Will do ?? and thank you ?

Thanks for your reply ? and support. I've had some really good advice from a migration agent and we're going to continue with our dream. Can't give up now! I think we can prove we are good people, made mistakes but got a lot to offer ?? We will get there xx

Ok thank you I will look at those suggested agents.

PS I have had some more advice from two Migration officers who said they would represent us. From personal experience can anyone recommend an experienced officer with complex cases?? TIA

Hi thanks for replying. The cannabis conviction was in 2014 it was for Produce controlled drug class B cannabis; he received unpaid work requirement for 130 hours, costs £340 and forfeiture and destruction; he has no other offences. Mine was in 2009 for Make false representation to make gain for self I received a suspended sentence of 3 months (wholly suspended 18 months) and Conspire commit act to pervert course of justice and received suspended sentence 6 months imprisonment (wholly suspended for 18 months). Both of our pre-sentence reports state low to re-offending. My work investigated it as did the registration body; I kept my job and have had a good character before and after. We both made stupid mistakes. I basically made an insurance claim stating I was driving my car when it was involved in an accident but I wasn't

Hi all if anyone can offer any advice or support or hope or tips I would be so very, very grateful Both myself and my partner have (embarrassing) criminal records (2 me, 1 partner). I understand that the DIABP look at drugs and violence unfavourably. My partner's offence is for growing cannabis, he received a community order of unpaid work and a fine. There are no offences connected to violence or amount to a prison sentence of 12 months. I am also aware that the visa outcome is very much based on each individual case. Has anyone had a good experience they are willing to share (not specifics just a yes it worked out fine because we did this...... or this..........) as I feel really downhearted One Migration Officer this morning said he wouldn't touch our case as "they're not worth the hassle"! We hope to apply for the 189 and have 3 children. Thanks in anticipation

Thanks guys. Yes his occupation is on the SOL. We will look into the skills assessment for tilers. Cheers again for the clarity

Hi Nick Hope you don't mind if I ask for some help. We're in the UK looking at a move to the Goldcoast in Oz and my partner is a floor and wall tiler qualified to teach (no help to you I know as we're in England sorry). Are there plenty of tiling jobs out there? Is this qualification you want to gain essential? Is there any companies you know about sponsoring to bring in the trade? I'm confused! Any advice much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi we are a family of 4 and want to move to Oz asap! My question for anyone who can help is about visas I'm so confused. Is there a visa for people who are self employed? My partner's trade is a self employed floor and wall tiler. He's been self employed for fifteen years. Do we have to go through skillselect? Although I'm under the impression it would be easier to try for a job sponsorship based on my profession (social worker) how do we proceed based on my partners trade? Surely there is a need for tillers I'm told most are self employed in Oz? Thanks anyone who can help :cute:
