Move2oz Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hi just looking for some advice please , I'm fairly new to the forum , so basically we have just started the process of getting all our documents together for our agent , scanning all the passports, birth certificates, marriage certificates , employment ref, and every thing else you do , we're applying for a 190visa on my hairdressing , I have 10 years work experience, so I qualify on the points front, I total up to 70 points but that's if I get 6 or above in all the ielts ( I'm a little nervous as not academic at all) my husband is a builder but he's not on the list. We have 2 kids , none of us have a criminal record at all. we are gonna start the process of selling our house here but as you can imagine nervous if we don't get the visa. Do you think we have a good chance ? Many advice or nice comments welcome TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I would not recommend you sell your home until you have a visa in your hand. That is also the official advice of the department of immigration. Things can and do change along the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Agree with the above re holding off selling your house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I certainly agree with the above posts. Just because you are lodging a visa application does not mean that it will be approved, so to sell your house before you have the visa granted would be extreme folly.

rammygirl Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Agree with the above. You will have time after obtaining the visa to sell up. Especially if you hold off getting your police and medical checks until requested by immigration. Normally you have 12 months from these checks to enter Australia and five years to settle. Visa processing times are getting longer too so unless you are planning to move anyway and happy to rent for a while........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNinja Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Or stay with family. Why not let your house out? Wait out the Brexit wave, and hopefully the Pound will have gone back up by then. Combine this with a hypothetical Aussie housing market slowdown, and you might just have a bigger deposit that you were expecting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
