I think we qualify for 70 points so you’re right maybe a more stable visa would be better, we just wanted stability with the sponsored job but it sounds like it limits you in a few ways! We just worry about the great pension my husband will receive which when we look at it is very much the same as Australia. Which is great, if it works out..if it doesn’t, we worry he wouldn’t get the perks he does now. Not so much me, but he sees those figures..he’s worked hard so I don’t blame him. Is this site mostly people who have made the move or are citizens on here too? You’re a lovely bunch that’s for sure xx

I do believe at present vehicle mechanics is on the medium to long list, I know this can change. We have an agency calling on Monday x

Thanks for all the information guys, it’s nice to have good people like yourselves to lean on for these supportive questions. I could google the hell out of everything and it’s no match to speaking to people with experience. am I good to put any kind of topic on this thread? I will anyway but happy to repost as a new question! so our other very un nerving niggle is, my husbands job here in the UK is very beneficial to our later life, he works at Jaguar Land Rover and some people quote his permanent position there ‘made for life’ he doesn’t like it much but it pays the bills and some. We are so nervous about leaving this behind, for us to have to come home in a few years (ideally if we come we contribute to the country and stay unless it’s definitely not possible) is it worth breaking his service here. Australia for us ticks every box, but where would we stand in building a future for ourselves after work when we are on a sponsored visa just hoping to be able to stay at the end of it!? Thanks again all xx

It will be on a sponsorship visa, I don’t at all mind paying the fees but I’m trying to find out everything I can. i know the little ones will love it, my son who is 7 would be more the worry leaving his friends

Thanks for the info both how long would you say it takes to complete when you find the rental? Do the schools generally reach year group capacity? If we tried to get our son into the school he’s in now he would be on a waiting list and unless a child left he wouldn’t get in, even if he was number 1 on the list. Ideally we wanted them both to start when the children move into their new year groups (everything’s new so they have better chance of camouflaging) or am I over thinking their feelings lol! I’ve been told that depending on which visa we get we may have to pay for school fees is this correct? Thanks again you’ve been a big help x

Hi all, I’m hoping someone can help me out I’ve been seeing some great spirit on here when people ask for advise so I’ve decided to ask for some myself. We will be moving with two children who will be going into primary school, I’m unsure how we will go about renting our property as I’ve heard we can’t rent out without seeing it, understandable but when you can’t what route do I take with this. And most importantly enrolling my children into the school we would like them to go to. Our local popular schools get maxed out so what is everyone’s experience with this? Thanks all x
