Thanks guys good luck to you both too!! My head is scrambled ha ha!

Just under 3 weeks from nomination to grant. Very quick!

Cheers Amy!!! Ahhhh my head is all mashed up lol!! I'll PM you now!

OMG we got our 457 visa granted this morning so relieved and excited!!! Melbs here we come!! thanks to PIO for keeping me sane and offering support along the way!

Hi no my title is different and it was okay it's all down to the tasks and whether they correlate with Anszco description.

My experience only: If you don't have the degree for 457 you will usually need 5 years relevant experience. After 2 years on 457 you can the apply for PR through transition route and you don't need a skills assessment. That's what we are planning, my BF hadn't finished his degree but has 11 years experience in the occupation that has been nominated.

Thx Snifter I've emailed them!

ah really thats loads! were they good? how big in feet is the largest container then? im sure i read it was just over 6ft? must have read it wrong...they certainly seem cheap, dont mind packing it all up ourselves either if it saves us some money.

Hi all we are at the stage where we need to get quotes too. We only have a one bed flat and we're not taking any sofas/chairs or wardrobes or white goods, however it's surprising still how much we want to take! I think movecube looked too small so now looking at John Mason what others would you recommend? Cheers kez

Exciting times Amy!! Hopefully not too far behind you :cool:

Cheers Amy can't wait for that drink!

Yeah!!!! Fab news Amy! Well chuffed for you, you better get a move on now!! Stay in touch xx

Hi hopefully we will be in melbs by then do defo want to watch a few games!!

That's nuts! Yeah I've looked at move cube but not sure all our stuff will fit the large box doesn't look that large?! Ill defo call them for more info. I like the fact it's door to door.

Cheers Amy ill tell him to ask for sure. What shipping company are you using?

I know I get asked everyday! An ex colleague arrived in Adelaide this month and got HR job within two weeks plus two other job offers so I'm hoping ill strike lucky too. I have 10 years HR experience and plan to do some e-courses on the legislation as soon as visa arrives. I did ask my bf if I could be a lady of leisure for a while but he threatened me with pocket money so I thought better of it! We have family and friends in all the major Aussie cities except melbs, typical! All part of the adventure!!

Hello I'm planning to resign which scares me to death as I have a great job and the prospect of job hunting fills me with dread. luckily my notice period is only 4 weeks so as soon as visa arrives in my inbox so does my resignation! We rent so need to give two months notice so could mean we lose deposit or ask BF employer to cover that cost(if they want him in march then least they can do) we will arrange a short term rental for around 4 weeks while we hunt a flat out and suss out areas to live. You will love cairns fab weather, GBR on your doorstep, you must go north and visit cape tribulation. @amy hopefully you will hear this week I've marked my diary at work counting down weeks from visa lodge day! I've listed all our worldly possessions to ship and biggest to do list ever! Glad we are all in same boat to keep ourselves sane...maybe :chatterbox:

Hi if all goes to plan we are heading to Melbourne! Yep the wait is torture but it's worse once all documents have been submitted cos all you can do is wait! Fed up looking at jobs and properties as too early for that. I set uup an email alert from immi so when our status changes we receive an email alert, nothing obsessive about that! We decluttered our flat too so we are almost ready to pack up. Fingers crossed for us all have you been to cairns? I lived and worked there when I did whv years ago lucky you!

We had to provide photos with each others family joint bill or council Tax statement or tenancy agreement plus letters addressed to same address. Stat decs from each of us plus one from each others friends! Seems over the top but hey ho.

Hi there, we submitted last week for nomination and visa, our MA said roughly 3-4 weeks (Melbourne) I hope she's right! Where you heading? My BF is being transferred on promotion so we are hoping its as straight forward as possible as they want him in March. Is your employer already SBS?

good tip thanks!

Thx no always been kezzles

Ah you could be close to decision then? Glad er already sbs that would have been torture waiting for that first! After our rocky road to oz I hope the positive result is coming our way. I need to find a job so need to crack on... Plus wanna shout it from roof tips lol!

Thanks Amy same to you! hopefully we can 'cheers' down those lanes in Melbourne soon!
