Hi,
Myself and my partner have been considering emigrating to Australia for a long time. We recently got back from a three week holiday up the gold coast from Brisbane to Cairns in our rented campervan. Since returning we are certain now this is something we would like to make a go of.
Both of us have spent the past few weekends reading up on options with visas and requirements etc. However we are unsure in what order we are best to go about the process and which visa would be best suited to us.
Would we be better off going down the sponsored route, nominated skilled or skilled migration visa?
Any help or personal experience would be much appreciated. My girlfriend works in social working and has been looking at paying to have a migration skills assessment with the AASW to allow her qualifications to be recognised in Australia. Is this something people would recommend doing, at all, now or later in the process?
