:biggrin: Hiya All, Just wanted to get some answers from you guys regarding the process of emigrating and cost.We are a family of six,hoping to move to Oz by 2013.I am a mental health nurse and my husband a communications engineer.We have a son of 20,daughter 18 and twin boys of 11,god bless them. I am in the process of sending documents to APHRA and have registered with nursing agency.Hoping to go on 457 visa (sponsered).We have no savings its just giong to be sale of house that will pay for removals,flights and down payment for bond for rental.We hopefully will secure jobs before we leave.In my situation I maybe the one with job at first. The questions we wanted to ask were,how would our situation be to apply for a morgage,and finance for a car.I am 41 my husband 42.With the sponsership we will apply for PR after few months.We have a car but undecided whether to transport over.Any info on car prices we have researched and wanted to know if they really are that expensive.Hope there are lots giong through the same. Lisa

Hiya, Think these worries are natural. Im a Mental Health Nurse hoping to move over to Oz. In the early stages of registration with APHRA. It is a massive decision to undertake.I am hoping to apply for 457 visa (sponsered).I am married with four children,20,18 and twin boys of 11 all ecxited to go.My husband a communications engineer.We have no savings just from sale of house to undertake this journey.We feel as long as we get jobs to go to its happy days.If there is something in life you want to achive do it,life is too short. Lisa

Hiya,thanks for replying. Its mindboggling,just want to give our son the opportunity to see whats out there.If he decides to stay thats all I could wish for,however if not it will be heartrenching.I think OZ will sell itself. Lisa

Hiya,thanks for replying. How long have you been living in OZ, and sorry what is whv? There is so much to learn.I am a nurse and registering with an nursing agency who will help us apply for 457 visa.Just want to give our son the opportunity so see that there is more to life. Lisa

Thanks for information, I have researched that option its a bit scary that he can only be employed for 6mths as we are giong to apply for PR. lisa

Thanks for that cal,its just a bit scary want my son to be with us. lisa

:biggrin: Hiya all Hope someone out there would have the info regarding visa type my son sould apply for.We are a family of six hoping to take the plundge,however my son would have to apply for himself as he is 20 and unable to be included on our 457 visa.He works as a groundsman and wants to emigrate with us.
