The start of a long road to Oz, lots of newbie queastions


5yr Dream

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, new to the forum, we thought we post up here explaining situation, any advice will be greatly appreciated, our scenarios are based wholey in the "perfect world" and nothing will of course go wrong nor as easy as it sounds lol..... we are not that Nieve so please take with a pinch of salt when reading

 

our road to Australia is a long 5yr journey, i wont type a whole load of info, think it would be better to brief in our basic steps towards Oz and list what infomation we have already gathered from browsing this forum

 

background info on us as a family, when we will be looking to go our kids will be 13 and 7 and we have been married 8yrs and been together 15

 

basicly the next 4 years is pretty strait forward as things go. The wife has started uni to become a qualified adult nurse,

 

3 yrs of that will be uni, the 4th year will be first year of experience as a RGN,

 

this is where we plan to start looking for a sponser to work as in Australia, we realise that to be eligible for that wifey will need 2yrs post grad exp, can we start looking for sponsers then as the time it currently takes to finalise a 457 visa is around 10months so by the time we leave her exp will be 2yrs, does it work that way??

 

or will wifey need to work the full 2yrs before looking for a sponsored job?

 

how do 457 visas work for health care professionals? do the sponsor pay the whole lot? visa application costs, visa agent, medicals, flights ect? if not what would we be looking at personally?

 

i think i should say that hubby is unskilled and currently stays at home caring for our youngest who is currently 2, so when we are ready to apply wifey would be main applicant hubby and kids as dependents?

 

we have alot more questions, but i think thats enough for now,

 

again we are aware its not as black and white as this posts reads, nor do we think we have it all correct, thats where we are hoping you guys can come in and share all your valuable information regarding where we want to get to we have 5yrs to get ready of of dream to move down under!

 

thanks for reading guys, and we look forward to your replys
