Wickers

Thanks rammygirl. No I hadn't. I've briefly read about them since it ran out and, maybe incorrectly, come to the conclusion that we weren't eligible. Another option - thanks again Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

Actually, several years ago I had a skills assessment carried out to obtain a PR visa. All was successful but due to family problems we never made the move and the visa ran out 5 years ago. Will this assessment still be valid? Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

No, I don't have a skills assessment I'm afraid. I'm a degree qualified mechanical design engineer with 20+ years experience so maybe I'd pass it OK. I won't mention it and see what happens - I might not even get offered the job! It makes me wonder why they're bothering to interview me if they think that the job has a long term future. I wouldn't employ someone who might not get PR. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

Thank you. Do you think that is something that I could put to them during the interview or wait until a job was offered? Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

Thanks for your reply. A lot to think about! Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

I will be 48 in June and have an interview tomorrow with a plan to go on a 457. In order to get PR before I'm 50, I had hoped to get my employer to sponsor me for direct entry. Am I wrong to think that this is possible? Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk
