    But that means living in Adelaide...

    Anyone working in Brisbane at the moment ? What is the market like for application support type roles ? Not helpdesk/level 1 roles but more specialised, eg financial sector...

    Can def agree with the Balmain bit, lived there until January and loved it... It has a real village feel to it with some awesome pubs and really close to the city.

    You can hold Irish, British and Aussie here if those are the 3 countries you have nationality for. It isn't limited to 2.

    I live in Chiswick which is right on the water and is great for running. Plenty of one bed flats about too!

    How likely is a crash though ? In Sydney at least there is no sign of one in the near or distant future...

    any chance of making 1 thread with all your questions ?!

    Cool thanks for the link. At least it looks like it is in the final stage if they aren't requesting further info!

    Hi, my partner visa status has changed from "in progress" to "assessment in progress". Anyone have any idea how long it takes to be granted after this status change ? Cheers

    People come to Sydney and Melbourne because they have usually specialised in a certain area of IT eg: finance/trading technology, and that's where all the jobs are. If you're an entry level IT person/level 1 support then yes, you'll get work anywhere.

    Good to know thanks. They seem to fast track some applications more than others - I've heard of people having theirs approved in a few weeks.

    Hi there, is anyone able to advise the current processing time of the 2nd stage offshore (100) visa ? I have just submitted the required documents. Cheers

    I lived in Balmain fora year, just moved a little further west last month as you get more value for money. Balmain is a great place to live - don't let the lack of beaches put you off.

    I've been in Sydney since December and haven't had any issues finding work. There seems to be LOTS of IT jobs across the whole spectrum and any of the recruiters I've spoken to (a couple of whom are friends) have said the same. Generally in Sydney if you can speak good English, are white (sad but true), have the necessary skills and are willing to learn, you won't have any issues finding work.

    I've had a look on the site for a list of IT specific recruiters in Sydney but nothing pops up... Anyone have something like this? Perhaps you've had dealings with one you'd recommend..

    Stressing about it won't help matters, it won't speed things along. Better off just taking it for what it is and wait it out.

    Got my partner visa (309) yesterday :biggrin: Does anyone know if they actually do wait the 2 years from lodgement before granting the 100 visa ?

    Am I right in saying grants happen at the start of the week (mon/tues) ? Seems to be the case from following this thread.

    I am moving over at the end of the year with my Australian girlfriend on a defacto visa, so thankfully I don't need to worry about the skills assessment side of things. My background is in trading application support and engineering, and with Sydney being the main financial centre in Oz it has been a driving factor in choosing where to settle. How is the IT market at present in Sydney ? Has anyone on here got any experience within this particular field in Sydney and can point me in the right direction ? The obvious choice would be the ASX but there must be more out there!

    I got the following 4 months into the process: "Thank you for your message and please note all requirements have been met and your visa will be granted around 8 to 9 months after the lodgement date." I haven't heard of them making the decision right at the end of the process - If they have enough evidence I think they know then that you have got it, but have to wait as there are only a certain amount of grants allowed at once...

    You usually won't hear anything until the day you get your visa grant...

    7 months and counting for me

    I contacted the CO as I hadn't heard anything for a while after doing medicals. the CO is SV, she has been helpful so far!

    We heard recently we had met all requirements and our visa would be granted 8-9 after lodgement! We lodged in February... very happy :biggrin:
