Really? So when he goes back he can sponsor me (he did say he would and wanted to) but I feel vulnerable with him doing it as though I love him dearly I assumed if anything happened to us I'd have to return? So once the visa is about to end can I re apply for myself even if we are or are not together and if so what's the chances of me getting one? Sorry I'm looking at all angles

No I mean he's got residency so he can sponsor me but if we happen to part company in the next few years because it does happen, then I will have to leave and if I make it my home it would be devastating

And I wanted to do it off my own merits not off his back

Guess I may have to persuade my partner to marry me (which I don't want to as I always vowed I'd never get married again.... And he knows this!)he's going back in 3 weeks and I said if I gonna do it I'll do it by myself... Guess I'm gonna struggle... He's back at Christmas so I may have another idea by then, and I'm out in July for a month. Damn it's gonna be hard I think

No I want to work in real estate, I don't want to retrain and the sponging I was talking about some that easily enter the uk, think I'm too old for the working holiday one as I'm nearly 38,

Lol I've never had any intention on sponging now nor in 2 years, and I thought it was 10 years? I thought uk should adopt the same idea . I have enough money for at least a year or 2 to rent and be out of work but I'd rather work and keep my savings to settle there and put down roots if I can

Can you not open a real estate business in au and employ me lol

Yes your right of course, up to date experience is very essential I know, just hope there would be a way round it, well a better way I mean... Hey maybe they will bring back the £10 Pom deal! (Only joking) it's annoying as I've got experience in a few things but the profession I'd love to further is not enough without experience

Really? I thought it was easier based on the amount of people we have migrating to uk,

It's gonna be at least another few years of training to qualify as a hygienist, but by that time the job may not be on the skills list,

I'd rather go real estate route to be honest, but could increase the field to principle if I did another course? That's for the time being at least on the list

It's really disheartening as I want to go and work not go and sponge off the state... Just wish there was another way to do it or wish the skills list would be accurately updated! Seems it's far easier for people to migrate to uk than it is to the other side of the world...

Yeah I know, I'm heading out end of July for a month to have a look, and if there's nothing then least I would of had a holiday I guess

That's kinda true, over in uk u have to be certified and know property law etc, we hold keys, value properties not just for sale but probate and divorce, then pretty much the same as au for financing etc, we have to know the property and area and we get a wage and commission... Reading some of the job adverts on seek I assumed it was very similar as a wage and commission is offered? If there's too many real estates then why is it on the skills list? Maybe it will be off in July then when the list changes
