We are not off until May ish, not sure where we are headed yet, staying in Clarkson with a friend to begin with but will do some exploring when we get there to find a nice area with decent schools etc. Also depending on where the work is. Have you both been to WA before? I think your husband should be fine getting a job, we are both chefs and on our working holiday a few years ago we just walked into restaurants and got jobs in every one we went in!

hi NI Tracey T, is your husband the main applicant or you? my husband originally applied as a chef but failed TRA as his nvq level 2 wasnt comparable to AQF3, so we re-applied as 'cook' (even though he has been a chef for 15 years) and passed TRA with that. A few months later here we are!

on western australia's state sponsorship list (http://www.migration.wa.gov.au) there are a couple of hotel/hospitality management occupations available for state sponsorship (190 or 489 visas). I think your wife would need a couple more years experience though but it is worth checking the list to see if any of these are a match for your wife's job and if so contact the skills assessor 'Vetassess' to find out if her qualifications are of a comparable standard and how much experience she needs. WA are changing their skills list very soon though so keep an eye on it in case those jobs are removed from the list. I don't know if any other states have jobs that match on their lists, its just we are applying for WA so know more about theirs.

which areas do you and your wife specialise? do either of you have work experience relating to your degrees since completing them?

photocopy your documents and take the copies and originals to a solicitor, notary or Justice of the peace and ask them to countersign them. They will charge a fee, usually a justice of the peace(JP) is the cheapest and sometimes free, they work at local sheriff courts but ring first to find out when is best time to come in.

<p><p>no not heard yet thats 9 days now, its just frustrating how they are so difficult to communicate with. I can see us having to wait up til after 1am to ring again and even then we aren't guaranteed any answers! What is the deal with this 'best fit' policy anyway, i tried researching but couldnt find anything about it. I don't know what to ask about if i ring them, did they explain it properly to you? is it that they can now assess you under the trade that best fits your application whereas they could only assess under the occupation you asked for previously?</p></p>

<p><p>so is it correct that you originally applied to be assessed as a chef but they contacted you and basically gave you the option to change and be assessed as a cook instead? im hoping that as you did this they will review my oh's as a cook as well but not holding out much hope!</p></p>

<p><p>hi there, thought i would write here instead of continuing to hijack someone elses thread! </p></p>
<p><p>Really good news that you were successful, it must be such a relief! its all pretty straightforward from here apparently...we still have no reply to the email we sent to TRA a week ago:mask: we basically asked if they would do the review but re-assess as a cook or would we have to send a new application in to apply as cook.</p></p>
