We had planned that once the visa was through Stuart would fly out first to sort out work and a long term rental before me and our 2 boys went out. He is now on his first flight to Dubai and is due into Perth at 17.25 (their time) tomorrow. He has only been away a few hours and already I'm missing him so much, I know it will be worth it in the long run. Roll on november when me and the boys are hoping to fly out and be reunited. Sorry for the rant, family and friends here don't really understand how I feel but I am sure that there are others on PIO who have been through the same. :cool:

Any advise from men that maybe have gotton over that barrier or who can see that life has the greener grass would be great. Thank you Also support from girlies would be fab too, when he decides i will feel much better as a bit in limbo at the moment x

Hi everyone, I'm really in need of your help. Right I have told my husband of the countless threads & posts that many of you "in the know" guys have said that to equal our finances & lifestyle over in Oz we should work on the 2 - 2.2 x uk salary scale. But he's just not believing me ! Can you guys help explain it better to him than I can & set him straight & get him to realise its not just one or two folk that says that.

Hi all we are new to this forum, my husband is doing his electrical test today in London. Really hope he passes as will be so disappointed if doesnt but i have faith. :biggrin: We are then nearly ready to put in for our visa, we are using an agent who so far has been great. Hopefully we are moving to Perth in the near future, we are aware how long the process can take which is a bit of a downer but that we cant change. Does anyone know any reason they may refuse your visa as want to get it right first time? My husband has family in Perth which is one of the reasons we decided to go there, we have two boys aged 3 and 10. We are saving like mad to hopefully go over in Jan 2012 if not sooner, look at areas meet family members and hopefully make friends on here so we kind of know people to meet up with when we visit. Anyway fingers crossed for today on passing hubbys test. :wink:

Hey guys, am having a bit of a dilemma, I have just been informed by a friend who is in Sydney that she doesn't think I will be able to work when we get to Perth as our visa (176) is through my OH's skill. I have been on DIAC's website and can't for the life of me find out if this information is correct. Can someone please help me????.........Please Becks

Guest posted a topic in Careers and Vacancies
Hi, i've put together a cv for my husband and have a list of companies that i want to send his cv to, to see if they will sponsor him on 457. The thing is i'm really stuck on what to put as a cover letter, and dont want them to delete it without looking at it first. He is main agent trained and has 20 years experiance! If anyone has any advice x x -
Hello All My husband installs and maintains CCTV and Access control systems for mainly large corperate companies etc, i've been trying to find a loop hole on the SOL and have emailed Adelaide to find out if he would come under Electronic Engineer but (no surprise) i haven't heard anything and that was a couple of weeks ago. Just wondering if anyone of the same trade as had the same problem, also does anyone know if that type of work is in demand out there.

Hi guys, My hubby came over here on a residential permanent visa 3 years ago as a overhead linesman, anyhow now he wants to be known also as a electrician but he has to do his TRA again apparently (nightmare doing the first one):confused: So my question to you good people is , has anyone got a TRA of theirs when they applied to be an electrician, and if so could you send, email it to me so my hubby has a little clue of what they are looking for (obviously with all personal information scrubbed out):biggrin: I would really really appreciate this as the thought of doing another TRA depresses me:cry: and as Im trying to get off the wine, im sure it would only kick me back onto it, lol. :twitcy: Thanks a million guys. Lo xxxxxx:hug:

Just a quick update. Hubby is on his way back to Perth tonight and starts work Monday. A difficult time for us all (yet again) as he leaves us behind for the next 5 months. We've all been there before but it doesn't make it any easier. I worked out how much time we had spent apart since we first headed out Down Under and it is an astonishing 19 months, a real test on our relationship but we survived it! Going backwards and forwards three times now has been an enormous and costly upheaval as some of you know only too well, but we needed to experience it to get to this point mentally and really get our heads round the reality of the decision we have made this time. We are going into this with our eyes wide open this time and the decision wasn't made lightly but the rose tints are well and truly off this time. Despite all the ping ponging having weighed heavily on our emotions and those of our loved ones we have to leave behind, I feel it was meant to happen this way and I have decided to go forwards, embrace and work with my new life rather than fighting against it. I am a great believer in fate and know we have many opportunities given to us throughout our lives. Anyway, I won't harper on or teach anyone to suck eggs! but what I am trying to say is that it is easy for us to remain in our comfort zones all our lives as the old saying goes " "Do what you've always done, get what you've always got". It can be incredibly frightening taking risks and it certainly isn't easy but unless we try we will forever wonder how our lives could have been. Just feeling in a thoughtful mood! :smile: Jackie XX

Well Jamie left at 8 this morning to be at the college for 9.15 to sit ielts. bless him he was quite nervous i tried my best to ensure he,ll be fine, but he knows theres so much riding on his result. He went away in his shirt and trousers and i asked him why not his jeans and jumper but he says he prefers to be dressed appropriately as it gets him the mind set for sitting an exam, hes the same when he had his telephone interviews for oz! When he got there he text to say it was heaving, and there was a couple of them there for migration purposes. I am keeping everything crossed it goes well, we really need this he read the ielts rant post last nite, i told hom not too but curiosity got him and i think that made him nervous this morning, anyhow i told him just try your best and thats all he can do Goodluck Jamie xx:em4400:

