I was asked to list reasons I didn't want to live in Queensland.

I can only tell you that's what their letter said.

They wrote and told me that a friend in Queensland was one of the reasons. They said I should go and live there instead. In fact I had to write a letter saying why I didn't want to live in Queensland, which does seem a little, to use your words, crazy.

I checked before applying and my occupation was on the list. It's too complicated to go into in a short post that's why I tried to condense everything. My agent is looking into it. In MY opinion it does feel like a lottery.

They said i didn't meet the requirements for that visa. My agent said declaring that I have a friend in Queensland went against me. It just seems to be a lottery. I passed all the test I had to do and got all my skills assessed but it seemed to make no difference. I'm going to keep trying though.

There does seem to be a lot of conflicting information out there. I originally applied for a different visa. They said I didn't meet the requirements for that visa despite me getting registered as a teacher etc. They said to try a different visa type. It all seems a bit impossible at the moment. I'm using immigration 2oz. My agents suggested Tasmania but said I'd need a job offer. I don't know how likely it is to get a job off. It's so complicated!

Hello all

I'm a primary school teacher. My PGCE is with French, which is what Victoria are looking for. My application was rejected but I now have an agent helping me and I'm going to reapply. I'm looking to live in a regional area. Does anyone have any advice about the whole process, applying for jobs etc? I've passed the IELTS and have my Victorian registration card. Just need the visa.
