Mazza227 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 As the title says really, husband is applying for 189 visa and so far has done qualification in painting/decorating. Also done ielts which he got what he needed for the 189. Now the TRA paperwork has been sent back to our agent so hopefully that will be fine. But the process so far has been quite time consuming obtaining references, and doing the qualification etc. I was reading someone else's post earlier about preparing paperwork ready for 189, and it seems that we probably have most of the hard bits done so far. (Or maybe that's me just being hopefull)!!:huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 The only other hard bit is if they need form 80 from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hijack your post!! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatpack Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I used an agent for the skills part (I'm a carpenter) I then did the state sponsorship and then the EOI myself in under 10 mins, it's really easy with explanatory notes all the way. I did the full application in about 45 mins and sat on it for a few days thinking it couldn't be that easy, after checking it a few times I finally sent it. We've been in Perth for 7 month now:wink: Form 80 is easy too, it just asks the same questions that you've already answered a million times previously. The hard part is the question that asks you to state every country you've been to in the last 10 years, but not everyone gets asked for that.

Que Sera Sera Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 If the police check will come back no trace, and there are no children from previous relationships, so bog standard then give it a go. If there are variables then use an Agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the application can be nerve wracking too as it usually has a bigger financial cost attached to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazza227 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hi just seen that your husband had done a qualification in painting and decorating, was it an aqf he done and who did he do it with? Sorry to hijack your post!! Thanks Hi, yes it was an aqf, he did it through skilling Australia as recommended by our agent. They were very helpful with him and it took around 3 months from start to getting certificate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