Hi all, We are moving to Adelaide very soon. We are coming on a 457 visa. That is fine for my hubby but not fine for me! In England until recently I had my own gift shop and Id like to do a similar thing in Australia. My question is - Are there any restrictions on me setting up a business? and if not will I find it difficult to raise capital (small business loan from a bank) Any advice or similar experience greatly appreciated Jane

Hi guys, my bf and I are planning to get married this year. Before SA SMP was released, we planned to move to the US cuz my bf is American. Now, we both are very happy to plan to move to OZ since my occuopation is on SA SMP list. I think my 475 visa grant will be sooner than we get married. I asked my agent about it, apperently I dont think they know about this matter very well cuz they told me that we should apply a spouse visa. But, on the DIAC website, if I am 475 visa holder, I should add my family member and it does not sound like I should apply for a spouse visa cuz 475 visa is not PR visa so it does not make sense that my bf applies a spouse visa. Has anyone done this before? Does anyone know how long it will take to add family member? Thanks,

Hello, Some of you may have been following the rollercoaster that has been my life for almost the past 2 months now. Basically, OH got let go from his job at the end of September and we have been frantically looking for another job for him. He had an interview with a company 2 weeks ago, and was supposed to have a 2nd interview this week with the Senior Project Manager. Well the Senior Project Manager came back from leave and is crook. OH contacted the guy who interviewed him last week, just to find out where he stands, does the job exist and when are the chances of it happening. Basically, the guy told him that he has the job, and that he just wanted OH to meet the Senior Project Manager so they could keep him in the loop. The guy who interviewd OH will be flying in from Sydney next Wednesday so fingers crossed everyone that we get an offer of employment out of this. It has been a stressful 2 months for us, we have been living off my wage and luckily OH had 4 weeks vacation pay owing to him, so that has helped as well. It is really getting down to the wire, and we are going to have to make a decision about where we go. So fingers crossed everyone for us, as it makes much more sense for us to stay here, and have 2 incomes, rather than go back to Canada, with no jobs to go back to. Cheers Karen -
I wonder if anyone on this status receive the same visa as hubby or a defacto visa?

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with immigrating to Oz, but thought as there are lots of you on here who are IT specialists, that perhaps someone might be able to help me and point me in the right direction!:rolleyes: About 5 years ago I built a website for my hubby's business, but now I need to update it with new photos and things. However, the software I used then has been lost and I cant even remember what it is called. My old computer has recently broken and the backup copy is no good. So I am planning on starting again from scratch. I am no expert, but managed quite nicely with the software I had before, so I am now searching the Internet to find a free download of something which has professional looking templates, where I can just add the information and photos for my hubby's business and then easily upload it to the domain and host I already have. Something nice and easy but what obviously looks professional!:wink: Thank you for any suggestions or help! Tasha:wubclub:

At the moment Neil is feeling really quite deflated. He is now working as an Electrical Project Manager and doesn't want to go 'back on the tools' as he has been off these for about 10 years now all in all and has been a Supervisor/Manager. He has obviously kept his 'hand in' and kept up to date with the 17th edition IEE etc but he is now adamant that he would have to go back on the tools after all this time, can someone please help to clarify this would he have to? I know he would have to apply for his licence to be able to work unsupervised but i've tried to reassure him and it's not working. I'm now having trouble convincing him that it's still the right thing to do for all of us and he's the one who came up with the idea and persuaded me and the kids. We are also now quite 'down' with the way he has starting talking :-( i don't know what else to say to him to put him back on track. I had even broke the news to my eldest daughter (21) who doesn't want to come with us ...............yet and to 72 year old mam and yes we had a few tears but she in the end was all for us going! I suppose she felt a bit better as my eldest daughter would be here for her. He has told me to go ahead if i want to and sort it all out, obviously i can do a lot of the ground work but he needs to sit the tests etc as he would be the main visa holder. Do I go ahead and get the paperwork together, is it worth it? Another problem we have (if we have one?) is that Neil is 43 so we only have 2 years for him to apply for his visa. We are supposed to be going to Melbourne for my nephews wedding next February and I was rather hoping that when we go he loves it and says a definite ok (if not sooner), if this was to happen I would hopefully have all the paperwork in place for his VETASSES tests, do you think that between say March and December we could have everything done and visa application in before his 45th birthday? Can a visa be granted after his 45th birthday as long as the application is in before then? We would be going for either State sponsor or family sponsor. Oh another thing he said was that he didn't want to sell his house here, our house in Turkey for it not to work out and having nothing to come back to................isn't that what it's all about taking the risk I asked?????? My sister-in-law has even put some property mags in the post...........how depressed am I going to be when they come :cry: Has anyone else ever been in this predicament, if so, how did it turn out? Sorry guys for the lengthy post but he won't even talk to me about it at the minute!! :cry::confused:
