Tickled Pink Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I would suggest going to seek an opinion from a MARA registered agent and find out with certainty what your options are, and have explained to you what your pathway choices might be. You sound like you are going to need a lot of help working your way through this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneyboy72 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Thanks Tickled Pink lol We are right at the start of our journey. I have just convinced the missus to go and give it a try with me. My step daughter isn't so enthusiastic because she will miss her dad, but after a chat with him, and him having a chat with her, im sure it will be fine. I am right now starting to look into it with a bit more depth. Hence I came to you's on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving to the other side of the world is a big deal, taking a reluctant 10 year old away from her Father is a tricky one, especially as you say you do not want to do the whole immigration thing. Be aware that if you come on a temporary visa for four years, the 457, that in most states you will also be required to pay school fees which are around the $5000 a year mark.

Shaneyboy72 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Me personally, I would love to do it permanently, but I have to think about my step daughter. If it doesn't work out for her then I will have to bring her home. That's why I wanted to try it before we committed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneyboy72 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 But as you say, it would be better to go for the full visa, then that's what I shall have to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Redd Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Be mindful that there's hundreds of people in your trades scratching around for work over here! I've spoke to so many that have had to uproot the family from one end of Oz to another in the search for work and may have to move on again! Many have been out of work for months! Lots of desperate people willing to do anything! Don't believe the hype that there's a shortage and your skills are in demand, plenty in the que before us mate! Not trying to put you off just wanting to make you aware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
