Shearer Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi my hubby is going to Australia as metal machinist. Just got successful outcome on tra skills assessment. It's no sols list so we are about to apply for 189 visa. So long as you have at least 3 years of work experience after you finished your qualifications and you have employers references, pay slips and statutory declaration on jobs tools etc that you use to prove it.

blake2312 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I just completed my apprenticeship 4 months ago and have been working for 3 years, does that mean i have to wait like 2 years 8months? And is your husband finding it hard to find a job or is he got a sponsership? Thanks for the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearer Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 we got told that he had to have 3 years after qualification before applying for skills assessment. So would mean that you would have to wait unfortunately but you could always speak to an agent regarding this??? They would be able to tell you if you are able to apply for it or not. Regarding a job etc - he knows a couple of ppl already working in Australia who will pass on his C.V and also we are with an agent who advised that they would be able to find him a job (not holding my breathe on that one tho) we are not moving over till he has a job as we have two little girls and need security beforehand. Good luck tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 regarding agent i would not go with the one we are with (not able to name them on forums)- but heard a lot of good things from agent Go Matilda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 First two things to do are to see if you can pass a points test and then, more difficult, look to see if you can pass skills assessment, that is usually the hard part. Based on what previous poster said, you won't be able to just yet, however no harm in checking that independently, it is always possible that Shearer was misinformed.

Alan Collett Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yes, at first glance the migration skills assessment is the main hurdle to be cleared. The details here might help you progress your understanding: http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/occupations/m/metal-machinist-first-class.htm If a general skilled migration (GSM) visa isn't an option and you are aged under 31, maybe a Working Holiday Visa as a means of getting you to Australia is worth a look, with a view to seeking out an employer sponsorship? Higher risk than a GSM pathway, but might be an alternative? Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
