As a Real Estate Agent 612115

Sorry- meant either Concept Australia OR Visa Bureau?

After a 'few' hours more investigation, looks like I can get over there but to Western Australia- not to Sydney though. Has anyone had experience with Concept Australia of Visa Bureau?

Hi Rupert, my profession is a property manager (five years) and I am member of two professional bodies over here. National Association of Estate Agents and also a member of Association of Lettings agents- and it is on the list on csol. The girls Dad is a skilled carpenter. I was just looking for advice really as I would love to be able to give my daughters more opportunities than we could have here. I would never ever tear the family apart if we were not all agreed on it. I am struggling to find the correct form to apply with. My sister has offered to sponsor me but as I understand it, I also will be required to have the strong skill set as well.

Hi memmy- I would love to chat but can't seem to work out how to send a message to you. Feel free to message me (however its done) only joined today - will have a proper look tomorrow X

Hi Melza- he has the girls every other weekend. But no more contact other than that. I don't want him to apply for a visa- I just do not want him to try and prevent us going. He refuses to pay any child support ( I didn't really want to say that on here) so I am just trying to make sure I have all bases covered, as I seriously would like to take the girls with his permission rather than opposition X

Its going to be a tough one to manage it- but I am very determined. I am a member of NMAEA and MARLA- does anyone know if this a strong enough membership to a professional body to help in my skill set?

Well after two weeks of dithering about it- I have decided to start the application process to move to be closer to my lovely sister in Sydney (she will be sponsoring me and who I miss dearly) I have two girls (13 and 8). They are happy with the move but slightly worried about leaving friends. So here we go!! After talking at length with my girls about the pros and cons (my eldest daughter's con at the top of her list was Spiders) - we have agreed we will give it a go and if we become extremely uphappy we will return to the UK. My partner is adamant he will not be joining us . I was made redundant (Property manager, resi sales and lettings covering 5 employees and two offices) this month and am currently on garden leave with no job prospects in our area. (Its a very small market town with little or no work available) Larger towns are half an hour to an hour commuting distance! My girls Dad is not at all happy about our decision but he has little contact them and not a great relationship with them. I have said that if I get the girls residency then he could maybe get a visa in the future as his work (builder) is dire over here (would this be right?- am not sure if he could get a visa under those circumstances?) He seemed a bit happier about it then. Any words of advice or wisdom would be welcome or am living in a daydream world about what could be possible? Mez

Hi Memmey, Reading your post has made me join this site today so any tips are welcome. I am just starting to fill out visa forms today- pretty much in a similar situation as yourself. It may help to have a chat? - I am looking to move near Sydney, to be near my sister. I have 2 girls 13 and 8. My partner doesn't want to go. Very Kind regards Mary.
