cazzzyboy Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Just returned from perth and loved it. Looking at the possability of relocating myself, wife and 2 kids permanently. Is this possible without sponsorship and if so is there a rough costing for the application? Any info would be much appreciated. Im fully qualified joiner in uk with 18 years experience, no criminal record and full english spoken if this helps any. Age 35. Also, wifes sister is a full australian resident or citizen( not sure which). Is there any visa i should be specifically applying for??? Thanks in advance.

VERYSTORMY Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 A 189 should be possiblen. This is an independent permanent visa. The costs are $3600 for yourself, $1800 for subsequent applicants such as wife and children (each). In addition you will need a skills assessment (allow up to a thousand. Police checks and medicals allow another thousand. You will need to start research here www.border.gov.au First you need to calculate points. You need a minimum of 60 to apply and this needs care. Many people find they need to claim English for points and this requires taking an English test such as ILETS. Once you have a positive skills assessment and if needed ILETS, you can submit a expression of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Pom Queen Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hi @cazzzyboy I've just come back from Perth and like you I love the place. I hope you find a way over. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazzzyboy Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Iv looked into the visa process now and it appears i would qualify for 75 points after the ilets exam. Happy days. I now wonder if i did get a visa would i have to actually enter australia within a certain timeframe or could i just get my visa sorted and make the move in a few years?

Barry1986 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 You can just go on holiday to active your visa and I think then you have to move within 5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be in a position to apply and do meds sometime in June / July. Hoping for a speedy grant as it looks like I'll have all the necessary for them. We'll front load 2 x Form 80's too.

I see they asked you for one? B Be careful of front loading. There are million things that can cause a delay even the department going on strike which is not unheard of. At the same time it does not speed up the process at all as the meds and pcc just sit on the system until the point they would have been requested anyway. It also has potential negative consequences. You must validate within a year of the earlier and if there is a delay you can have an issue. If something happens in your life that causes you to delay, the department can be very harsh and cancel the visa if you do not validate. Buy yourself as much time as possible as it has no negative.

Melli Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Heading over in October. I've been offered work in several places as Sydney seems to continue to grow. It is a big decision me and my wife have had lots of ifs and buts. But We agreed as should you that if your going to do it you need to give it 100% otherwise the doubts will creep in. What's the worst that can happen you get there give it a go and decide you don't like it ( which you won't, hopefully) and go home again?? Boring old saying but it's better to regret what you've done on your death bed that regret what you didn't do.

I see they asked you for one? B Yes they did, I would definitely front load the form 80, medicals, and pcc's. We front loaded PCC'S & Medicals and I requested to front load the form 80's as I knew we'd be asked for it having lived in Oz for 2 years, NZ for a year and having 3 different PCC would be a case for more information. My agent said no, never give DIBP information they haven't asked for, as you could open up a can of worms and they want more considering the form 80 is intense. In my opinion my agent was being lazy. Of course they asked for it, 2 weeks later and now I am stuck in the queue. It's been 9 weeks since lodging and 7 weeks since request for further information. Tomorrow is Anzac day so I am hoping for some news by the end of the week Good luck with the process. Give them everything they need. I've seen people get a grant 2/3 weeks after submission as their files were complete with all info so they just needed to assess everything and finalize immediately.

There are very good reasons for not front loading and none for front loading. If you front load, they just sit on the system until the CO would have asked for them. But, delays can be common and cause police and medicals to expire. For example, a couple of years ago the department went on strike and everyone had big delays. At present with all the sudden changes, delays are inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true VeryStormy, but I didn't know this when we front loaded. I've only ever heard good things about front loading to be honest but you are right. Isn't there a certain timescale that they have to finalize your case if for example your police check is running out shortly. I read somewhere that they need to give you at least 2 months to be able to activate the visa before it runs out. Whats the worst that can happen though, you apply for police check again? Medical would be a bummer though considering it's £300! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
