Melmur13 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi there! New to all this and to be honest I'm so clueless about it all :err: basically I'm 22 and my boyfriend is 23, I'm a qualified dental nurse and he is a qualified plumber and we would love to emigrate to Oz! Is it a good idea to get a immigration lawyer to start the process for us? I don't even know where to begin! Suggestions would be much appreciated thanks melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary and Jenny Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi Speak to a migration agent (try visa bureau) and see if you both qualify usually its free until you sign up for them to do your application Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggestions would be much appreciated thanks melissa It is up to you if you use a migration agent (not typically a lawyer for Australia). It is more expensive to do so obviously, but if you don't it means you have to be prepared to put in a lot of hard work and do a lot of reading. Where to start is ww.immi.gov.au and use the search function to look into 189 or 190 visas. A few things you could look into also using the search function on that website: check the SOL and see if your occupations are on the list - from memory, I think they will both be so that is good. If they are not on the SOL check the CSOL. Then look up points test and see what you both get. Then look into "skills assessment" for each of your occupations and see if you both have the necessary qualifications and work experience to pass. See how you get on with all that and let us know. If you are really baffled by it all, then that is probably a signal that you would be better using a migration agent. Anyway, report back.

VERYSTORMY Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 One of the things you need to check is the skills assessment and in particular the amount of post qualified experience required in order to pass the assessment. It is a few years post qualified for most occupations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the bottler Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 if you do use a migration agent I would recommend ... GoMatilda ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRK AND CO Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Have you all the the paper work to show qualifications. Have you got 5 years experience after you passed apprenticship, if not it will be required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickled Pink Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm pretty sure dental nursing isn't a job on either list. Plumbing would be though - you need to look at what's needed for a positive skills assessment. You'll also need to consider requirements for a defacto relationship to see if you could qualify as a spouse on his visa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are quite right, it wasn't there, but Dental Hygienist, Dental Technician and Dental Therapist all were. Just misremembered when I posted earlier. :embarrassed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melmur13 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Thanks everyone! I did look on the skills list and noticed dental positions, only one not being there is dental nursing! I'm currently on the http://www.immi.gov.au website! Il print 189 + 190 visas and have a read through! I hope this gets a little bit more understanding lol!
