I wanted to know if anyone else in the same situation as me! I have as job sponsership in Sydney, but just realised/found out the cost of the school fees associated with this vis! 5000 dollars per child per year! I am going to have to pull out of this job offer and apply for permanent residency; I am gutted. It will cost me 15000 for 3 kids so just not worth it. I have sent my CV to an immigratio agency today and they are calling me later. It will cost £2,500 for this route so a no brainier really just the wait now involved!!! I cud cry. How long will it take anyone know???? Thanks xx
