Thx Adam Would you mind if I pm'd you?

Ahhh ok so as long as its under 1g I'm good..?

Hi guys Im in Sydney and am trying to get a laptop sent over from the USA. The shipping is scary expensive however what about the tax? Will I be charged import tax on this one item? It is valued now at about 1200aud and weights 16lbs Thanks

There you go again with silly assumptions

Swift change/ Ive been travelling for 7 years teaching in about 11 different countries. I doubt you can call that swift. Anyways I am spent on this now, I came here to update, this has gone way too left and like most of the posts in this thread unhelpful To future readers etc, its upto you what you choose to do, just dont think the people on here are always correct Goodbye

Keep going man, please, more of you please add

My god you are so ill-informed. Like I have said now it feels like a million times, PM me or, if you dont trust my advice then seek professional migration help.

Oh Blossom, your making yourself and this forum look worse. What I did forget to mention ,which I thought didn't matter as I was informed incorrectly, is the two Diplomas I hold.

I think it has alot to do with the post you wrote on this thread. I found it incredibly unhelpful whilst at the same time intentionally deflating. Your advice was categorically incorrect, which means that your biting, rather blunt and as I have established untrue post makes you look like a bit of a plonker. The reason I do not want to share with you is simply have nothing more to say to you and Im finished posting on this. Anyone else feel free to PM me

If anyone would like anymore info on this then they can pm me.

Thx mate Im trying to open an account that is best for me when travelling. The majority of my money is in Oz however I do travel everywhere so need an account which doesnt sting me everytime I take money out. Anyone know of any other accounts that might be worth trying...?

Update guys From what I know now my circumstances do permit for sponsorship. I took yr advice and approached HR about this who found this out and formally offered it to me. However, due to perhaps time pondering and perhaps staying in Oz for the wrong reason Ive decided to keep going on my travels. I love Oz but perhaps now is just not the right time. I really appreciate some of you for trying to help, but seeking professional advice is advisable to anyone reading this post. Good luck guys and thx again

Thx blossom

Ah man I just wrote a huge post explaining why it is being done like this but tbh that really is missing the point It will happen, just first need to make sure it legally can

Well this is the point, the position I have been offered is actually within the new English esl department that is opening next semester. I don't hv a degree but I have exactly the right qualification and above the five years experience needed. If I hv to leave its no biggie, I like it here but the world is a big place and there are many opportunities out there

Lol this thread has gone a bit too far left now. Appreciate the advice and will see what happens Thx

I appreciate yr advice but to say bleak is a bit far. Yes it will be hard but i hv the job, I hv the experience needed for my offered position, it just depends on my company knowing what to do. My qualification might be a big help as it also relevant to my position . However I will see an migration lawyer to see Exactly where I stand Thx guys

This is good advice However I have found a course my uni runs which might be what Im looking for. I just hv one more question about credits. I have been looking online and just so I know where I stand, can anyone tell me how many credits a CELTA is worth in Australia? Ive looked and all I can find is that is a Level 5 qualification

Hi again Well this sponsorship business is looking more and more difficult, what Ive now gotta do is think about doing a bachelors One that would lead to pr is all Im thinking about. I have a job which said they would keep me but Id like to find out about this work restirction stuff. It says 40 hours per fortnight unless 'Work that is a formal registered part of your course is not included in the limit of 40 hours per fortnight.' Can anyone help explain this a bit more clearly? If I work for the uni that I am studying at does that help at all in the amount of hours I can work..? Also what about ABN? Can you work on an ABN aswell as the 40hrs? Also blossom could you pm me a link to that 11kper year uni? Thanks guys

Bummer I will start a new post or bump an old one regarding a student visa now

Thanks One thing I did forget to ask and I have heard this before, is can employers employ you for more than the whv 6 months max? Im sure Ive heard they can but not by much. For instance my contract finished in August yet my WHV doesn't finish until October

Ok thx guys back to the drawing board

Update Well Ive spoken to my boss who is really pushing for things now but internally there seems to be loads of red tape. What she has asked me about is visa extensions. If they were to offer me a 12 month contract would it be possible for me to extend my WHV? (If I was eligable etc) I kind of already know the answer but I just want to be sure on every avenue

Hi guys Ive recently found out Citibank offers free withdrawals overseas, does anyone know which account this is?

Mmm ok thanks R we talking a few hundred or nearer the thousand mark ..?
