Guest hartleys Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hi, we are just starting the visa process and are applying on a skilled independent visa as my husbands trade (carpentry/joinery) are on the demand list. We will be living in perth. Can anybody please advise us of approx wages, visa application times, and also how easy mortgages are to get with a low deposit and if previous credit history goes with you. Thanks the hartleys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does depend upon the number of visas to be issued each year and when you submit though. I sent mine in myself, I'm not sure whether using an agent hinders or helps the timescale. I guess it depends on the agent! The 'visa year' runs from 1st July I believe. Although they log each application as received they won't issue anymore for the current year once they reach their quota. They are just kept in line and then issued the following year. I would allow at least a year for your application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sharon & Mike Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hey Hartley's wer are Hartley's too hoping to go to Perth. We are apply for 457 sponsored visas and ours have been sat on the system since Feb, we are told by our agent that the Student visa's are taking priority at the moment so we will have to wait a bit longer. Good luck with your process. Sharon & Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
