutoff age, he can't get the points; my occupation (food technologist) is on SOL2 but no state is currently sponsoring my occupation (aaah!!); and have a coz who could sponsor on a provisional 475 visa, but as we have 3 wee kids not sure about the medicare reciprocal deal, and also as this is category 5 believe this means a very long wait...?!?! so... think trying to secure ENS while in UK may be way to go. so basically wondering if anyone has gone down this route and been successful, and if so if you could give us some advice, some pointers how to get in touch with potential employers, get the ball rolling and get that ENS visa. Any advice would be greatly appreciated , along with details of timelines for this type of visa - jez its such a minefield... would love to hear of anyones success or ongoing search / application... thanks Annie

Hi Shelly do you know on a UK passport what kind of reciprocal Medicare you'd be entitled to on a 475 temp skilled sponsored visa (not the 457 ....confusion). We've got 3 wee ones under school age, and may have to try for 475 , but apprehensive with the wee ones Thanks
